The official announcement about the release of a series of comic books was made in October of 2013 at New York Comic Con. The comic book series has passed throw 2 years development. The author noted that it was the first project he started writing having a clear idea in mind of what he was going to create from the very beginning until the very end. He described his story as really epic and scaring. It has nothing to do with the style of well-known The Walking Dead.
The rights for the production of the TV show were received in 2013. The first ten episodes were filmed with Patrick Fugit and Philip Glenister in the cast acting as Kyle Barnes and Reverend Anderson. The series premiered in 2016 and is planned to be continued in 2017.
Reception
This series is perfect for the lovers of horrors. This show has nothing in common in comparison to one of the most successful projects of Kirkman known as The Walking Dead. You can’t clearly see the threat in the Outcast series.
2nd Season Air Date
In spring of 2016, Outcast was prolonged for season 2 right before the release of the first season. We will share more info on Kirkman’s Outcast when further plans of the channel are announced.
