Have you watched the HRM-shot, sci-fi series From yet?

The series is now streaming for Canadians on Paramount+.

It's a big week for Beaver Bank, Nova Scotia: The horror-slash-sci-fi series From—which was shot in the community in 2021—has made its Canadian streaming debut this week, on the Paramount+ platform.

The series' story swirls around a small town in middle America where things are decidedly....off, as all who enter the town are then trapped there in a Hotel California-type situ. Lost's Harold Perrineau leads the ensemble cast of citizens fighting for a way out, while attempting to hold on to a sense of normalcy.  The town's surrounding forest—and the unspecified horrors within—add to the nail-biting energy. (The show's executive producers are also Lost alum.)

“We are thrilled that FROM—Filmed in beautiful Nova Scotia with a ridiculously talented Canadian crew—will finally be available for a Canadian audience,” says executive producer Jeff Pinkner in a release. “Our series is populated by a variety of complex characters from various backgrounds, all trapped in a terrifying circumstance—good luck to our Canadian friends who try to untangle the mystery.”
