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.

Very upset show was cancelled. I will no longer be watching WGN network. I will find a network that cares about the people who watch their station. Any other shows I watch on WGN are done as well as the Outsiders. I hope more people quit watching WGN and that they no longer have a station to watch in the end for cancelling a great show.
Please do not cancel. Wonderful story. Can’t wait to watch each one
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL! Me and my husband are BIG FANS of this show! We NEVER MISS A EPISODE! Thanks to us having DVR. We enjoy this show so much. We actually have suggested it to out friends and family just recently. THEY ARE READY TO WATCH!
Outsiders is as good as S. O. A and if wgn isn’t going to do season 3 and more, Fx should.
Please please please renew outsiders. I would even subscribe to Showtime or H.B.O anything to continue watching
Like what happens to Hassle and his baby? What about Gwen and her baby? The sheriff getting suspended? Please dont end this show me all my family and friends watch this show. Please renew outsiders!!!!!!!!!
Please DO NOT cancel OUTSIDERS! My husband and I are in our 60’s, which is not included in your rating’s age group.
We watch-and record Every episode on Tuesday nights.
In addition, we have helped several of our same age group friends become ” addicted ” to the OUTSIDERS too, and you will most likely hear their protests to this cancellation also.
As a current lung cancer patient, I have to add that this show brings me joy, and distraction from my health issues too!
Please reconsider your decision of cancellation!
Thank you for your time..
I started watching this show right before season 2 aired and I am hooked. I am very disappointed they are canceling this show, I was also disappointed about Salem ending. Hopefully another station will continue to produce The Outsiders, maybe Netflix since they seem to notice TV series’ that have potential and prove the original networks wrong.
This is one of the best shows on television. As an African American women my family and really enjoy watching it. It has a lot depth and the acting is really good. I just watched the season finale last night and it left me wanting more. As I was searching for start date for season 3 I learned that it had been canceled. I’m so disappointed. I shared this with my sister who also watches it and she also very disappointed. I hope you all reconsider this decision or another network pick it up. I know the “Outsiders” has a… Read more »
Well that’s the only show I watched on this network so I guess I’m done with them
People binge watch shows now. So you cant go off initial ratings on air dates! We love this show and know a lot of people who do as well But I dont know anybody that watches weekly. I waited the entire season and just watched the entire season this past week. It would be a huge disappointment to not even have a ending and I would probably not even watch another show from WGN again in the fear of them ******** me out of another ending to a show. Allot of time and emotion gets invested in shows like this.… Read more »
The least they could do in one more season to give all of the followers an ending to the story. Do they stay on shay mountain or get wiped out?
please please contenue
