While HBO hasn’t officially announced it, author Stephen King has confirmed that a second season of the network’s Ben Mendelsohn and Cynthia Erivo-led adaptation of his novel “The Outsider” is in the works. King tells EW that “there’s going to be a second season of The Outsider as soon as they can get the production going.”
He also says he’s seen some of the scripts and a second season won’t use his “If It Bleeds” follow-up short story as the world showrunner Richard Price made with the HBO series prevents it. However of what he has seen, he says it’s “really great and [has] a real spooky paranormal element.”
That’s not the only renewal talk today. Showtime has renewed its dramedy series “Black Monday” for a third season of ten episodes with production scheduled to commence early next year. Don Cheadle, Andrew Rannells, Regina Hall, and Paul Scheer star and are all expected to return in the financial world-set series.
TBS has officially renewed Tracy Morgan and Jordan Peele’s hit comedy series “The Last O.G”. for a fourth season and writer-comedian Owen Smith (“black-ish”) will be taking over from Keenan Ivory Waynes as the series’ new showrunner. This renewal comes after over four months since the third season aired.
Finally, HBO Max’s non-scripted crafting competition series “Craftopia” has been renewed for a second season. The streamer has ordered eight-part series “Craftopia: Holiday Showdown,” which will feature adult contestants for the first time. The first season featured children up to 15 competing to win craft challenges.
