The Outsider is an American psychological thriller-horror crime drama television series based on the 2018 novel of the same name by Stephen King, adapted for television by Richard Price. It was ordered to series on December 3, 2018,[1] after being optioned as a miniseries by MRC in June 2018.[2] It premiered on HBO on January 12, 2020.[3] It stars Ben Mendelsohn, Cynthia Erivo, Bill Camp, Paddy Considine, Julianne Nicholson, and Jason Bateman (who also directed the first two episodes).

In November 2020, HBO declined a second season, and production company MRC intended to shop the series to other outlets.[4] King said that scripts for a second season were written, and the cast and crew expressed interest in continuing the series.[5][6][7]
