Apple TV+ has renewed M. Night Shyamalan’s Servant for a fourth season. The bad news is that it’s going to be the last.

Fans of Servant will be happy about the latest news. The series has landed an early renewal, confirming that a fourth season is going to happen. Deadline reported the news, but it did come with some bad news attached to it.

This is going to be the final season of the horror series from M. Night Shyamalan. This won’t be all that surprising to some. Shyamalan did hint that the fourth season was going to be the last. This isn’t a cancellation and more of an ending to the series. It really was a show that needed an ending with all those twists and turns along the way.

When will Servant Season 3 premiere?

The renewal is early, which isn’t all too surprising. Apple TV+ has been very good at giving its shows early renewals. Most of them happen just ahead of new seasons premiering, making it possible for fans to head into the episodes without worrying about cliffhanger endings. Can more networks do this?

The third season of this horror series is going to premiere on Friday, Jan. 21.

Always ending with four seasons

It’s easy to complain at streamers when our favorite shows come to an end. However, it turns out that ending with four seasons was always the plan. Apple TV+ is respecting that decision.

In a tweet to announce the renewal, Shyamalan shared that his goal was to tell this one complete story over the course of 40 episodes. That means Season 4 is going to have 10 episodes like the three previous seasons. He knew that there was a chance the renewals wouldn’t happen and that it was a risk, but it was one he was willing to take. It has paid off.

We don’t know when the fourth season will premiere yet, but it’s likely to be in 2023.
