Principal photography has begun in South Carolina on Robert Kirkman’s upcoming exorcism drama “Outcast,” produced for Cinemax by FOX International Studios (FIS), and we also have six new cast members to share.
David Denman (13 Hours), Melinda McGraw (“The X Files,” “Mad Men”), Grace Zabriskie (“The Killing”), Catherine Dent (“The Shield,” “Astronaut Wives Club”), Brent Spiner (“Star Trek: Next Generation”), and Lee Tergesen (“The Americans,” “The Get Down”) have been cast opposite Patrick Fugit, Wrenn Schmidt, Philip Glenister, and Reg E. Cathey.
“Outcast,” the TV adaptation of Kirkman/Skybound’s comic book by the same name, was developed by FIS and was picked up to series by Cinemax in the U.S. and by FOX International Channels (FIC) outside the US earlier this year. The series follows Kyle Barnes (Fugit), a young man who has been plagued by possession since he was a child. Now an adult, he embarks on a journey to find answers, but what he uncovers could change life on Earth as we know it.
Here are the details of the newly announced characters:
“Outcast” is expected to premiere day & date on Cinemax in the U.S. and across FIC’s FOX-branded entertainment channels in over 125 countries worldwide in 2016. The series is executive produced by Chris Black, Robert Kirkman, David Alpert, Sharon Tal Yguado, and Sue Naegle.
