As the unwilling residents fight to keep a sense of normalcy and search for a way out, they must also survive the threats of the surrounding forest – including the terrifying creatures that come out when the sun goes down. In season two, hidden truths about the nature and terrifying origins of the town begin to emerge, even as life for its residents is plunged into chaos by the arrival of mysterious newcomers. 

“Congratulations to our exceptional cast and Canadian crew,” said Series Director and Executive Producer, Jack Bender, Executive Producer and Showrunner, Jeff Pinkner, and Creator and Executive Producer, John Griffin. “We hope the cast and crew, and all Canadians, are as proud of the second season as we are.”

Simmons (Diggstown, This Hour Has 22 Minutes), Kaelen Ohm (Hit & Run, Eumenides Falls), Angela Moore (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Maid), AJ Simmons (Reacher), and Deborah Grover (My Next Door Nightmare, Jann).

FROM is created and executive produced by John Griffin (Crater), directed and executive produced by Jack Bender (Lost, Game of Thrones, Mr. Mercedes), and executive produced by Showrunner Jeff Pinkner (Fringe, Alias, Lost).

#SPOTTED: REGINA HALL IN TORONTO FOR “THE BEST MAN HOLIDAY”

Words cannot express my joy at running into the deliciously funny Regina Hall tonight in the neighbourhood.  Still beautiful even with little makeup on, the Actress known best for her work in the Scary Movie Franchise and more recently Box Office Smash Think Like a Man, was spotted with her adorable Bulldog Zeus.  And she couldn’t have been any more patriotic, wearing her Canada Goose Parka on what started off as a Summer-like day, only to turn into a frigid Winter-esque night.

Hall currently is in Toronto filming The Best Man Holiday, Follow-up to the 1999 Comedy from Director/Writer Malcolm Lee, reprising her role as Candy, the kind-hearted Stripper who pairs-up with Harold Perrineau‘s Murch.  And just yesterday coincidentally, I ran into her on-screen Beau (read here!).  She says that filming is coming along well for this Sequel, which continues through late May.

#SPOTTED: HAROLD PERRINEAU IN TORONTO FOR “THE BEST MAN HOLIDAY”

Veteran is a fit word to describe Harold Perrineau, whom I spotted today on a walk with Billy through Yorkville!   Along with his lovely Wife Brittany and two of Daughters, Wynter and Holiday.  Being the cool Parents they are, their four-year-old Daughter Wynter was spotted rocking an iPad even!  And while we’re on the topic of Holidays, that also would be the exact reason the Actor is here in Toronto.

Perrineau is known for his superb Body of Work which includes Lost, Oz,  Sons of Anarchy, Zero Dark Thirty, Romeo + Juliet (Director Baz Luhrmann was just in town this week!) and tells me he’s in-town filming Follow-up to Malcolm Lee‘s 1999 Comedy, The Best Man Holiday alongside Morris Chestnut, Eddie Cibrian and Terrence Howard.  Howard in fact was spotted last night on Queen Street West supporting a great cause along with Rachel McAdams at Our Future Without Aids, a Benefit organized by the CANFAR Young Professional Council.  Meanwhile, Cibrian and Wife LeAnn Rimes were spotted out at Whole Foods earlier in the week before flying back to Los Angeles.

Both Perrineau and his Wife were super-nice to stop and snap a Photo, as he reached over rocker in one hand, handshake with the other.   I am actually looking forward to his portrayal of Sammy Davis Jr. in Inferno, one of two Biopics about Adult Film Actress Linda Lovelace coming soon.
