In season 2, Kyle will continue to seek out answers about himself, why those around him are being possessed and why the residents of his small town are being taken over.

‘Outcast’ has already added three new cast members for next year. M.C. Gainey (Django Unchained) has signed on to play the role of Bob, a hermit who owns a junkyard at the edge of town. He is brooding and a bit eccentric and hides his ties to Rome’s dark past. Madelyn Deutch (Texas Rising) will co-star as Dakota, a free spirit who embraces  an unconventional form of Christianity and an understanding of what is really happening in the small town. The third to join the new season is ‘Banshee’s’ Hoon Lee. Lee will portray Dr. Kenneth Park, a surgeon at the local hospital. Dr. Park has a mysterious interest in Kyle.

‘Outcast’ is one of those rare series that don’t fall short of the graphic novel it’s based on. The series is dark, surprising, extremely well written and the cast is amazing. If you haven’t seen it, you should do so immediately.
