AncalagonTheBlack Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Quote The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman is expanding his TV universe to the world of exorcisms. Following a multiple cable network bidding war, Cinemax has landed Outcast, a drama based on Kirkman's upcoming Image/Skybound comic of the same name, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The cable network has given a script commitment with large penalty to the project. The comic and potential series centers on Kyle Barnes, who has been plagued by possession since he was a child. Now an adult, he embarks on a spiritual journey to find answers, but what he uncovers could mean the end of life on Earth as we know it. Kirkman will pen the script and executive produce alongside David Alpert (The Walking Dead). For Cinemax, Outcast comes as HBO's sibling network continues to build its original scripted roster. In addition to the second season of Banshee and fourth and final season of its first original primetime series, Strike Back, the cable network also has Steven Soderbergh's Clive Owen original drama The Knick set for 2014. On the development side, Cinemax is prepping drama pilot Quarry. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/robert-kirkmans-exorcism-drama-outcast-638909 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kissdbyfire Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 So, thought I'd bump this. Anyone watching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red snow Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 The comic is slow and given Walking Dead's pace, I decided to stock-pile before giving it a try. Any good? The comic felt a bit like "The exorcist" but with American characters from a small town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I liked the two eps I watched. Patrick Fugit is excellent, and the cast is overall very good. The two eps I watched were a bit slow but not boring. I'm at least curious to see where it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
