Ben Mendelsohn and Jason Bateman star in HBO‘s “The Outsider,” an adaptation of Stephen King‘s same-titled novel that has been set to premiere on January 12, 2020.
The 10-episode series follows police detective Ralph Anderson (Mendelsohn), as he sets out to investigate the mutilated body of 11-year-old Frankie Peterson found in the Georgia woods.
The mysterious circumstances surrounding this horrifying crime leads Ralph, still grieving the recent death of his own son, to bring in unorthodox private investigator Holly Gibney (Cynthia Erivo), whose uncanny abilities he hopes will help explain the unexplainable.
