From Season 3 Makes The Cowboy Monster Its Replacement For The Smiley Creature
Jamie McGuire's Smiley Creature Died In From Season 2
In From season 3, episode 1, "Shatter," The Cowboy Monster seems to take the place of the Smiley Creature as the monsters' de facto leader. This comes on the heels of Smiley's death in season 2. First introduced in "The Way Things Are Now," the second-ever episode of From, the Smiley Creature is one of two monsters that kills Gina (Jessica Barry) and Bing-Qian (Simon Sinn), Kenny's (Ricky He) father, in the clinic. The unsettling figure takes the form of a young man in 1960s-era attire. True to his name, he's always flashing a haunting grin.
New episodes of From season 3 premiere on Sundays on MGM+ through November 24, 2024.
Later on, the Smiley Creature makes a lasting impression in Colony House after a monster called Jasmine convinces a resident to let her inside. Even though the Smiley Creature doesn't make it to From season 2's finale, he leaves a lasting impression on the Township in the show's sophomore outing. After terrorizing bus engers, Smiley is attacked by Boyd, who cuts his own palms, slits Smiley's throat, and mixes their blood together. Smiley continues to grin, but, suddenly, he writhes in pain and dies. This sends a clear message to the other monsters, who seem shocked by their leader's death.
From Season 4: Cast, Story & Everything We Know
MGM+'s nightmarish series From has enjoyed a creepy three-season run thus far, and the terrifying show has been renewed for season 4.
Boyd convinces Kristi (Chloe Van Landschoot) to perform an autopsy on the Smiley Creature. Although his insides are shriveled and decaying, Smiley has the same organs as a normal human. Ultimately, the Smiley Creature's death doesn't do much to clarify any of From's central mysteries. In the third season, the monsters seem to be back with a vengeance, potentially because one of their own was taken. By the end of season 3's premiere, it seems like The Cowboy Monster is the new ringleader of the creatures and, potentially, the one behind the monsters' plot to let the animals loose.
