Outlandish (TV series)

Outlandish is an American fantasy drama television series that premiered on September 25, 2043, on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC). The fictional series stars Evan Peters as Charles Cowell, a drug junkie who plans to escape from law enforcement by going under a new identity as Dr. Evan Marshall. His partner, Nick Hanterfield (Ezra Miller), promised him a new identity and a new life, free from worry that the DEA is going to arrest him. Unfortunately, they picked the town of Coalfell, a mysterious little place with even odder inhabitants. The townspeople who live there heavily distrust outsiders. Many people disappeared mysteriously around the forests surrounding the towns. Many people claimed to have encountered everything from werewolves to aliens, from sasquatches to lizard people. At first, these two men dismissed these sightings as just kooky nonsense. However, they will soon learn that these legends are much more truth than fiction around these here parts.

Premise
Charles Cowell is a drug addict. Everyone knows that, even his parents. Unfortunately, no matter how much he is sent to therapy, he has always found himself back to doing drugs. Not helping matters is his very best friend Nick Hanterfield, who is the person who supplied him with the drugs. However, soon enough the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) caught wind of Nick's operations and the two friends hightailed out of California. Nick chose to go into hiding under assumed names back in his home state of Wisconsin. Randomly picking a town to stay in, for the time being, the two chose Coalfell. Coalfell, a small town with a sizable population, seems just like your typical sleepy Midwestern American town. It is, however, anything but that, as the relatives of the hundreds of people missing around these parts can attest. There have been many sightings of many odd and mysterious things, from unicorns to hodags, from bigfoots to UFOs that are concentrated around these parts. These two at first dismiss these sightings as kooky nonsense.

However, when a mysterious man named Brent Scottsdale showed up at their doorstep claiming that he knows something about Charles' past that not even Charles knows, the two men were brought into a terrifying new reality, as they discover that every creature, every god and goddess, and every being unexplained by science dreamed up by the human imagination is very much real, and Charles is somehow responsible for their existence in the real world.
