The streaming landscape has been evolving, with many streaming services trying not to sink as they compete for the same audience share. Strategic licensing deals are taking center stage as platforms look to monetize niche intellectual property. Meanwhile, some streamers also bundle themselves together to offer subscribers better value for their money. Add-ons have also become common. These methods have resulted in some shows made for one streaming service popping up on a competing service.
Ultimately, when the product is top-tier and the licensing math works, cross-platform distribution becomes a win-win scenario. This is the case with MGM+’s hit sci-fi horror series, which has slowly gained acclaim and been made available on multiple streaming services. The show was originally made for MGM+, but has become its most successful series ever. Demand for it has only grown, and as a result, it has become available to global audiences through other streaming services. That’s why the show, titled From, is trending globally on streaming services such as HBO Max, Paramount+, and OSN, as shown by FlixPatrol data.
Created by the team behind Lost, the mystery thriller hits all the right notes. Its premise, about a group of people stuck in a nightmarish town, has kept viewers guessing for four seasons now. Each season layers on fresh cosmic horrors, teasing audiences with microscopic details that promise either to explain the town’s origins or to finally chart a path home. The latest season wrapped up last week, and the show is set to return for its fifth and final season.

Collider Exclusive · Sci-Fi Survival Quiz Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive? The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars
Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.
💊The Matrix
🔥Mad Max

🏜️Dune
🚀Star Wars

01
You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do? The first instinct is often the truest one.

02
In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely? What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.
Advertisement
03
What kind of threat keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.

04
How do you deal with authority you don’t trust? Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.

05
Which environment could you actually endure long-term? Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.

06
Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart? The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.

07
Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all? Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.

08
What would actually make survival worth it? Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.

Your Fate Has Been Calculated You’d Survive In…
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.

The Resistance, Zion
The Matrix
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
Advertisement
You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.
The Wasteland
Mad Max
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
Advertisement
You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.
Los Angeles, 2049
Blade Runner
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
Advertisement
You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.
Arrakis
Dune
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
Advertisement
Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
Advertisement
You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.

The End of ‘From’ Is Nigh
After four mystery-shrouded seasons, From is ready for its last hurrah, and its creative team is ready to offer some answers. When Collider’s Carly Lane caught up with creator John Griffin, showrunner Jeff Pinkner, and director Jack Bender, they kept their narrative cards close to the chest regarding the final season, though they heavily hinted that the townsfolk might have broken the cycle that keeps people trapped here. When Lane pointed out that the Boy in White’s age stood out, Griffin confirmed that it is “absolutely connected somehow to this group of characters that is in town.” But he warned that not all news is good news in this town. Is the cycle broken, or have they made things worse for the next cycle?
All seasons of From are available to stream on MGM+ in the U.S. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
