Created and co-executive produced by Robert Kirkman ("The Walking Dead"), the drama series "Outcast" stars Patrick Fugit ("Gone Girl") as Kyle Barnes, a man who has been possessed by demons since he was young. His search for answers -- and redemption -- leads him into a relationship with Reverend Anderson, a West Virginia evangelist who believes he is fighting in a holy war against Earth's evil forces. As Barnes sequesters himself from those he loves for fear of causing greater hurt, he begins to delve into secrets from his past. What he discovers could be life-changing -- and affect the fate of the world forever.

Nick Schager The Daily Beast 06/16/2016
After a sterling first installment, Outcast-enhanced by a foreboding industrial score by Atticus Ross... slows down its pace and more evenly divides its time between various points of interest. Go to Full Review Rebecca Hawkes Daily Telegraph (UK) 06/08/2016
3/5
Outcast failed to live up to its promise. Its scenes of demonic possession and its attempts to be frightening -- the super-strength and the projectile vomiting -- felt incredibly tired. Go to Full Review Kyle Fowle AV Club 06/06/2016
A-
This is a show about demons and monsters, but it's more about Kyle's mental state, and the ghosts (physical and metaphorical) that haunt Rome and the people that reside there, meaning that we get little snapshots of what everyone is hiding. Go to Full Review Peter Counter That Shelf 08/13/2024
Outcast is premium mythology based horror, driven by characters and spiced up with just enough pulp to get away with any tropes it has to employ. Go to Full Review Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) 07/11/2018
The series takes exorcisms and possessions to the small screen and does it with a promising start and with a child who sure elicits fear. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Nick Venable CinemaBlend 06/23/2018
Simply put, Outcast is great horror television, regardless of how you feel about creator Robert Kirkman or that other show of his, The Walking Dead. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Mela P 03/13/2023 This could very well be a Stephen King adaptation. The mood, the slow build up and interesting character details are really great. See more Smiling D 03/11/2023 I thought it was a chaotically organized show. I love survival shows however, this was ridiculously immature and seething anger and drama. It's like they picked these people from a recovering rehab center before they finished the program. Jerry Springer in the wild. OMG, girl scouts could have performed better. See more steve d 07/26/2020 It couldn't sustain its story, or make me care about it's characters for an entire season. See more 06/22/2019 This show is AMAZING, i cried through every episode of season 1. Its sad, thought-provoking, AND SCARY. Even if youre not a religious person its going to give you chills and give you curiosity... See more 07/26/2018 This is the only reason i have cinemax.
