Summary
- From season 4 needs to explain the numbers near the Faraway Tree and their significance to the characters.
- Fans hope season 4 will address the supernatural elements and mysteries of the town before a potential series finale.
- The unresolved plotlines, like those in Lost, add intrigue but raise the question of series continuation beyond season 4.
Although fans are thrilled that From season 4 is coming soon, they're still waiting for new episodes, which might premiere in 2026. It's always a bummer when a TV show has long breaks between seasons, but it's particularly tough to wait for more of this supernatural story. Since From premiered in 2018, the MGM+ series has told a gripping tale about characters stuck in a strange town. While some shows might suffer from poor execution, From delivers in every season, and the well-crafted characters are one reason why. That includes Boyd Stevens (Harold Perrineau), who has a tragic family backstory and who takes charge of the scary situation.
While fans want to know why the residents of this town can't leave, there's another big mystery that needs to be solved, and it's a haunting and compelling musical plot point.
From Season 4 Needs To Finally Explain The Numbers In The Bottle Near The Faraway Tree
What Could These Numbers Mean?
Tabitha Matthews (Catalina Sandino Moreno) and Jade Herrera (David Alpay) try to figure out why there are numbers in a bottle near the Faraway Tree, and Jade hears a melody. But what does this song mean, and where did the numbers come from?
Along with a new villain who is as scary as the Smiley Monster, From season 4 needs to dive deeper into this mystery. Some fans have wondered if the concept of the Faraway Trees is inspired by the magical children's book series by Enid Blyton. Either way, the Faraway Tree is an important setting From, and fans need answers. Could the numbers be counting down to some terrifying event, and are the characters in even more danger than they thought? Or are the numbers part of a more peaceful storyline?
Fans have some interesting ideas about the numbers in the bottle. One Redditor suggested:
"I think the numbers are essentially addresses. Enter the tree with a specific number, end up in a specific location. No number = random destination. I think the bottles are just used to protect the numbers from rain."
In another thread, Redditor @Solid-Potential-5406 wondered something similar:
"I think the numbers that appear in Tabitha's dream represent the apartments/cars of people who managed to escape."
It would definitely be cool to learn that the numbers have something to do with the lives that the main characters lived before being stuck in this creepy and supernatural small town. When you hear about a popular TV show mysteriously using numbers, it's hard not to think about the numbers in the long-running drama Lost. Hurley (Jorge Garcia) wins the lottery after playing 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42, and his life is ruined by them afterward. The numbers come up in many other episodes, and it's always compelling to see them.
Although many fans were disappointed by the series finale of Lost, the numbers were a well-crafted and fascinating plotline. But other big mysteries and plot threads were left hanging, including why there were polar bears on the island. When From season 4 returns, it needs to solve the mystery of the numbers in the bottle once and for all.
From Season 4 Needs To Wrap Up Every Storyline In Case It's The Final One
From Season 5 Hasn't Been Confirmed
Every season finale of From has been great so far, as fans have gotten even more invested in the main mystery and the strange town the characters live in. But since From season 5 hasn't been confirmed at the time of this writing, season 4 needs to be satisfying. It would be a shame if the show were canceled before fans found out why the characters are stuck there and what's really going on.
From season 4 should explain the numbers in the bottles near the Faraway Tree and also give a proper explanation as to why the town is so supernatural and terrifying. Then, if From season 5 does happen, the show can evolve and focus on other mysteries and storylines.
