Servant is an American psychological horror streaming television series created by Tony Basgallop and executive produced alongside M. Night Shyamalan, who serves as showrunner.[1] [2] The series follows Sean and Dorothy Turner, a Philadelphia couple who hire Leanne Grayson to be the nanny for their infant son Jericho, a reborn doll. Leanne's arrival brings about strange and frightening occurrences for the couple.

The series stars Lauren Ambrose, Toby Kebbell, Nell Tiger Free and Rupert Grint as the four central characters. The series is produced for Apple TV+ and debuted on November 28, 2019. The series has been met with positive reviews from critics. Ahead of the premiere, Apple renewed Servant for a second season, which premiered on January 15, 2021.[3] In December 2020, ahead of the second season premiere, the series was renewed for a third season.[4] The third season premiered on January 21, 2022.[5] In December 2021, ahead of the third season premiere, the series was renewed for a ten-episode fourth and final season.[6]

Premise [edit]

A wealthy Philadelphia couple, Dorothy and Sean Turner, experience a fracture in their marriage after the death of their thirteen-week-old son, Jericho. The couple undergo transitory object therapy using a lifelike reborn doll after Dorothy experiences a full psychotic break. The doll, which Dorothy believes is her real child, was the only thing that brought her out of a catatonic state following Jericho's death. Six weeks after his death, they hire a young nanny, Leanne Grayson, to move in and take care of Jericho, the reborn doll, opening their home to a "mysterious force".[7] While Sean deals with the grief on his own, he becomes deeply suspicious of Leanne.[8]

Production [edit]

Development [edit]

On February 27, 2018, it was announced that Apple Inc. had given the production a series order for a first season consisting of ten episodes. The series was created by Tony Basgallop who also wrote for the series and executive produced it alongside M. Night Shyamalan, Ashwin Rajan, Jason Blumenthal, Todd Black, and Steve Tisch. Production companies involved with the show include Blinding Edge Pictures, Escape Artists, and Dolphin Black Productions.[9] [10] [11] Mike Gioulakis served as the series' cinematographer.[12] On October 3, 2019, it was reported that the series was scheduled to be released on November 28, 2019.[13] Ahead of the series premiere, on November 22, 2019, it was announced that Apple had renewed the series for a second season which is set to premiere on January 15, 2021.[3] [14] On December 15, 2020, ahead of the second season premiere, Apple renewed the series for a third season.[4] On December 14, 2021, ahead of the third season premiere, Apple renewed the series for a fourth and final season.[6]

Shyamalan stated that he originally envisioned the series to stretch for 60 half-hour episodes, or six seasons, but he ultimately planned the show to be four seasons with 40 episodes in total.[15] [16]

Casting [edit]

On August 22, 2018, it was announced that Lauren Ambrose and Nell Tiger Free had been cast in leading roles.[8] On November 30, 2018, it was reported that Rupert Grint had joined the main cast.[17] On December 4, 2018, it was announced that Toby Kebbell had been cast in a starring role.[18] in December 2021, Sunita Mani was announced to be joining the cast.[19]

Filming [edit]

The first season of Servant was filmed in Philadelphia from November 2018 to March 2019. Exterior scenes took place in Philadelphia's Center City near Spruce and 21st Streets. A set for the interior of the Turner home was built in a former paint factory in Bethel Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania.[20] [21] Italian chef Marc Vetri served as a food consultant for the cooking scenes in season one.[15]

In March 2020, Apple TV+ shut down production of season two due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[22] In September 2020, production resumed to finish the four remaining episodes of season two.[23] Philadelphia chef Drew DiTomo was the food consultant for season two, spending many days making pizzas and teaching the cast to make the pizzas that served as the basis for Cheezus Crust, the fictional pizza delivery company that Sean and Dorothy created during the season.[24]

In February 2021, it was reported that production on season three had begun.[25]

In an interview with Backstage, Grint revealed that unlike many film and television productions, Servant is filmed chronologically, with the cast getting scripts as they film each episode, keeping them just as much a part of the mystery as the characters and viewers.[26]

Reportedly Apple CEO Tim Cook asked Shyamalan to not display crucifixes on the walls during filming.[27]

Release [edit]

The first season of Servant premiered on Apple TV+ on November 28, 2019, and ran for ten episodes until January 17, 2020. Ahead of the first season premiere, Apple renewed the show for a second ten-episode season, which premiered on January 15, 2021.[3] In December 2020, ahead of the second season premiere, the series was renewed for a third season.[4] The third season is scheduled to premiere on January 21, 2022.[5] In December 2021, ahead of the third season premiere, the series was renewed for a fourth and final season.[6]

Marketing [edit]

Coinciding with the finale episode of season two, and paying homage to Cheezus Crust, the fictional pizza business that Dorothy and Sean create in the season, Apple partnered with two pizza restaurants in Los Angeles to offer free pizza throughout the weekend.[28]

Reception [edit]

Critical response [edit]

For the first season, the review-aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reported an 84% approval rating with an average score of 7.2/10, based on 61 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "Though Servant 's slithering mystery often wanders into dark, crowded corners, its claustrophobic atmosphere and powerful performances build enough tension to keep viewers hooked."[29] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 64 out of 100 for the season, based on reviews from 20 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[30]

For the second season, Rotten Tomatoes reported an 88% approval rating with an average score of 7.6/10, based on 26 reviews. The site's critical consensus reads, "Servant 's second season serves up a solid—if not always convincing—set of thrills with a better grasp on its dark humor."[31] Metacritic assigned a score of 76 out of 100 based on nine critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[32]

For the third season, Rotten Tomatoes reported an 92% approval rating with an average score of 6.7/10, based on 12 reviews.[33] Metacritic assigned a score of 73 out of 100 based on four critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[34]

Author Stephen King has praised the series on multiple occasions, calling it "spooky as hell", "extremely creepy and totally involving."[35] [36] Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro has called it a beautifully crafted, elegant show which feels like a European slow burn. He also praised the surgical staging and camera work in the episodes directed by M. Night Shyamalan, as well as Rupert Grint's performance.[37]

Lawsuit [edit]

In January 2020, Francesca Gregorini filed a lawsuit against Servant producers including Tony Basgallop and M. Night Shyamalan, the production companies involved, and Apple TV+, alleging copyright infringement for her 2013 drama film, The Truth About Emanuel. The Truth About Emanuel is a psychological thriller in which a woman uses a lifelike doll to cope with the loss of her infant hiring a young girl as a nanny to take care of it.[47] Basgallop and Shyamalan responded that neither had seen her film and that any similarity is coincidence.[48] They go further in saying that Servant was in development before the creation of Gregorini's film.[47]

On May 28, 2020, a federal judge threw out the copyright lawsuit against Shyamalan and Apple, ruling that the TV show is not similar enough to the film to merit a lawsuit.[49] Gregorini responded that the, "ruling is disappointing, but not surprising", and that "the balance of power in the entertainment industry has always favored powerful men and institutions" after the suit was thrown out.[50] On July 21, 2020, the court ordered Gregorini to pay the defendants' attorneys' fees of $162,467. The court emphasized the objective unreasonableness of her claims.[51]

In February 2022, however, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit determined that the lawsuit was dismissed prematurely, as the discovery steps had not actually been carried out, ruling "'reasonable minds could differ' on whether the stories are substantially similar."[52]
