Evil is a series about the battle between science and religion. It focuses on Kristen Benoist (Herbers), a skeptical female clinical psychologist who joins David Dacosta (Colter), a Catholic priest-in-training, and a blue-collar contractor as they investigate supposed miracles, demonic possessions, and other extraordinary occurrences to see if there’s a scientific explanation or if something truly supernatural is at work.

Colter’s Dacosta is tasked by the Church to assess unexplained phenomena to see if there is a supernatural or scientific explanation.

Colter previously starred in the titular role on the recently canceled Marvel’s Luke Cage for Netflix. His credits also include Extinction, The Good Wife, The Defenders, Jessica Jones, Agent X, and The Following.
