Cinemax renews Robert Kirkman’s Outcast 3 months before it airs
Cinemax is really banking on The Walking Dead’s Robert Kirkman not being a one-hit wonder in the world of TV. The premium cable network’s adaptation of his Outcast comic book series (which features art from Paul Azaceta) isn’t set to premiere until June 3, but Cinemax has already picked it up for another season. Giving a show two seasons before it even airs isn’t that unusual (Netflix does it a lot), but the fact that Cinemax is renewing Outcast now and not a few months ago or a few months in the future makes it seem like it’s pretty confident in the series.
