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.

This show is amazing! My husband and I have been binge watching it and we were sad to see they cancelled the show for a third season. I definitely think anyone should pick this show up! It’s different and just keeps you on your toes. I give it a 5 star rating. Gid Gid Yah!!!!!!

PLEASE!! PLEASE!! bring back outsiders. I watched it when it first came out. NEVER missed an episode and then BAM just like that it was gone. Never knew why till later. Every since it was cancelled I always thought of the show and wondered what would’ve happened. It was just getting to the good part. Please just put the show back on! PLEASE!
I can’t believe this show was canceled. You left us without an ending!!!! WGN film a 3rd season. Gig, gig, yah!!!!
I really enjoyed the shiw outsiders maybe fx coukd pick it up and show a season 3
Im so upset it has ended with no ending.. This has been 1 of the best shows ive watched on hulu.. People come on.. Please bring the show back.. Its a plus that opi from sons of anarchy is on that show. I could watch him all day n night. Sexiest man alive.. But honestly its a awesome show.
I stumbled onto this show on Hulu, thinking it was a new show. Silly me for not checking to see if it had a conclusion. Unfinished shows are becoming so common today, and it’s just unprofessional. You can’t leave your audience hanging!! Outsiders was a cool story, and was different enough to hold its own. I don’t understand why it would be cancelled! WGN has really made a mistake here, cancelling this show to expand its audience! I won’t watch future shows from them. I hope others will also boycott them. Calling on Netflix or Hulu to continue this very… Read more »
The best storyline I have watched in many years. You can’t leave us hanging like this.
I agree I just watched it and I can’t believe there is NO ending
I believe the views going down have to do with Asa dying, I don’t understand what the hell ya’ll where thinking with that! Even with that I believe it was a good series I think if you make a third season and leave it on Hulu to view and more people will watch it.
Bring back the Outsiders!
You need to bring outsiders back. It was no ending to the season 2…. If you are going to end something you should it with a ending not leave people hanging.
What were you thinking you guys had a very good series going and u just stopped and now you guys have another one with Yellowstone you all could of had a good station going if you kept outsiders now all you really have is Yellowstone til you up n cancel that too I’m praying another network is smart enough get outsiders and to start season 3 please god someone do it already it’s worth it
I AM ANGRY!!!!!! I LOVE THIS SHOW. JUST FOUND IT THANKS TO HULU !!!! THERE HAS TO BE A SEASON 3
My husband and I loved this show. When it was cancelled we got rid of satellite. Then when I heard it was coming back, we signed up again. Please bring it back. We enjoyed it so much!
