Get ready for a unsettling start to the new year, with the return of Servant on Apple TV+.

From executive producer M. Night Shyamalan, the psychological thriller follows a Philadelphia couple in mourning after an unspeakable tragedy creates a rift in their marriage and opens the door for a mysterious force to enter their home. The ensemble cast of stars returning for Season 3 includes Lauren Ambrose, Toby Kebbell, Nell Tiger Free and Rupert Grint, with new addition Sunita Mani (Spirited, Mr. Robot, GLOW).

Now, a new trailer gives us a proper glimpse of them in action, as Dorothy (Ambrose), Sean (Kebbell), Leanne (Free) and Julian (Grint) face the aftermath of Season 2’s finale. The 10-episode third season picks up there months after we left the Turner household and things appear to be back to normal. Dorothy and Sean dote on Jericho, Julian has a new girlfriend, and Leanne has moved back into the brownstone. With the threat of the cult looming and suspicious visitors staked out in a nearby park, Leanne does everything she can to feel secure – ultimately causing more chaos for the family. As Sean starts trusting in Leanne’s power, Dorothy feels increasingly threatened and worries for Jericho’s safety. While the Turners struggle to keep their family whole, they must come to terms with the costs of Jericho’s return. Be careful what you wish for.
