There will be no second season of The Outsider at HBO.
The premium cabler has canceled the series, which is based on Stephen King's novel.
Despite exhausting the source material during The Outsider Season 1, work had already begun on scripts for a second season, but HBO is not moving forward with it.
Deadline confirmed that HBO is not pursuing a second season, but there is a glimmer of hope.
The Outsider production company MRC is shopping the series to other outlets, meaning that it could pop up somewhere else down the line.
“We enjoyed our collaboration with [executive producers] Richard [Price], Jason [Bateman], Andrew [Bernstein] and the MRC team, and we wish them well in continuing the world created by the brilliant Stephen King,” HBO said in a statement to Deadline.

After months of silence, we now have confirmation about the future of HBO's The Outsider.
Stephen King has confirmed that The Outsider Season 2 is in the works and that he has already read some of the scripts.
In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, the writer of the novel the series is based on has said that the scripts are "really great" and that they have a "real spooky paranormal element."
King was speaking to the outlet about the character of Holly Gibney, who was played by Cynthia Erivo on The Outsider but was played by Justine Lupe on Mr. Mercedes.
King noted when asked who played the role better than Lupe had an unfair advantage because she got to play the role for three seasons.
"Cynthia may get that time, because there's going to be a second season of The Outsider as soon as they can get the production going.

HBO's TV adaptation of Stephen King novel The Outsider showcases a crime drama with a supernatural horror twist.
Stephen King’s novel The Outsider is becoming a drama series at HBO, which has given the adaptation a 10-episode order.
The story of The Outsider puts a mind-blowingly monstrous twist on traditional murder fiction. Here, police detective Ralph Anderson (Ben Mendelsohn) fields an investigation in the fictional Oklahoma town of Flint City that upends the local populace when a well-liked local man, Terry Maitland (Jason Bateman), is arrested for the shockingly malicious murder of an 11-year-old boy. While a mountain of evidence – including DNA and fingerprints – make the case seem open-and-shut, Maitland vehemently swears his innocence; an idea that gains momentum when his alibi – of being out of town at a conference – checks out, leading the investigation to a potentially supernatural turn.
Onboard as executive producers are Richard Price,...
