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.

Why????? This is A GREAT show!..Finally something different and thought provoking… every single series is about sex and vampires and death! .I am very upset. You all are making the wrong decision this was an awesome show! Please reconsider!
I’m very upset about the cancellation of Outsiders!!! My family and I love this series! I hope another network picks it up or even Netflix!
ME and my dad both want the outsiders back really loved watching the show
My husband and I enjoyed this program and really hope it is picked up on another network
Please please don’t cancel The Outdiders! It was one of the most decent shows on tv. Everything is turning into reality shows or game shows, which everyone hates and getting very tired of shows that have a story. I know lots of ppl that loved this show. And I just now saw online after getting anxious to see when it was coming back on, I am just furious please don’t cancel it!
