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.

My husband and I love this show. Every time we get into a show they cancel it. Wgn is really messing up. They will lose a lot of viewers. Very disappointed.
You can’t cancel this show… Are you kidding.. the thought of watching it on Tuesday night is what I look forward to all week. Addicted to it.. wish it was on every week, no season finale… DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW PLEEeeeease!!!!!
I love the Outsiders I just started watching this season.What idiot cancels a shoe when it starts to get good? We demand season 3!
Why would any station cancel a show that had Americas families watching television again- TOGETHER. With the world the way it is today Outsiders was our escape. The one night hubby would rush home – the kids were fed,bathed,and ready for bed. ME? I cherished that hour of feeling as if those people were part of my family..that I was in Kentucky with them.. they were the family that brought mine together. <3
Yesssssss!!!!
