What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the EPIX cable channel, the Billy the Kid TV show stars Tom Blyth and Daniel Webber with Eileen O’Higgins, Dakota Daulby, Sean Owen Roberts, Jonah Collier, Ryan Kennedy, Leif Nystrom, Siobhan Williams, Brendan Fletcher, Jamie Beamish, Shaun Benson, Lisa Chandler, Chad Rook, Luke Camilleri, Zak Santiago, Vincent Walsh, and Nuria Vega in recurring roles. The story is based on the life of Billy the Kid (Blyth), an American outlaw also known as William H. Bonney. It follows his life from his humble Irish roots, to his early days as a cowboy and gunslinger on the American frontier, to his pivotal role in the Lincoln County War and beyond. Jesse Evans (Webber) is another famous outlaw and leader of the Seven Rivers Gang. When they meet, Jesse has already embraced a life of crime, from robbing stores to cattle rustling. Billy is attracted to this wild and reckless character and Jesse becomes Billy’s doppelganger of sorts — his shadow self, forever inviting him over to the dark side of life.
Billy the Kid has been renewed for a second season on MGM+ which will debut on October 15, 2023. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Unless they decide to publicize viewership, it is difficult to predict whether EPIX will cancel or renew Billy the Kid for season two. Since EPIX isn’t ad-supported, it can take a chance on series it believes in and stories that need telling, but sooner or later it comes down to production costs, versus viewership numbers. My sense is that the cable channel is committed to this show so I think that it will get a second season. I’ll keep my ears open and an eye out for news, and will update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on Billy the Kid cancellation or renewal news.

What do you think? Are you glad the Billy the Kid TV show has been renewed for a second season? How would you feel if MGM+ had cancelled this TV series, instead?
I LOVE this series! From the history to the acting, from the sets to the costumes- it’s ALL a win. I would love Seasons 2, 3, 4… but I don’t know how much more of the story they can tell? It’s a very short story, but I love it.
Don’t cancel!!!!
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL! Billy The Kid is one of the few good series to watch, I Love the Actors ( Especially Tom Blyth :)…the story line, the acting and directing, everything is awesome, don’t change anything, big mistake to cancel this series.

For sure I hope there’s more seasons to come! I absolutely love this show.
I think this is a winner! We really enjoyed it & can’t wait for the next episodes.
I love a great story especially when it’s got some facts and history to it. Billy the kid has an opportunity to be just as big as “Vikings “ in my opinion. The first 6 episodes have gotten better each episode . Keep it coming
