 Having learned its lesson with Big Little Lies, HBO intentionally never billed The Outsider as a limited series event, leaving the door open for a second season that could extend the narrative beyond Stephen King's novel. Richard Price had already begun work on the scripts for season two, which seemed inevitable based on the largely positive response to the first installment—and Cynthia Erivo's portrayal of Holly Gibney, in particular. Unfortunately, Deadline reports that HBO has canceled on The Outsider, which may find new life on another network as production company MRC is shopping the series elsewhere.
