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.

Renew this she please! My husband and I enjoy watching this together. We dont watch many shows together but this is definitely one and with the renewal.
If they are that stupid not to want a popular show. Hopefully another channel will pick it up. I only want to see the next season. Some body get off their butt.
I was a really big fan of Outsiders. Big people with the money help cancel these shows SO UNFAIR rM
I am so dissapointed that Outsiders has been canceled. It was the only show on your channel I watched, now I will not watch at all. Your loss.
COME ON ….. I was into this show!!!!! WTF? Put it back on and keep it going!!!!! Just up and leave it???? NOOOOO
My sister and I have been anxiously awaiting the return of the Outsiders. Please do not cancel. You have a show that is different from other shows and we would like to see it continue
I really hope we get to see a Season 3 of The Outsiders. This unique show had an exciting story line and interesting characters. I’m beginning to think that if I love a show it is doomed for cancellation. Maybe Netflix will pick up The Outsiders the way they did Longmire
Love The Outsiders,best series!
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL OUTSIDERS. live the show.
Season 3 Please.
Finally a show worth watching, and despite good ratings, it’s cancelled. It would be great if another network would pick it up!
I really enjoyed season two and was. shocked to hear it was cancelled i am sure with a bigger range of promotions and a little time this could been very popular series shame on whoever had such little faith at the network! I completely by accident saw a promo tuned in and was hooked without even seeing season one.
I cannot believe this great show was cancelled. Very disappointed
This is one of the best shows out there. Bring it back for season 3
