Renewed: Outcast

Upcoming US series Outcast has been renewed for a second season, before its first even premieres.

The horror series produced by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman and Chris Black is based on the a comic created by Kirkman, featuring Patrick Fugit as a young man who has been plagued by possession since he was a child. It will debut in June.

“Outcast has been a passion project of mine for many years,” said Kirkman. “Seeing it come together has been a huge thrill for me. What we’ve been able to achieve on Cinemax, with its unprecedented creative freedom, frankly, almost scares me at times.”

“Going into the first season of Outcast, we knew that Robert Kirkman had once again created a world that would scare us to our core,” said Kary Antholis, president, of Original Programming at Cinemax. “But what he, Chris Black and the rest of their team have delivered has exceeded even those high expectations. We believe our viewers will immediately be sucked into Outcast‘s intense and creepy landscape, which is why we have chosen to pick up a second season.”

It will air in Australia on FX.
