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 think epix will get terrible reviews if they don’t do season 2. I believe it has the potential to be as big as Yellowstone
Fantastic show. The writing, the casting and cinematography are all top notch. Has to be another season or two. Perhaps four or five and that’s it. Plan it out and do it right!
I hope the seasons continue
Yes I want season 2, 3, 4 etc please keep Billy the kid going !!!
It wud be nuttin less than a catastrophe,,,foe a director to come up wit such an awesome t.v. series, & then leave us ALL hangin, desperately wantin moe!!

Great show needs a finale
This was a very good show and would be very disappointing for it to end the way it did it deserves a finishing conclusion at least.
Would like to see season two. Great series
I love the season 1 of Billy the Kid! One of the best I have seen. We watched all of Season 1 in 2 evenings. Can’t wait for Season 2!!!!!
I love the show well written and I hope to see season two

Yes, I definitely would like another season if Billy the Kid & even more, if possible.
