You did n’t thinkHBOwas going to just sit back and letthe raging river of Stephen King adaptationspass it by , did you ?
The web ’s adaptation of King ’s 2018 novel The Outsider just dropped its first teaser , and along with a glimpse of its incredible cast ( Ben Mendelsohn , Jason Bateman , Cynthia Erivo ) we get a gustatory sensation of the high - visibility child slaying case that ’ll bedevil Mendelsohn ’s Georgia cop .
There are definite True Detective vibration here , but the unexplainable aspect of the crime , along with Erivo ’s character , deeply nonrational individual investigator Holly Gibney — who also seem in Mr. Mercedes , albeit played by a different worker — take care to lend the 10 - episode tale a bit of supernatural tone , too .
