Street Outlaws New Orleans
Series Premieres Monday, February 22 at 9PM ET/PTStreet racing is exploding across the country and taking new form, with racers organizing exhilarating, underground street racing leagues and establishing teams to represent their respective cities. One of those fledgling teams is now featured in the new Discovery Channel series: STREET OUTLAWS: NEW ORLEANS. The new series, which premieres Monday, February 22 at 9pm ET/PT on Discovery, follows a motley crew of street racers in The Big Easy as they band together to prove they are the nation’s fastest. Featured on Discovery’s Motor Mondays, the original STREET OUTLAWS is Monday night’s #1 cable series for men (M25-54, M18-49, M18-34; excl. sports). Last season was the series’ most-watched (P2+) and highest-rated ever, and now they’re taking on New Orleans.
Kye Kelley is no stranger to the street racing circuit, having dominated the winner-take-all “Cash Days” – seen on last season’s STREET OUTLAWS – against 32 of the nation’s most elite racers, including Oklahoma City’s fastest. With his winning ’92 Camaro “The Shocker,” Kelley heads back to the Bayou to defend his title and build a crew of the fastest racers in the Southeast. However, now with a target on his back, Kelley must quickly adjust to life at the top.
In addition to keeping his crown, Kelley wants to put The Big Easy on the map for street racing. Rallying a team of New Orleans racers will prove to be a challenge with high stakes, bigger battles, more smack talk and faster cars than this city’s ever seen.
STREET OUTLAWS: NEW ORLEANS is produced for Discovery Channel by Pilgrim Studios; Craig Piligian and Sam Korkis are executive producers. For Discovery, Craig Coffman is executive producer, Todd Lefkowitz is coordinating producer, and Robin Humbert is associate producer.

How do you like the sound of the Street Outlaws: New Orleans TV show? Are you a fan of the original Street Outlaws series? Do you plan to check out the new series? Tell us.
What will become of Farmtruck and Azn? They were a big part of Street Outlaws with their crazy antics. You will never be able to replace them even if you tried.
Same show ,different cast; will never work. You should know that. It didn,t work for MAYBERRY RFD and it wont work here. You want to do a new show do it. thats fine. but don,t take away the show we love. KEEP the 405 forever.
I think you need to bring back the 405. Tbh I’m probably going to watch the new series but its not going to be as good as his chief and his crew, but if I where in the 405 I would look for another channel to put my series because no matter what people watch them anyways.
Don’t see a reason to change from the original. I won’t be watching N.O
Keep the original 405 street outlaws series and show the New Orleans show also.
I think okc 405 needs a new season. I love the show I wish I could be there with them. Do not care about watching New Orleans and New Orleans takes the 405 off no more Discovery Channel for me.
Big chief with his crew is the show any change will disrupt this show drastically and lose followers like me
I really think you should consider bringing back the 405. Unless the 405 boys are not willing to continue or want out. Explain to your viewers why you decided to cancel them and go to kyle ? Why drop one proven hit for a maybe unless its on their side!
Dude, street outlaws okc did not get cancelled. Season 7 is coming soon. This is a spin off show. They even showed a Damn clip of season 7 during cash days where chief wrecks his car against Brian chucky Davis. Chief said on his podcast season 8 starts filming in March.
I hope you are going to bring back OKC 405. The spin off doesn’t seem like it will be as great as the 405. So please bring back the OKC it’s what my husband and I look forward every monday.
The 520 in Tucson really looks forward to the 405 in OKC. Hope you keep the quality of the series with the same high standards that it has had. Please keep the 405 in OKC as the 520 in Tucson are faithful viewers.
As long as the 405 crew still has a show , I might watch the other show , Big Chief was the reason I started and continued to watch street outlaws. Over the years I have gotten used to the 405 crew and have come to like them all.Kye Kelly and his crew seem way to ghetto for me. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
i think it would be smart on your behalf to please bring back the 405, it all astarted there for you and US FANS. You can have an all year round tv series from RACERS all over the U.S. People are tired of fake characters tv shows. A LL your RACERS are real people doing their on THING. PLEASE KEEP IT ALL GOING…………….
Please Keep the 405 Boys on and I’ll watch Kelly’s Heroes to
N
Bring the 405 back to street outlaws!! The show was worth watching with their crew!
We will be checking out these bad boyz. We want to see who all will be stepping up to the plate and from where? 🙂 Evil Twin: https://youtu.be/TScqUFgFr6Q
