What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the HBO cable channel, The Outsider TV series stars Ben Mendelsohn, Cynthia Erivo, Bill Camp, Mare Winningham, Paddy Considine, Julianne Nicholson, Yul Vázquez, Jeremy Bobb, Marc Menchaca, and Jason Bateman. While police detective Ralph Anderson (Mendelsohn) and his wife (Winningham) are still grieving the recent death of his son, he sets out to investigate the mutilated body of an 11-year-old named Frankie Peterson who’s been found murdered in the woods of Georgia.

Telly’s Take
Will HBO cancel or renew The Outsider for season two? It feels like this show is a one-and-done season series with a natural conclusion. However, if the ratings are good enough, perhaps it will be renewed with a new case and/or a new cast. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.

How about more outsiders.Gid gid yeah.Did hassel live.Did ferrills allow his wife and baby on the mountain.No more brennin?Bring back this great show.
Yes absolutely love it! It has to come back for a second season !!!
I have been looking at the series while on the treadmill at the gym. The hour goes by quickly, but every day I say I am not looking at it again because it is so dark and depressing. But the following day I’m back. On the last episode and truthfully relieved. Sucker for punishment I guess.
Absolutely this show should be renewed!! WTF??! I have to know.. you can not leave us hanging like that…
Series of this caliber (True Detectives, The Killing, Fargo, etc) are so few and far between, intelligent viewers deserve a 3 season run at the very least! Come on man!!!
Yes, we need a season 2 of Outsider! What a wonderful show!!!
Of course ”The Outsider” should be renewed! The loose threads are still untied, nothing has been satisfactorily explained, not to mention it’s totally engrossing and has a terrific cast!
Jason Bateman? Stephen King?.. come ON HBO!!
I’m tired of investing hours in a gripping show only to find it ends abruptly and w/o resolution!
