Cinemax is set to debut the dramatic series Outcast on June 3, 2016 starring Patrick Fugit (Gone Girl), Philip Glenister (Life on Mars), and Gabriel Bateman (Stalker). The Walking Dead‘s Robert Kirkman wrote the Skybound/Image comic the show is based on and created the series. Kirkman also serves as an executive producer along with Outcast‘s showrunner Chris Black, David Alpert, Sharon Tal Yguado, and Sue Naegle. Cinemax will be airing the 10 episode season one on Fridays at 10pm ET/PT and has already greenlit season two.

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.”


The Plot: Kyle Barnes has been plagued by demonic possession all his life. Now, with the help of the Reverend Anderson, a preacher who has personal demons of his own, the young man 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.

The Characters: Patrick Fugit stars as Barnes, a man searching for answers, and redemption, who sequesters himself from those he loves for fear of causing greater hurt. Philip Glenister stars as Reverend Anderson, a West Virginia evangelist who believes he is a soldier in God’s holy war against the forces of evil on Earth. An inveterate drinker and gambler, he doesn’t believe God intends people to sweat the small stuff. Gabriel Bateman stars as Joshua Austin, an eight-year-old who lives across town from Kyle. To his family’s dismay, he appears to be in the clutches of demonic possession, but there’s something very different about this possession and its connection to Kyle Barnes.

The cast also includes Wrenn Schmidt as Kyle’s adopted sister, Megan Holter, a child psychologist who makes it her mission to fix the people around her; Reg E. Cathey as Rome’s Chief of Police, Chief Giles, who has seen enough to know there’s some truth to his friend Rev. Anderson’s assertions about demons; Kate Lyn Sheil as Kyle’s former wife, Allison Barnes, who has lingering doubts about what happened in their marriage; Julia Crockett as Kyle’s mother, Sarah Barnes, whose apparent mental illness tainted his childhood; David Denman as Megan’s husband, Mark Holter, a by-the-book small town cop whose temper can get him in trouble; and Brent Spiner as Sidney, whose dapper appearance and smiling demeanor hide malevolence.
