Outside Cast & Character Guide

Netflix’s Outside is a post-apocalyptic horror film centered around the Abel family, and its ensemble boasts a variety of talented actors. The Abel family is composed of Francis, his wife Iris, and their two children, Joshua and Lucas, and the film follows them as they try to flee a zombie outbreak infesting their city. They retreat to Francis’s childhood farmhouse, resulting in all sorts of family drama, from uncovered childhood trauma to wild marital issues. By Outside’s ending, no character is the same, with the talented cast fully flexing their chops with their dynamic portrayals.

Outside is directed by Carlo Ledesma, a Filipino filmmaker known for his work on low-budget horror films like The Tunnel and Sunod. With its Netflix release as a horror film around the Halloween season, Outside is the director’s most prominent movie yet, and it will undoubtedly reach the most expansive audience pool. Most of the cast will be fresh faces for American audiences, allowing for an authentic relationship with the Abel family and some exciting actors to follow in future projects.
