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.

I also started watching this channel after watching The Outsiders. My husband and I plan our activities on Tuesday night’s so we don’t miss the show. WGN is a idiot to cancel this show!!!!
Love this show! It’s the reason I started watching your network. One of the few shows my husband and I will watch together. We look forward to it each week. Best show on TV. We will be leaving your network if it’s not renewed. Hope another network will pick it up. We will definitely be watching.
Do not cancel this show. One of the best shows on your channel.
please renew this is the best show ever
I absolutely am addicted to this show.. why would you cancel the one show that’s so interesting and keeps you wanting more?
My husband and I look forward to this show every week! We both love it. Looking forward to a season 3.
Renew, I think the outsiders are better program, than 90% of what is on television now. The Outsiders are fictional but it has some serious issues that are real. I applaud the writers. Keep up the good work. looking forward to seeing you for many seasons. Mark F of Gr Mi.
Please give us a season 3!! This show is so good , there is truly nothing else even close to it! Best TV show ever!!

There was a contract dispute so no, they didn’t just get rid of Joe Anderson.
