Apple TV+ today unveiled the eerie season four trailer for its psychological thriller “Servant,” which will return for its conclusion on Friday, January 13, 2023.
Hailing from executive producer M. Night Shyamalan, “Servant” will debut with the first episode of its 10-episode fourth and final season, followed by one new episode weekly, every Friday through March 17, 2023, on Apple TV+.
Following the suspenseful season three finale, season four will bring the final chapter of the Turner story to an epic and emotional conclusion. Leanne’s war with the Church of Lesser Saints heightens, threatening Spruce Street, the city of Philadelphia, and beyond. Meanwhile, the shattered Turner family must not only confront the increasing threat of Leanne, but the certain reality that Dorothy is waking up. As the Turner family brownstone continues to crumble, questions are finally answered: who is Leanne Grayson and who is the child in their home?
“Servant” stars Lauren Ambrose, Toby Kebbell, Nell Tiger Free and Rupert Grint, who all reprise their roles for the final season.
In addition to Shyamalan, the series is executive produced by Ashwin Rajan, Jason Blumenthal, Taylor Latham, Larissa E. Michel, Steve Tisch and Todd Black.
Directors for season four are M. Night Shyamalan, Ishana Night Shyamalan, Carlo Mirabella-Davis, Dylan Holmes, Celine Held, Logan George, Kitty Green, Nimród Antal, Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala, and writers are Ishana Night Shyamalan, Alyssa Clark, Laura Marks, Devin Conroy, Henry Chaisson, Amy Louise Johnson and Kara Lee Corthron. “Servant” is produced by Blinding Edge and Escape Artists production. The series was created by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts-nominated executive producer and writer Tony Basgallop.

To date, Apple Original films, documentaries, and series have been honored with 293 wins and 1,256 award nominations and counting, including multi-Emmy Award-winning comedy “Ted Lasso” and this year’s Oscar Best Picture winner “CODA.”
MacDailyNews Take: As we wrote back in October:
The rather glaring lack of awards for “Servant” speaks volumes, especially relative to Apple’s other highly-lauded fare, which is why, after renewing it for a forth season conspicuously without any mention at that time that this would be the final season, “Servant” is now unceremoniously canceled.
Apple has seen enough the series’ viewership data. “Servant” is bringing relatively few new eyeballs to the Apple TV+ service vs. hit series like “Severance,” “Ted Lasso,” and “For All Mankind.” If “Servant” had performed better, there’d be a season five and beyond.
It’s likely the original deal was for a guaranteed four seasons in order to land the M. Night Shyamala name for the then-fledgling Apple TV+ service, which along with “See” (Jason Momoa) and “Dickinson” (Hailee Steinfeld) before it, is now being canceled.
