This one-minute clip from Apple TV+’s Servant season four episode two is creepy, but not in a supernatural way. Instead, it’s creepy as in the entire neighborhood appears to have become infested with bed bugs. But is that really what’s going on? Odds are bed bugs are just a cover for something sinister that’s about to happen to the Turners.
Episode two of the fourth and final season is titled “Itch,” of course, and will find Leanne tormenting Dorothy as chaos overtakes Spruce Street. Episode two will premiere on Friday, January 20, 2023.
The 10-episode final season stars Lauren Ambrose as Dorothy Turner, Toby Kebbell as Sean Turner, Nell Tiger Free as Leanne Grayson, and Rupert Grint as Julian Pearce. Executive producer M. Night Shyamalan, Ishana Night Shyamalan, Carlo Mirabella-Davis, Dylan Holmes, Celine Held & Logan George, Kitty Green, Nimrod Antal, and Veronika Franz & Severin Fiala directed final season episodes.

Servant‘s final season is finally upon us – but as the fourth and last batch of episodes start to play out, they have a hell of a lot of ground to cover.
From the moment Leanne set foot in the Turner’s house, you could sense something was off.
However, with a reborn doll suddenly being willed back into reality, a church cult closing in on the Philadelphia home, and a following growing for the nanny, we know things are about to get worse before we get better.
So as Servant returns for one last round, we’re recapping all the questions the show still has to answer.
Who Exactly is Leanne Grayson?
Leanne Grayson (Nell Tiger Free) is an ever-growing mystery. Strangers seem to form unbreakable attachments to her, there’s a cult after her for some nefarious purpose, and she appears to have some kind of supernatural power.

Servant is a psychological horror series by Tony Basgallop, produced alongside M. Night Shyamalan, and starring Lauren Ambrose, Toby Kebbell, Nell Tiger Free and Rupert Grint. The fourth season will be streaming on Apple TV+ from January 13th on.
Servant reaches its end in this disquieting, disturbing and sordidly funny fourth season in a series, which, whether we like it or not, has the enormous virtue of being… different and knowing how to turn up where nobody expects, mixing genres, surprising and being scarier than ever as only M. Night Shymalan knows how to do, with that style that is so… Shymalan.
A fourth season with an electrifying start in a changing madness which, with its own style, has known how to delight in a chapter, disgust in the next one, and make us fall in love with sordidness in order to discover in each one of its brief chapters,...

It's pretty easy to imagine what the elevator pitch for the AppleTV+ horror series "Servant" was that helped give it the green light back in 2018. A troubled couple, reeling from an unimaginable tragedy that took the life of their infant son, struggle to move on with the help of a "reborn doll" and a mysterious young nanny who shows up on their doorstep. When the inanimate doll somehow turns into a living, breathing infant, the small family is plunged into the midst of much darker and supernatural forces than they ever could've imagined.
Yet for all the buzzworthy names both in the cast -- the show is led by the quartet of Lauren Ambrose, Toby Kebbell, Nell Tiger Free, and Rupert Grint -- and behind the scenes, viewers who've been part of the ride all throughout the last three seasons know that the real draw to this story goes much,...

[The following interview contains spoilers for Servant, Too Old to Die Young and Game of Thrones.]
M. Night Shyamalan‘s Servant has flirted with the supernatural for two and a half seasons as Nell Tiger Free‘s Leanne Grayson appears to have an unexplained yet evolving power. Free’s titular character has seemingly brought Dorothy (Lauren Ambrose) and Sean Turner’s (Toby Kebbell) deceased baby, Jericho, back to life, and she’s even revived Dorothy’s brother, Julian (Rupert Grint), after a fatal overdose. But despite Leanne’s apparent miracles, the Turners mostly downplay their mysterious nanny’s continued warnings regarding the danger they all face from her former cult. But unlike her character, Free understands the Turner family’s hesitance to listen to Leanne’s fears.
“People are so skeptical, aren’t they?” Free tells The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s less about believing in Leanne’s judgment and more about accepting that the supernatural is among you.

