Cinemax is offering up the first episode of their new drama series Outcast two weeks before the scheduled premiere date of the series. The pilot episode is available to stream for free on YouTube, watchoutcast.com, and Facebook. It’s also available On Demand and via Max GO and HBO Go to HBO and Cinemax subscribers.

The exorcism drama was created by The Walking Dead‘s Robert Kirkman and will officially debut on June 3, 2016 at 10pm ET/PT.

Outcast stars Patrick Fugit, Philip Glenister, Gabriel Bateman, Wrenn Schmidt, Reg E. Cathey, Kate Lyn Sheil, Julia Crockett, David Denman, and Brent Spiner. Kirkman, Chris Black, David Alpert, Sharon Tal Yguado, and Sue Naegle executive produce, with Black also serving as showrunner. The Guest‘s Adam Wingard directed the pilot.

The Plot: Based on the Skybound/Image comic title by Kirkman and artist Paul Azaceta, Outcast stars Patrick Fugit as Kyle Barnes, who has been plagued by demonic possession all his life and has sequestered himself from those he loves for fear of causing greater hurt. Now, with the help of Reverand Anderson (Glenister), a West Virginia evangelist who believes he is a soldier in God’s holy war against the forces of evil on Earth, 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.
