When Does The Next Outsider Episode Come Out
Okay, let's cut to the chase. If you're here, you're probably thinking, "Alright, when do I get my next dose of that spooky, small-town mystery, The Outsider?" Well, here's the deal: you might be waiting a while.
The Current Situation: More Waiting Than Watching
There's no new episode of The Outsider coming out anytime soon. We're in a bit of a 'Will they? Won't they?' situation regarding a potential second season.
The first season wrapped up back in March 2020. Remember those days? Ah, simpler times, filled with only existential dread stemming from supernatural child murderers, not global pandemics.

Why the Hold Up?
Initially, HBO passed on a second season. Shocking, right? A show based on a Stephen King novel, with a stellar cast including Ben Mendelsohn and Cynthia Erivo? Seemed like a slam dunk.
But fear not, fellow fans! There's still a flicker of hope. After HBO declined, MRC (the production company) started shopping around for a new home for The Outsider season 2.
Think of it like this: The Outsider is that adorable puppy nobody wanted at first, but now everyone's realizing how awesome it is. There's a bidding war going on, hopefully!
So, What Does This Mean for Us?
Basically, patience is key. We're in limbo. No confirmed release date exists, because, as of right now, no official confirmation of where it will be aired exists.
Think of it like waiting for your pizza delivery. You're hungry, you're checking the app every five minutes, but all you can do is...wait.
Except instead of pizza, you're craving unsettling supernatural mysteries. Same thing, really.
While We Wait...
Here are a few things you can do to scratch that Outsider itch while we're all holding our breath:
- Re-watch season one. Seriously, it holds up. Pay attention to the details you missed the first time.
- Read the Stephen King novel it's based on. There's always more to discover in the source material.
- Check out other shows with a similar vibe. Think True Detective, The X-Files, or even Twin Peaks.
- Start a fan theory discussion online. Who do you think did it (besides the obvious shapeshifting monster)?
The Bottom Line
The next episode of The Outsider is currently stuck in development hell. But don't lose hope! The fact that MRC is actively seeking a new network is a good sign.
Stay tuned for updates. As soon as we hear anything concrete, you'll hear it here (or, you know, wherever you get your pop culture news from).
In the meantime, keep the faith, and maybe leave a light on. Just in case
"there's something in the woods."
