What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the WGN America cable channel, the Outsiders TV show follows the Farrell clan. High in the rugged hills of Appalachian Kentucky, this tight-knit isolationist family of renegades has lived atop Shay Mountain for over two hundred years. The Farrells are constantly at odds with those who live outside of their community. The cast includes Joe Anderson, David Morse, Ryan Hurst, Gillian Alexy, Kyle Gallner, Thomas M. Wright, and Christina Jackson.
Season Two Ratings

On April 14, 2017, The Outsiders was cancelled. Sony to shop the third season around. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
WGN America is still pretty new to producing original series. Consider Salem, which was cancelled in December of 2016. Its third and final season averaged a 0.08 in the demo and 259,000 viewers. Similarly, WGN’s cancelled Manhattan TV series finished with a 0.03 in the demo and an average a total audience of 239,000. For now, I’m inclined to think Outsiders has a way to fall, before it is in real danger of cancellation. I’m okay with that. The Farrells look a bit too grimy for even me to eat.
4/14 Update: Outsiders has been cancelled by WGN America, amidst rumors the network is being sold off. Details here.

Please don’t leave the show like this season one was one of the best story lines I have ever watched it should be made into a film brilliant Watching in The United Kingdom with sub titles but that didn’t take anything from the episodes brilliant got everyone talking about it here
Please renew i love the show dont leave me hanging please please please
I watch Hulu more than any other app that I have so I’ve seen a lot of movies and TV shows this by far is one of my favorites I’m really sad to find out that there won’t be a season three well done intriguing and I can’t wait to watch the rest wish there was more.
Please reconsider bringing back Shea mountain the outsiders. I promise you will not be short of sponsors! Appalachian mountain people were for the first time I think portrayed as the good and smart people they are. Please… people need to see this.. and they will watch!
I really hope they continue series of The Outsiders I want to see 345 it was a very good show
That’s so unfair to leave audience hanging, I’ve been binge watching, and this is the end, just left hanging
I think that hulu or netflix could pick this up. Its a great show and would love to see it come back.
I think TNT or Hulu, or HBO, the way it was left was wrong, they need to finish or continue the show, my husband and I love the show and what it represents, we are so disgusted with so many great movies not being ended properly
I think maybe TNT or CW could possibly pick it back up, I loved the show and the way they left it really sucked
As a fan of the show and of our planet and the proper life on earth. I believe that a third season needs to happen to rightfully end the story properly. Such an outstanding show about the purity of life and love that the Farrel clan shows and expresses, as well as the unfortunate destruction of our beloved planet. Needs to be shared and spread. I believe that Outsiders show does a tremendous job of doing that. Also to just end it at the 2and season in such a way that has been done is just wrong, dirty and unjust.
Me and my fiancé loved the outsiders and are sad its not goi to be continued. Could have been a very successful show 🙁
