HBO have dropped the trailer for the upcoming limited series adapting Stephen King’s The Outsider and it looks great.
The series, like the book, will see Terry Maitland, played by Jason Baitman, accused of the horrific murder of a boy with witnesses identifying him as the killer… however, it couldn’t have been him as he was already seen somewhere else at the same time. This leads to a dark, thrilling and frightning tale that, despite a disappointing ending, is vintage King.
Based on the best-selling novel by Stephen King, The Outsider premieres January 12 on HBO.
The 10-episode series follows police detective Ralph Anderson (Ben 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.
The cast includes Ben Mendelsohn, Cynthia Erivo, Jason Bateman, Bill Camp, Mare Winningham, Paddy Considine, Julianne Nicholson, Yul Vázquez, Jeremy Bobb and Marc Menchaca.
The series will premiere on January 12, 2020
