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 don’t find most things on tv intresting or meaningful or worth watching. Most crap is all about violence without a reason. WITH THAT SAID. THE OUTSIDERS yes there is even violence in this show. BUT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. The Outsiders are fighting for the same reason we send our sons to war. To defend our freedoms and way of life. Ansel and sally ann wow imagine if young people actually tried to do whats write instead of all these baby mom drama because she has multiple baby daddy. Maybe im wrong but at least this show, shows what… Read more »
Please big folks out there in the studios don’t cancel the show – or let the producers find other options to continue this show (it is so addictive that you could probably finance it through crowdfunding :-). It is one of the most refreshing, interesting, and thoughtful shows of the past 3 years. The plot is getting better and better and the cast is outstanding. PLEASE RECONSIDER. Thanks in advance.
Please don’t cancel outsiders. It’s always been good but now it’s really getting interesting. So is WGN going to be like some of these other networks that cancel good shows and disappoint their watchers. Keep Outsiders.
Must have Outsiders! Not only is it a great show it has cultural tensions and the right way and wrong ways of dealing.
Please please another network pick up this show. It’s an awesome show great characters one of the best shows on television. Have always enjoyed David Morse as an actor and really want to see how these characters evolve as the series progresses
Save Outsider Please
The outsiders is my favorite show I’ve recorded every episode, even if I was watching on live tv.. it show so much potential for a 3rd season. U have different points to go off of conflicts between father n son! Two babies! Hasal shot with his girlfriend pregnant! Etc…. I could keep going!!!! Their are plenty of reasons to keep the series going!!! Please reconsider!!
Please Sony social media person trolling the internet: Please sell “Outsiders” to another network.
WGN has no vision or financial sense. Our family has no reason to tune into that station any more.
Please bring back a great story line with a terrifically talented cast.
Please don’t cancel Outsiders it’s one of the best shows on tv.
