Insights into From Season 3 finale's tribute to Jill Green

According to The Direct, Green is likely Jack Bender's late elder sister. He has directed almost 16 episodes of the famous horror series. On 25 March 2025, Jack took to Instagram to announce her passing via a post that he captioned:

Jill Green was an anti-Trump veteran teacher

Jill was a veteran teacher and a critic of Donald Trump. In a bid to end mass school shootings, in February 2018, Trump proposed arming up to 20% of teachers with concealed firearms and additional training, claiming they “could end the attack very quickly” and that “gun‑free zones” are magnets for shooters.

A video posted on Instagram by user @mamasleche in May 2018, shows Jill protesting against what Trump said. While speaking to reporters, she said,

Teachers need to teach. They do not need guns.

Debunking rumours that the tribute was for film producer Jill Green

After the episode, speculations swirled that the person referred to in the tribute was the founder of Eleventh Hour Films and wife to Anthony Horowitz, Jill Green. At the time, she had partnered with MGM+ for the thriller TV series Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue.

Her possible connection to From was established since MGM+ also produced the show. However, because tributes are essentially for people who have passed on, the theory seems invalid since Jill Green Horowitz is still alive.
