We told you about it earlier this year and now the time has arrived for its premiere.
Outcast premieres on FOX on Friday, 3 June - the same day that it premieres in America BUT it's premiering everywhere sooner. So soon that it's happening tonight (20 May).
FOX will be uploading the pilot episode to Facebook tonight at 22h00 (CAT) so the first episode will air online before it hits TV. You'll be able to watch it here:
FOX Facebook screening.
In case you aren't familiar with the show yet... it's the latest creation from the creator of The Walking Dead, Robert Kirkman. It's based on the comic book of the same name with artwork by Paul Azaceta and it tells the story of Kyle Barnes, played by Patrick Fugit (Almost Famous, Gone Girl).
Kyle is a man possessed. All of his loved ones are supernaturally possessed and he's been plagued by demonic possession since he was a child. As an adult he meets Reverend Anderson (played by Philip Glenister of Life on Mars), a country preacher with personal demons of his own.
Kyle and the good Reverend embark on a journey to find answers so that Kyle can live a normal life that he's never known but what he discovers could impact on the fate of the world, forever.

Flash facts:
- It's already been renewed for Season 2.
- Fox International Studios and Robert Kirkman developed the show before the comic book was published and its airing on Cinemax in the US instead of FOX. Cinemax bought the American rights for it after the script was done.
- FOX is the first broadcaster in Europe and Africa to showcase a new drama on Facebook Live. It's happening on the network's Facebook pages in 61 countries.
