Outcast is an American horror drama television series based on the comics of the same name by Robert Kirkman and Paul Azaceta. A ten-episode first season debuted on Cinemax on June 3, 2016. It is a supernatural horror story that features people involved in demonic possession, and revolves around the life of Kyle Barnes, rejected by the people of Rome, West Virginia, alleged of hurting his wife and daughter.
On March 14, 2016, ahead of its premiere, Outcast was renewed for a second season.
Fox International Studios and Robert Kirkman developed the television show before the comic book was published. Cinemax picked up the US rights for the project after the script was done. The show is produced by Fox International Studios for Cinemax in the US and Fox international channels out side of the US. Robert Kirkman’s Skybound is also a producer on the show. Ten episodes were announced to be produced with lead cast Patrick Fugit as Kyle Barnes and Philip Glenister as Reverend Anderson for the television series along with Gabriel Bateman, while Adam Wingard was hired to direct the pilot produced by Fox International Channels. More cast was announced including David Denman as Mark Holter, Melinda McGraw as Patricia MacCready, Grace Zabriskie as Mildred, Catherine Dent as Janet Anderson, Lee Tergesen as Blake Morrow, and Brent Spiner.
On August 10, 2015, production began on the 10-episode series in South Carolina. The cities of York and Chester, South Carolina were transformed into the series' fictitious town of Rome, West Virginia.