M. Night Shyamalan is still going for the horror jugular on screens small and large (his new film “Old” is out July 23) , and the second season of his deeply dysfunctional family thriller “Servant” proves he’s showing no signs of letting up. The AppleTV+ drama continues the tale of Dorothy and Sean Turner (Lauren Ambrose and Toby Kebbell), a young Philly couple reeling from the death of their 13-week old son while simultaneously embracing the arrival of both a transitory “baby doll” who Dorothy believes to be real, as well as a mysterious nanny named Leanne (Nell Tiger Free), who throws the family into further paranoia.
One of the creepiest elements of the chiller is the precise sound design, evidenced most boldly in the Season 2 episode “2:00”, directed by Shyamalan, in which Leanne has found herself imprisoned in an attic by Dorothy, leaving her husband Sean to find the attic...

“He wants to have that family that he had for a small period of time,” explains Toby Kebbell about his “Servant” character Sean Turner, a grieving father and husband to Lauren Ambrose‘s Dorothy. Kebbell laughs in an exclusive interview with Gold Derby about the half-hour thriller from Apple (watch the video above), “They’re too invested; there’s too much put in. Me personally (Toby Kebbell)? No, he should have divorced her years ago! The whole thing’s a mess! It’s a terrible, horrible mess, but I can understand.” The lead actor continues, “They’re not really having a relationship. The relationship is just trying to figure out this problem and he’s too involved in the puzzle to really see what’s good for him.”
“It’s an M. Night Shyamalan show and I would rather always play that there are realities to this,” reveals Kebbell with...

The Apple TV+ thriller from M.

Thirty hours. If M. Night Shyamalan's ambitions are met, that's the approximate length of time one will spend inside the Philadelphia brownstone owned by Dorothy and Sean Turner, Lauren Ambrose and Toby Kebbell's tragedy-stricken characters at the heart of Apple TV+ thriller Servant.
Created by Tony Basgallop and executive produced and directed in part by Shyamalan, Servant follows Dorothy and Sean, a TV reporter and world-class chef, respectively.

You’ve likely seen the promos for M. Night Shyamalan’s new Apple TV+ series “Servant,” and likely have little idea what it’s about beyond being a creepy story with a creepy doll that’s treated like a real baby. And while that’s pretty much par for the course when it comes to a Shyamalan project, we wanted to give you a better idea of what to expect if you plan on binge-watching the thriller’s first three episodes when they drop on Thanksgiving this Thursday.
So TheWrap went straight to the source and asked “Servant” creator Tony Basgallop and Shyamalan, who executive produces and directed episodes of the show, to tell us where they got the idea for this story about Dorothy Turner (Lauren Ambrose) and Sean Turner (Toby Kebbell), a Philadelphia couple who are in mourning after an unspeakable tragedy creates a rift in their marriage...

While many genres lend themselves as well to television as film, horror has generally seemed better suited to the big screen. There’s something fundamental to the nature of horror stories that demands the spell they cast over the audience not last very long — especially because their plots often require the heroes to do dumb things that the audience will start to question after a while. Horror can work incredibly well on television, but usually when it’s cross-bred with another genre (action for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, crime procedural...

M. Night Shyamalan brings a creepy offering to Apple TV+ with Servant.
Starring Lauren Ambrose, Toby Kebbell, Rupert Grint, and Nell Tiger Free, the story focuses on a grieving couple after one of the most traumatic events you could imagine.
If it were up to me, you'd never know the nature of that tragedy before watching because the reveal loses its impact when a trailer gives away too much.
You know that Shyamalan works with jarring reveals in his work. The Sixth Sense and The Village are good examples of it. But if you had taken away the Gotcha moments, you're left with The Happening. Other than for a laugh, does anybody want to be left with The Happening?
So, yes, the official Servant trailer discloses so much that it's difficult to recommend the series. Mark Wahlberg isn't going to drop a whiny monologue about bees, but your jaw isn't going to drop,...

The M. Night Shyamalan-produced horror series Servant on Apple TV+ is also stealthily a cooking show.
The following contains spoilers for the first three episodes of Servant.
At first it seemed a little strange that Servant, Apple TV+’s first horror adjacent offering, would premiere on November 28, 2019 a.k.a. Thanksgiving Day. Apple TV+ itself launched with four original series on November 1 so a date closer to a seemingly more appropriate Halloween wasn’t out of the question.
For those who have seen the show’s first three episodes, however, that Thanksgiving release date is starting to make a lot more sense. Yes the M. Night Shyamalan-produced series about a creepy doll and an equally creepy nanny is technically horror. But it also happens to be essentially a straight-up cooking show.
One of Servant’s lead characters Sean Turner (Toby Kebbel) is a professional bon vivant chef.
