World's Most Evil Prisoners Gets Ten-Episode Fourth Season at Radial
World's Most Evil Prisoners will return for a ten-episode fourth season as a Radial Entertainment original, meaning Radial commissions the run and shows it first. UK producer Woodcut Media is making the season. Production began in September for a planned 2027 premiere, according to Deadline.
Season 4 will be available exclusively on Radial in the United States, Canada, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, meaning viewers in those five countries will only find it there. Seasons 1 to 3 are already on Radial's free-streaming services, which viewers can watch free with adverts. That keeps the whole run in one place for people catching up before the new episodes arrive.
Outside those markets, Woodcut International will sell the new season to other broadcasters and platforms. Sales will start at MIPCOM Cannes, the international TV market where buyers shop for finished shows and new formats and organise their schedules. The split gives Radial a clear home in its core territories while leaving the rest of the world open.
The deal was negotiated by Katie Carroll for Radial Entertainment and Koulla Anastasi for Woodcut International. Radial, which is backed by funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, says its library holds more than 75,000 films and episodes. The Prisoners series sits inside its wider World's Most Evil franchise, which runs on Radial.
That franchise keeps expanding. Radial previously secured all 10 seasons of World's Most Evil Killers, taking that series to 200 episodes including 40 new episodes, Variety reported in May. Each of the two newest Killers seasons runs to 20 hour-long episodes from Woodcut Media. Radial and Woodcut have also announced the true-crime programme World's Most Evil Women for the FilmRise channel in the US and Canada, while Woodcut lists three seasons of World's Most Dangerous Prisoners in its catalogue.
For fans, this means no hunt across services. The early seasons are waiting on Radial now, and ten new episodes follow in 2027. Production is already under way.
