The Outsider (2020) is a gripping American television series that combines elements of psychological thriller, horror, and crime drama. Adapted by Richard Price from Stephen King’s 2018 novel of the same name, it was picked up for a full series by HBO on December 3, 2018, following its optioning as a miniseries by MRC in June of the same year. Starring talented actors including Ben Mendelsohn, Cynthia Erivo, Bill Camp, Paddy Considine, Julianne Nicholson, and Jason Bateman (who also serves as director for the first two episodes), the highly-anticipated show premiered on January 12, 2020.
In the midst of a football game at the stadium, authorities apprehended Terry Maitland, the coach of the junior national team. He was suspected of murdering Frank Peterson, a teenager whose dismembered remains were discovered the previous day. The investigation is being led by Detective Ralph Anderson, who has uncovered evidence that disproves Terry’s involvement. Although Terry’s fingerprints were found on the victim’s body, security footage shows him being one hundred kilometers away from the crime scene. Despite this conflicting evidence, the accused maintains his innocence. This has left both the prosecutor and defense with compelling but contradictory information, which has caused confusion in the case.
