One series that’s been falling way under the radar these last few years is Cinemax’s “Outcast,“ from “The Walking Dead” creator Robert Kirkman. We rarely heard much of anything about the show, and it seemed like nobody was really even watching. I guess what we’re saying is, it comes as no big surprise that Cinemax has pulled the plug after two seasons.
Deadline lets us know today that Season 2 will be the last for “Outcast.”
“There are no further plans for Outcast at this time,” said a Cinemax spokesperson.
The site notes, “Outcast had been on the back burner at Cinemax, with its second season finally airing this summer, two and a half years after it was ordered and about two years after it was produced. The options on the cast have long lapsed, and everyone had moved on.”
Season 2 aired this past Summer, premiering on July 20.
Created and executive produced by Kirkman, “Outcast” explored how people cope with extreme circumstances while protecting the ones they love. Patrick Fugit starred as Kyle Barnes, a young man who has been plagued by demonic possession all his life. With the help of Reverend Anderson, played by Philip Glenister, a preacher who believes he is a soldier in God’s holy war against the forces of evil, Kyle tries to protect those he holds most dear, now that the otherworldly threats prove greater in scope and number than anticipated.
