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.

I thought thay show was absolutely awesome. I think A&E Should pick this show up and run with it.
BAD MOVE WGN!.. SMH
I watched every episode. Why cancel a show that so many people watch? I don’t tolerate any interruptions during the show. Don’t call, text, talk to me or even sneeze. Wow! Renew the series.
This is horrible news! Why do you always cancel the best shows? Very dissapointed!
I absolutely love this show this is why I don’t like to watch t.v. series just as you get into it it gets cancelled yes I would watch it on another channel love this show
I just hope we don’t take Outsiders off the TV it’s one of the best series I’ve watched in a long time every time something good comes on you will have to take it off I just pray that y’all don’t discontinue this thank you a friend
The Outsiders is one of the best Show that I’ve seen in a long time I hope they don’t cancel it every time a good series comes on and you get two enjoy watching a good series you all take it off I just hope you all don’t Take The Outsiders off
Please put this show back on. Why cancel something that is terrific and different from anything else on t.v. I was anxiously awaiting the new season. It’s like reading the best book you ever read and halfway through someone rips it out of your hand and won’t give it back.
Great story, writing and acting. DO SOMETHING and put it back on.
The outsiders has had me hooked sence the first episode. I love this series, there is so much going on in every episode, it keeps you wanting more! Im very dissatisfied with wgn and there decision to cancel the outsiders. If there is no session 3, me and my family will never watch anything on wgn ever again. #saveshaymountain
Shame on you WGN Outsiders was an amazing show. I haven’t seen anything like that show on any other channels. You’re wrong not to continue it for the next season. There is more going on in the show than a lot of people realize. Myself, I will not be able to watch it if I can’t get it on cable. I can’t afford WiFi or Netflix or other types of tv services that offer their limited shows. If you’re not happy with the ratings sell it to USA, TNT, FX or AMC. Please don’t kill it.
The characters were great, the story line original and not the same old stuff which was very refreshing! This was one of the only TV shows that caused my entire family gather together to watch!
I’m so angry about The Outsiders being canceled!!! It’s such a great show!! I. Think the real problem is that there has not been enough advertising!! That is not the. Shows fault, I blame it on the TV station. Hopefully the show will get picked up by another station…
