The second season of Robert Kirkman’s comic-turned-show Outcast is finally making its way to the U.S. on Friday July 20th, 2018. The Cinemax show follows Kyle Barnes (played by Patrick Fugit), a man plagued by demons since he was a child. In season one Kyle returns to his hometown of Rome, West Virginia where demons have infected the people and seemingly only he has a way of exorcising them. And now, the story continues into a rich second season.
Kary Ahtolis, president of HBO Miniseries and Cinemax Programming recently told Deadline, “We’re trying to give it its best platform. Ramping up our new slate of shows, and all the promotion that’s going into it, hopefully, will give it a runway.” To prove it, the first season of Outcast will re-air on Cinemax and be made available on HBO Go and HBO Now leading to the second season.
“I think the new season is very strong, and I hope it’s got a bit more fun and entertainment in it, and is a step forward,” Antholis said. “In success, we left open the possibility that we could have a conversation about figuring out a way to bring it back.” Watch the trailer for Season 2 and catch the synopses below:
