Last year, ‘Outcast’, inspired by Robert Kirkman’s comic of the same name, premiered on Cinemax. As the season ended fans were left wanting more and have eagerly been awaiting the second season since. But it looks like they’ll be waiting a while longer. The premiere date has now been announced as July 2018.
Both Cinemax will be re-airing season one between now and next summer. It will also be added to HBO Go and HBO Now according to the series’ website.
Kary Antholis, president of HBO Miniseries had this to say:

I think the new season is very strong, and I hope it’s got a bit more fun and entertainment in it and is a step forward,” Antholis continued, “In success, we left open the possibility that we could have a conversation about figuring out a way to bring it back.”

To top off the series’ troubles, “The options for the cast have lapsed.” That means that the casts’ contracts have run out. It sounds like that season 2, whose trailer has already been released, maybe the show’s last.
This season we will be introduced to several new characters as well as see the return of several key characters this season. Patrick Fugit will return as the main character, Kyle Barnes, a single father who has a unique gift, the ability to force entities from their possessed hosts. Philip Glenister (Reverand Anderson), Wrenn Schmidt (Megan Holter) and Reg E. Cathey (Chief Giles) will reprise their roles along with others. Several new cast members for the new season. 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.  C. Thomas Howell has also joined the cast and will play a mysterious man with a dark agenda who arrives in Rome.
