Outlast season 2 is officially out! Jason Bateman is executively producing the Alaskan wilderness series, baffling fans who keep noticing him in the credits and wondering if it’s *the* official actor.
Sixteen survivalists compete for a chance to win a cash prize in the Alaskan wilderness on Netflix‘s Outlast. Season two is now bringing back OG contestants, as well as adding new feisty competitors.
Jason Bateman produces Outlast
Jason Bateman, known for shows like Ozark and Arrested Development, is the producer behind Outlast seasons 1 and 2. First batch of season 2 episodes drop on September 4, with more on September 11.
Players can can quit anytime by shooting a flare into the sky, while the object of the game – using Bateman’s creative mind – is for your team to survive the longest, and then to win a final challenge.
Aggregate Films, Inc, is the production team behind Outlast, and is owned by the actor. The firm he founded, with partner Michael Costigan, has a first-look deal with Netflix.
Actor promises ‘wildest turns’
When season 1 of Outlast came out, Bateman promoted it and promised “wildest turns”. However, since season 2 came out, he’s kept his lips pretty sealed and hasn’t shared it on X.
The actor promised “a survival competition like you’ve never seen before”. It’s not the only show he’s created on the platform, as Black Rabbit – a new limited series – is produced by Bateman and Jude Law.
Netflix fans baffled it’s the actor
When Outlast viewers spotted Jason Bateman in the credits, they didn’t really think it was the real actor. However, once they found out it’s really him, they either applauded or slammed the series.
One fan wrote, “Jason Bateman- Producer, Did anyone else catch this? is it really the actor Jason Bateman?” Another said, “I really like Jason Bateman but this show didn’t make me feel inspired.”
“Watching s2 and just verified he is!! So cool I’ve been watching him since the 80s since Hogan family and arrested development. Overall well rounded actor. Outlast excellent dramatic survival show,” said a fan.
