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.

Plezzzz don’t cancel outsiders! Love show
.DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT cancel this show. This is one of the best show’s on TV…The critic’s don’t know what they are taking about, and as far as ratings I’m 68 years old not 18-49, which seems to be the magic number and think this is a very good drama, with a great story line and cast is excellent…pay attention to the viewers not the critic’s and keep this show going, do not drop it, please…

Please i luv this show n All the cast,,, I have watched every episode u just CAN’T cancel, would luv to see season 3
This is the BEST series on any network, much less WGN. We are so disappointed in WGN for not renewing this series for a third, fourth or fifth season. Before this series we did not watch WGN often. Now we tune in each week. WGN, this is a huge mistake. A lot of viewers will be lost by this move. Hoping another network seizes the opportunity to pick up this great series. We will be watching. Great story and a great cast.
