Ready for the BBC’s new, expensive science fiction drama, Outcasts? We can now confirm when to expect it…
As we noted in the spoiler-free review of the opening episode of the BBC's Outcasts, this is a show that might just be a tough sell. It tells the story of survivors of the planet Earth, as the few who made it from the planet settle on the gloomy world of Carpathia. And we wondered, as we watched the opening episode, what tricks the BBC would employ to get people back for episode two, after such a downbeat episode one?
Now we know the answer. For the BBC is really giving Outcasts a push, not only confirming that it'll be debuting on BBC One on Monday 7th February at 9pm, but also revealed that the second episode will be going out a day later, on Tuesday 8th February
This is a bold and confident move for the show, and we hope it works. There are the building blocks of something really quite interesting in Outcasts, and we suspect it needs an episode or two to warm up.
We'll have reviews of the show as it airs, starting next week.
