3. From (2022-present)
From is an MGM+ original series that revolves around a group of people trapped in a mysterious town in America. Although the small hidden town looks pretty normal for an outback place, there is something very strange in the area. For some reason, anyone who reaches the destination is trapped and can never leave the place.
But, that’s not all. If being trapped is hard enough, you haven’t heard the worst thing that’s happening in there. Every night, people who are trapped must protect themselves from strange creatures who do not hesitate to kill. Season 1, which was released on February 20, 2022, shows how the characters survive as they try to find a way how to escape this hellish nightmare. However, we will be getting some answers to the origins of the town’s history as well as the creature’s origins in Season 2. As more people are being supernaturally brought to the town, it’s going to be a bloodbath and many will surely die. Will they ever escape? From is a very horrifying experience even from episode 1. Although it’s not post-apocalyptic or a dystopian future, it shares the same horror in Silo of being trapped in a place you can’t get out.
