Evil at PaleyFest LA 2021 sponsored by Citi and Verizon

PaleyFest LA 2021 sponsored by Citi and Verizon. Stars and creatives of CBS’s Evil (Mike Colter, Michael Emerson, Kurt Fuller, Katja Herbers, Christine Lahti, Aasif Mandvi, Robert King, and Michelle King) gather with moderator Whoopi Goldberg at PaleyFest LA 2021 to celebrate their show. Topics include: tackling real-life evil and the “growing unease” in society; skeptical Ben (played by Aasif Mandvi) as a “grounding force” for the other characters; Emerson’s (Leland Townsend) love of playing complex, mysterious villains; occasional moments of levity within scary stories; ghostly incidents from the actors’ real lives; encounters with fans who take the show too seriously; hints about season two, including the fate of serial killer Orson LeRoux and the return of various demonic creatures; the series’ scariest moments, particularly scenes involving children in peril; and how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the production.
