Earlier today we provided you with a look at the upcoming Season 1 finale of “Outcast” on Cinemax, but the powers-that-be are already looking ahead to Season 2, which has begun production in South Carolina. Up now is some casting news about three new characters.
Per Deadline, M.C. Gainey (Django Unchained), Madelyn Deutch (“Texas Rising”), and Hoon Lee (“Banshee”) (pictured below L-R) have joined the Season 2 cast of Cinemax’s exorcism drama from The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman and Chris Black that stars Patrick Fugit as Kyle Barnes and Philip Glenister as Reverend Anderson.
Gainey will play Bob, a hermit who operates the junkyard on the edge of Rome. His brooding and eccentric demeanor conceals ties to Rome’s dark past.
Deutch’s role is that of Dakota, a free spirit who embraces an unconventional form of Christianity. Her perspective clashes with Reverend Anderson’s — and she ultimately reveals a knowledge of what it is that has befallen Rome.
Lastly, Lee will portray Dr. Kenneth Park, Chief of Staff and an accomplished surgeon at Rome’s hospital. It turns out Dr. Park has his own cryptic agenda concerning Kyle.
David Alpert, Sharon Tal Yguado, Sue Naegle, Howard Deutch (Madelyn’s father), and Adam Targum executive produce with Black and Kirkman. Fox International Studios (a unit of Fox International Channels) is the studio.
