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?
One of the best series since Sons of Anarchy. Seems to me a lot of people were watching this show. Not understanding the corporate think tank. You had something popular so you think it’s a good idea to just end it. A lot of great shows have met this untimely conclusion or should I say lack of conclusion. I hope a network is smart enough to pick this series up and continue it in the form it has followed so far.
I was just searching for information on this show. It was one of my favorites and I don’t watch much TV. I really hope someone else will pick this show up.
I’m unhappy to hear that the show Outsiders has been cancelled! I think the only reason the ratings were low was the night, and time it was on, I don’t think enough people knew about the show. I really hope they bring it back, even if it’s moved to another day, channel, or to Netflix!
Absolutely love the show The Outsiders. WGN always waits until a show is getting really good and then cancel it. So tired of them doing that. We stopped watching WGN for that reason.
The Outsiders is a program we watched & waited for every week. We probably won’t watch WGN anymore – they took off their best show!! So sad!!
Thanks WGN now I have exactly Zero reasons to watch your Network……. BRING BACK SASSEL- BRING BACK THE OUTSIDERS….I’m dying over here!!!!!!!
The Outsiders is epic and original. If FX took over the this show, outcome would be extremely huge.
Wth… just binged onbthe first two seasons and now it’s done??? Really. I feel stuck.
Really unhappy that outsiders season 3has been cancelled. Love this show. So disappointed.
I’m so feed up with TV, Evey time they put something in that’s worth watching they take it off. The outsiders was a really good show and now look they canceled it wtf
We love this series and will be sorely disappointed if it’s cancelled! We would also like for season to be longer!!!
why is it when a good show like the Outsiders come on, the show is cancelled. This has been the best show ever made in a long time. Please do not cancel this show. WGN doesn’t know a good show when they watch one.
Love this show Outsider. Must renew for season three a must. Its got great ratings don’t understand why they would think they need to cancel. Great show.
Genius move, WGN. Outsiders was your
Breaking Bad or Supernatural. You had an enthusiastic fan base and an outstanding cast from the start, yet that didn’t stop the WGN corporate think tank from cancelling. I hope somebody sober realizes an error has been made, picks up unlimited seasons and laughs all the way to the bank.
Another great show bits the dust because of some corpit dummy.Big mistake.Hope someone pick it up
Please bring the outsides back it’s very good show ppl n the world fight for what is theirs just like outsides so please bring it back
