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.

Please renew Outsiders. The best show ever. An the cast is great. No , TERRIFIC. I look forward to Tuesday nights to watch my show. LOVE THE SHOW….
Outsiders is a show we love! Wish you had NOT cancelled it 🙁
Outsiders is awesome! I love the originality of this show. 11 of us get together every Tuesday to watch. I can’t believe you are cancelling such a good show. Guess you don’t care what the viewers. WGN is off my list if this show goes. So many things left hanging. Ridiculous decision.
PLEASE don’t cancel the Outsiders!!!! It’s not fair! Are you really gonna leave your viewers not knowing the outcome of the clan and town by not giving us a season 3???? I’m so upset. I don’t watch too much tv and the one show I fall in love with, WGN cancels!!! Shame on you WGN! You are going to have a lot of viewers including me who will never watch your channel again!!! Sad… very sad!
WHY!! I love Outsiders. It’s original programming and the highest ranking program WGN has! Are they deliberately trying to jinx themselves?? I sure hope someone else picks them up.
Such shame so so good Why I totally look forward to this pleasure reconsider of couse we know. You won’t but feel better
WGN has to be the dumbest channel ever! Why would you cancel the most watched series on WGN? It is arguably the best series to come along in a very long time. It’s creative, exciting and original. I really hope someone picks it up that deserves it. WGN is losing A LOT of viewers.
Please don’t cancel The Outsiders this the best show I have seen on tv since Sons of Anarchy…You would be disappointing a lot of people if you did cancel it…You would also be losing a lot of viewers….Just saying!!!!!
Please don’t cancel this show, we love it, fantastic
Please don’t cancel the Outsiders
Please you can’t cancel outsiders that is the one show I look forward to every Tuesday. I bet if you showed it year round more people will watch it and reasons ratings are low now is because a lot of people didn’t know season two started up yet. Please do a season 3. And if it’s cancelled I won’t be watching WGN anymore.
Please amc pick up this show.wgn doesn’t deserve it
Figures a great show like this would be cancelled. I’m not sure I buy so much the sale of WGN as the reason, since this show goes hard against big coal and we all know how that has been pushed on us so much, lately, plus the true freedom aspect of the Farrells is not something the big shots of the world can swallow without choking. I really hope Hulu, Netflix or Amazon can pick this up for more seasons, especially since Justified has come and gone. I miss that show something terrible and this helped fill that void.
