What genre is the CW TV series "The Outpost"?

The CW television series "The Outpost" is a fantasy series. More specifically, it is generally classified as a fantasy-adventure drama, following Talon, a survivor of the Blackblood people, in a fictional medieval-like world.

The story combines quests, castles, warriors, magical powers, supernatural creatures, and an invented mythology. Those elements place it in fantasy rather than historical drama. It sometimes includes darker action and political conflict, but its central world-building and supernatural plot make fantasy the clearest single genre answer.

The series was created by Jason Faller and Kynan Griffin and was produced by Arrowstorm Entertainment and Electric Entertainment. Although it was produced for Syfy’s international channels, The CW acquired it for American broadcast, which is why it is often described as a CW show.

"The Outpost" premiered in 2018 and ran for four seasons. It was filmed first in Utah and later moved production to Serbia. The series ended in 2021. Viewers sometimes call it science fantasy because it mixes adventure tropes with unusual technology and magic, but standard listings identify fantasy-adventure as its primary genre.
