Will There Be The Outsider Season 2?


In fact, The Outsider showrunner Richard Price has all but confirmed that a second season of the show is likely. 

Price told Indiewire in January that he was already working on a second season, saying “It’s like pulling a rabbit out of a glass hat — of course there will be another (if HBO wants one). There’s no such thing as a series that, if it does well, they’re not going to want a second season.”

Price (who also produced The Night Of for HBO) is speaking the truth of the matter. When something is successful, networks tend to want more of it. Thus far, HBO’s restraint on not calling for a Watchmen season 2 without initial showrunner Damon Lindelof’s involvement is extremely atypical. If the producer of The Outsider is down for more episodes, then HBO almost certainly will be too. It pays to be in the Stephen King business, especially when it’s in a King property that seamlessly blends horror and true crime like this one does. 

The Outsider finale, titled “Must/Can’t” is both satisfyingly conclusive and open-ended. Ralph Anderson and Holly Gibney successfully take down the monster known as El Coco. But a post-credit scene reveals that Holly may have been infected by the monster, which could herald its return in some capacity. 

If The Outsider really does want to find out what else is out there, a second season seems to be a real possibility.
