Full Trailer Released for Stephen King’s The Outsider TV Series

We’re still just over a month away from the debut of The Outsider television series on HBO, but today at least brought us an amazing new trailer for the series to hold us over until its premiere next year on January 12th. Check it out in the embedded video above!

The series is, of course, based on a 2018 bestselling novel by Stephen King, who seems to be completely on board with the direction the showrunners are taking with the series if a tweet he posted earlier today is any indication. See what the prolific author had to say about the new show below.

The series stars Ben Mendelsohn (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) as Ralph Anderson and Cynthia Erivo (Bad Times at the El Royale) as Holly Gibney. Richard Price serves as series writer and executive producer, along with director/executive producer Andrew Bernstein and director/producer Jack Bender (Mr. Mercedes), In addition to his duties as executive producer and in an undisclosed acting role, Jason Bateman (Arrested Development) will direct the first two episodes of the series.

Additional cast members include Bill Camp (12 Years a Slave, Jason Bourne) as Howie Gold, Mare Winningham (St. Elmo’s Fire) as Jeannie Anderson, Paddy Considine as Claude Bolton, Julianne Nicholson as Mercy Maitland, Yul Vasquez (Bad Boys II) as Yunis Sablo, Jeremy Bobb as Alec Pelley, and Marc Menchaca (Ozark) as Jack Hoskins. In recurring roles are Hettienne Park (Hannibal) as Tomica Collins, Michael Esper as Bill Samuels, Derek Cecil (House of Cards) as Andy Katcavage, and Max Beesley (Suits) as Seale Bolton.

The Outsider follows the investigation of the gruesome murder of a local boy and the mysterious force surrounding the case, with police detective Ralph Anderson searching for answers. The horrifying crime and his own personal difficulties lead him to enlist the help of unorthodox private investigator Holly Gibney, whose uncanny abilities may help explain the unexplainable.

As mentioned, the series will premiere on January 12th, 2020. Stay tuned to Dead Entertainment for news and updates on The Outsider TV series as well as all the latest in the world of Stephen King!
