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 only subscribed þo EPIX to watch this series. If they cancel season 2 I’ll cancel EPIX.
estoy desesperado por la segunda temporada no veo series pero esta .es lo mejor que he visto sinceramente por fsvor biily lo mejor saludos desde chile
My partner and I both really enjoyed season 1 of billy the kid, 8 episodes just isn’t enough for this awesome show. We are looking forward very much for season 2
I enjoyed this show so much. It’s just strange how they do series now. All you get is 8 episodes and that’s it. At least it use to be 10 it’s just not fair. From now on I want be looking at the 8 episode deals it doesn’t make sense. Good job on the Billy the kid series though.
My Father and I watch this show together and we both sincerely hope it does indeed get a second season. Great show and great cast.
Finally got a series that I looked forward to each week, now it looks like Epic had you buy a teaser and it looks like it’s done.
This is the greatest show I’ve seen in a long time!
Love this. It’s actually got my older kids doing research on “the kid” and they are finding out more of our history. We are enjoying the show emencly and look forward to seeing it on our dvr.
