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.

What do you think? How do you feel about WGN America cancelling its Outsiders TV show after two seasons? Which network or service should pick up the third season?
We are very, very disappointed to hear they are cancelling the outsiders!!! Leave us hanging in the wind like a dead leaf on a tree! Come on people! Give us the 3rd season we’ve been devotedly waiting for!
What a bad decision on the part of WGN!!!
I hope they decide to at least sell the 3rd season on DVD. Maybe Netflix or Amazon should pick it up. Very dissapointed….
somebody call netflix for the love of God !!! all the mindless crap on tv and they cancel an original show with a fantastic cast.. wtf ?!? WGN needs to look at their ratings. they are sort of the whole point kids !!! I say Netflix cuz they have the budget to pick it up without a second thought. Viva Los Outsiders !!!
I cannot believe WGN cancelled The Outsiders especially with so many loose ends. There are very few TV shows I look forward to watching and The Outsiders is right up there with Sons of Anarchy. Please renew!!!!
I cannot believe they are cancelling OUTSIDERS !!! I seriously WILL NOT watch wgn ever again…. I hope another channel picks this series up, I’m hoping your viewers have a say in this… and it counts.
I can’t believe you’re canceled Outsiders at is an awesome show I will not watch WGN again every show that’s good you people seem to cancel what is wrong with you
How terrible! We watched this show faithfully! It was one of our favorite shows. I hope another network picks it up!! WGN, I’m not happy with you! Not going to watch anything on their channel.
Our families favorite show. Beyond disappointed there will be no season 3. Wont watch anything on WGN again. Hope some other channel picks it up.
Please bring back “The Outsiders”. Wonderful and talented actors.. great story line about a simple family trying to keep their home aND way of living!!! Please!!!
There has to be another Network that wants to pick up The Outsiders what a fantastic show what a great story we look forward to every Tuesday night date night watching The Outsiders so disappointed the WGN drop the ball maybe TNT or USA or one of the other networks would love to see this show come back
A 3rd season of the outsiders needs to happen!!! My boyfriend and I got into this show and are more than hooked we need to see what happens to the mountain. Please renew or pick it up by Hulu or some net work but please it’s a great show it’s like SOA for us rednecks and out doorsman!!!
Our whole family’s favorite show, please come back Outsiders !!!
our familys favorite show, so sad !!!
This show is so GOOD (to put it mildly) in every way, that it really should be winning all kinds of awards, not being cancelled! Shows that have movie-quality cinematography, spot-on character casting, unusual setting and costuming, stellar performances, and captivating storylines such as Outsiders offers – is a one-in-a-million GEM! I do not want to say goodbye to this sterling series! I watch a lot of TV shows, all of which are superb in their own right – but nothing leaves me champing at the bit for more like Outsiders does! Please, FIND IT A HOME WGN, Fedora, Sony…!
Love this show!! Hope it is on for years to come!! Can’t wait for the next season to begin!
Please everyone contact WGN by email or phone and let them know how outraged Outsiders fans are!!! Go to their website for contact info. I sent my email!
