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?
It’s a good show and I at least want an ending.
Awesome show, but like so many, it’s cancelled without a conclusion leaving fans hanging. What a shame when there’s so much crap on television, and something worthwhile gets cancelled.
Outsiders was great!
I hope it comes back. I am 59 years old.
Love the mountains and the simplicity.
Please bring back the Outsiders, this is and, was one of the best tv series in a long time that viewers could really get hooked on and binge watch… please!!!! One more season..
Give a few more seasons of the “OUTSIDERS” great show
Don’t take the Outsiders off! This show is so good I binge watched it, I couldn’t stop watching! Every time something different comes on it seems they take it off. Bring it back there’s a lot of us that love it!
I want more!! This is BS
I wish Netflix or Hulu would pick it up from season 3 forward, but that doesn’t appear to be happening. I binge watched the first two seasons on Hulu and felt it was one of the better shows on television today.
Bring back Outsiders!! We need a season 3! It’s a great show and I actually just discovered it. Then binged watched both seasons within a few days. This is a good show. Keep it going. The ratings could be phenomenal if it were put out there in a better way! We just happened to scroll over it and was curious. Then we absolutely loved it!
There certainlyvshould have been a 3rd season. These characters have been developed into likeable or not so likeable individuals and we are left hanging. Would be nice if any network would pick it up so we could have a season with closure. The story is not over. Love them Farrell’s.
This show is one of the best series shows I have ever watched (second place to soa) Please bring it back please, or even a spin off show something. I feel this show could go for 8 more seasons really.
This show and cast are amazing!! Bring it back! I don’t care which network, just continue this drama series!
Please renew the show!!!!
Don’t cancel Outsiders. Good series.
I want more!! Loved it. Binge watching since I discovered it!! Please don’t cancel it
