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
The second season of The Outsiders averaged a 0.21 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 772,000 viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 28% in the demo and down by 6% in terms of average total audience size. Find out how The Outsiders stacks up against the other WGN America TV shows.
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.

Love it… need a third
KEEP OUTSIDERS ITS ONE OF THE BEST TV SHOWS OUT I NEVER MISSED ONE EPISODE I COULDNT WAIT TIL NEXT WEEK FOR THE NEXT EPISODE PLEASE COME BACK FOR SEASON 3
Outsiders was a great show that shouldn’t be cancelled.
It mis about the unfairness to those that are different and unique. The unfairness to nature… Unfairness to our future generations. In the name of power, money and personal greed.
Must bring it BACK!!!!!
PLEASE KEEP THIS SHOW ON it is one of the few shows worth watching , we have never missed an episode. We are very disappointed you would ever want to end it
This is one of the best shows on tv we never missed an episode. PLEASE KEEP THIS SHOW GOING
Please please don’t cancel this. This is another show that has a slow following but will become a big hit. I hope Hulu will take over or Netflix, but this is my favorite show.
The Outsiders should not be canceled..It seems WGN does not know that they have a good thing..Hopefully another network will see what a great program and what a large following it has and pick it up.
Bring the Outsiders back guys or pass it on..don’t just let it die.
Loved this show….hope it gets picked up.
Want more love the show
HOWEVER…..isn’t this show being shopped to other networks/outlets?
Don’t cancel one of my favorite shows, there are too little on TV to watch as it is why cancel with the ratings being so high.
This show SHOULD NOT have been cancelled on WGN… big mistake. Excellent show . I hope some other station will pick it up
I really enjoyed the show. and really I mean come on guys you got a good thing going here there’s a long ways that the show go… please reconsider
I’m an older person, but love the Outsiders! I must say I’m not surprised to see cancelled. Come on guys, it’s all about the money. Disc. just started a “new” show at the same time Outsiders stopped. And in the same time slot. Need I say more? Too bad, sure hope it gets picked up.
I love this show. The script is always good. I was waiting for the birth and the investigation into the murder of the mining company leader. Hope Netflix picks it up
I love this show and hope another network picks it up. Great original story line, way different from the same old same old shows on TV today.
This is our favorite show on TV. I hope WGN or any other channel will pick this series up. It was already difficult waiting for the 2nd season to begin. Whoever the powers-to-be are, please pick up this series.
