"Kristin Kreuk is a tremendous force both on-screen and behind the camera on 'Burden of Truth,'" commented Stuart Baxter, President, of International Distribution, eOne. "This series combines the drama and social responsibility of Erin Brockovich with the charm and production values of 'Smallville.'

The Outpost follows Talon (Jessica Green, "Ash vs Evil Dead"), the lone SURVIVOR of a race called "Blackbloods." Years after her entire village is destroyed by a gang of brutal mercenaries, Talon travels to a lawless fortress on the edge of the civilized world, as she tracks the killers of her family. On her journey to this outpost, Talon discovers she possesses a mysterious supernatural power that she must learn to control in order to save herself, and defend the world against a fanatical religious dictator.

The Outpost also stars Jake Stormoen ("Extinct," "Mythica"), Imogen Waterhouse ("Nocturnal Animals", "Braid") Andrew Howard ("Hatfields and McCoys," "Hell on Wheels"), Anand Desai-Barochia ("Emmerdale," "Lake Mead") and Robyn Malcolm ("Top of the Lake," "Hostiles").
