Created by Tony Basgallop and executive produced by director M. Night Shyamalan, “Servant” stars Lauren Ambrose and Toby Kebbell as Dorothy and Sean Turner, a married couple reeling from the death of their infant son Jericho, which left Dorothy in a catatonic state. In an effort to help his wife heal, Sean begins transitory object therapy with a lifelike “reborn” doll, and the two hire a nanny, Leanne (Nell Tiger Free), to move in and look after the “baby.” But when Sean and Dorothy’s brother Julian (Rupert Grint) grows suspicious of the seemingly supernatural Leanne, they stumble upon a bizarre conspiracy involving a cult with its own agenda involving the family.
Season 4 picks up after the events of the third season, in which Leanne kidnapped Jericho — now mysteriously a living child — from the Turner’s home, and Dorothy fell into a coma. As Sean and Julian attempt to care for Dorothy, Leanne begins a war against the cult, the Church of Lesser Saints, which balloons into a conflict that threatens the Turners, their neighborhood, and the city of Philadelphia.
