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?
Love this show, please renew for season 2
They better have a season 2 of Billy the Kid or I’m dropping Epix, that show is the only reason I got the channel!
The only reason I prescribed to Epic is for that show
I absolutely loved this show! I need the second Season!
My family and I loved the series. Please make season 2!!
Love the show. Renew it please
Please renew I love this show and patiently waiting on season 2!!
i loved that show
I cannot wait for the next season!
I definitely look forward to there being another few seasons of Billy the Kid! I thoroughly enjoyed the show.
It was a very addictive series! I would love more seasons
This is an awesome series, it would be awful to cancel it…
Gee, it would be a crying shame if it is canceled. Why do the first part of the man’s life without dealing with the Lincoln County War? It’s the meat of the story.
First season was awesome, can’t wait for the 2nd season . Bring it on !
I really liked it I even paid for a subscription to epix just to watch it. I am looking forward to seeing a second season and more. It’s a new take on a story that’s only been told one way before. Please renew it for a second season and hope there’s more episodes.
