Even for a summer TV series, the freshman outing of The Outpost TV show on The CW did not get good ratings. It wasn’t cancelled though, and now it is back for a second season as well as a second shot at building an audience. Can the series grow during season two, or has it already peaked? Will The Outpost be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned. *Status update below.

What do you think? Do you like The Outpost TV series on The CW? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
*10/14/19 update: The Outpost TV show has been renewed for a third season on The CW.
Season 2 was definitely better than Season 1. It’s not a complex storyline, rather simple but Season 2 did a attempt to throw a few twists. I hope to see a Season 3.
I agree this show doesn’t have a complex storyline, but sometimes, you just don’t need that to enjoy a tv show. This is a fun show and I hope to see a Season 3 as well.
Even though it’s a clear attempt at a cable version of GoT, and the storyline is so rushed, I love this show. Really hoping to get to see what happens next
I love this series I hope it comes back again, I go on Twitter to follow others who love the series. Please don’t cancel.
This is one of my favorite shows and I hope it continues on for years.
The show keeps you on the edge of your seat and you don’t know what is going to happen next and also Jessica Green is hot
I really like this show a lot. Adventure/ fantasy based story that has a good cast and interesting characters. Production level is decent. I really like its simple approach. Jessica Green does a great job and
I hope she goes on to find other roles. As far as The Outpost, I’m a fan! Bring on the next one please!
I look foward to Thursday’s just to watch Outpost. I love the series and hope there is a season 3. Please don’t leave use hanging.
I watched all of The Outpost season 1. It was okay but wasn’t surprised to hear after season 1 was over that CW had cancelled it. Then months later I read it had been renewed instead of canceled. Something must have happened to change their minds about canceling The Outpost. I starting watching season 2 simply because it was on and not much else is on during the summer. After episode 1 of season 2 it started getting better and better. I now hope CW renews The Outpost for season 3. If CW doesn’t want to go past season 3… Read more »
Right!! I love me some Sci -fi. I don’t know why they have to base everything from 18 to 49 anyway, we 50 and older like sci-fi to. I’m just saying!! I love the outpost though
Very first episode WAS weak, but the Outpost got instantly better! I stuck with the show and now I love it. Very much want a season 3,4,5,6, and 7! It’s just a great summer show.
The Outpost episode that aired on 8/1/19 earned a .2/1 rating not a .16. Please update chart.
We use unrounded demo numbers as they become available because they are more accurate (particularly as the live+same day audience diminishes). 0.16 is the unrounded demo for the 8/1/19 episode.
My husband will watch anything with a bit of fighting but I found it an embarrassingly clumsy knock off of ‘ Game of Thrones’. I didn’t like GOT much either but had to admit the script, production and actors were excellent.
Don’t leave us hanging!! I have already purchased on Blue-ray Season 1 and 2 on Netflix so please please renew this amazing series!!
Please give outpost season 3 even if its cancelled after season 3 at least carry on the story line finish the tale I love this show great characters good story amazing sets Jessica Green just love her!!! Please who ever reads this season 3 pleaseeeeeee!!!
I have been waiting for season 2 great start love this show give it a season 3
Love the show, but I guess if the ratings are not there, ,you can’t expect the producers to keep going. But hey, thanks for Season 2.
the ratings are pretty consistent with last season which is a good sign, normally i’d think those ratings would get you cancelled, but if last seasons ratings were good enough for renewal, then it should be enough this time around.
I love the Outpost and hope it’s renewed
