Video Interview with Outcast’s David Alpert

NEW YORK: David Alpert, the president of Skybound and executive producer of The Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead and Outcast, among other projects, sat down with TV Drama to discuss horror on TV, working with FIC and more.

In 2010, with its landmark deal with AMC to take on all international rights to The Walking Dead, FOX International Channels (FIC) made clear that it had aggressive ambitions when it came to landing top-notch, premium content for its global network. The zombie drama, based on Robert Kirkman’s graphic novels, has been a huge hit for the pay-TV powerhouse, airing day and date with the U.S. in 120-plus markets. When FIC decided it was going to start developing its own IP, it’s no surprise it turned to Skybound Entertainment, the venture founded by Kirkman and David Alpert, for original ideas. Outcast is the first show to come out of the newly launched FOX International Studios (FIS). It stars Patrick Fugit as a man struggling with demonic possession and is slated to air on FIC’s global network next year, with a U.S. slot on Cinemax.
