HBO’s killer adaptation of Stephen King’s The Outsider debuted earlier this year. And while HBO hasn’t confirmed season two, King himself just let slip a second season will begin shooting ASAP with a real spooky paranormal element.
King tells EW: “… There’s going to be a second season of The Outsider as soon as they can get the production going… I know exactly where it’s going because I have seen some of the scripts. I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you. I’ll just say that it’s really great and a real spooky paranormal element.”
The first season stars Ben Mendelsohn and Cynthia Erivo with Bill Camp, Mare Winningham, Paddy Considine, Julianne Nicholson, and Jason Bateman.
The ten-episode season is written by Richard Price, Jessie Nickson-Lopez, and Dennis Lehane. Mendelsohn produced while Bateman was an executive producer alongside Richard Price, Michael Costigan, Marty Bowen, and Jack Bender.
The Outsider begins when an eleven-year-old boy’s corpse is found in a park. Eyewitnesses and fingerprints point to one of Flint City’s most popular citizens. He is Terry Maitland, Little League coach, English teacher, husband, and father of two girls. Detective Ralph Anderson, whose son Maitland once coached, orders a quick and very public arrest. Maitland has an alibi, but Anderson and the district attorney soon add DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. But as the investigation expands and answers begin to emerge we’re left to wonder, while he seems like a nice guy, is he wearing another face? The answer will shock you.
