CANNES, LOS ANGELES and LATIN AMERICA - Oct. 16, 2019 - CBS Studios International and Latin American broadcaster NBCUniversal International Networks today announced an exclusive licensing agreement for the new television series EVIL.

EVIL will premiere in Latin America on Universal TV on Oct. 31. NBCUniversal International Networks already licenses FBI from Emmy Award winner Dick Wolf and the team behind the Law & Order franchise, which will return for season two on Oct. 29. FBI is produced by Universal Television in association with CBS Television Studios and Wolf Entertainment.

We're excited to expand our NBCUniversal International Networks partnership with the launch of EVIL in Latin America, said Barry Chamberlain, President of Sales for CBS Studios International. This is a smart, sophisticated drama from acclaimed producers Robert and Michelle King, and continues the long line of high-quality, compelling dramas we distribute around the world.

From executive producers Robert and Michelle King of THE GOOD FIGHT and The Good Wife, EVIL is a psychological mystery that examines the origins of evil along the dividing line between science and religion. The series focuses on a skeptical female psychologist who joins a priest-in-training and a contractor as they investigate the Church's backlog of unexplained mysteries, including supposed miracles, demonic possessions and hauntings.

EVIL stars Katja Herbers ( Westworld ), Mike Colter ( Luke Cage ), Aasif Mandvi ( The Daily Show ), Michael Emerson ( Person of Interest ), Christine Lahti ( Chicago Hope ), Kurt Fuller ( Psych ), Brooklyn Shuck ( Rise ), Skylar Gray ( Me, Myself & I ), Maddy Crocco ( The Sound of Music on stage) and Dalya Knapp ( Les Mis rables Broadway tour).
