Robert Kirkman’s exorcism drama Outcast gets series order from Cinemax

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Robert Kirkman’s is going from flesh-eating ghouls to unholy spirits with “Outcast”, which just received a 10-episode series order from Cinemax. The drama, which focuses on a man plagued by possession, is based on a comic by Kirkman, who serves as executive producer alongside Black, David Alpert of Circle of Confusion, Sharon Tal Yguado of FIC and Sue Naegle.

“Outcast” stars Patrick Fugit, Kip Pardue, Reg. E. Cathy, Philip Glenister, Julia Crockett, Allison Barnes, and Wrenn Schmidt have all been added to the pilot, which Cinemax is producing.

OUTCAST tells the story of Kyle Barnes (Fugit), who has been plagued by possession since he was a child. Now, with the help of the Reverend Anderson (Philip Glenister), a preacher with personal demons of his own, Kyle embarks on a journey to find answers and regain the normal life he lost. But what Kyle discovers could change his fate — and the fate of the world — forever.

Still no word on when we’ll actually get to see “Outcast,” but we’ll keep you in the loop!
