Outsiders aired its series finale last night, but does that mean the show is over for good? Star Gillian Alexy recently spoke with Variety about a possible third season for the cancelled WGN America TV show.
The drama is set in the rugged hills of Appalachia and follows the Farrell clan, a tight-knit family of renegades who has lived atop Shay Mountain for over two hundred years and are at odds with those who live outside of their community. The cast also includes Joe Anderson, David Morse, Ryan Hurst, Kyle Gallner, Thomas M. Wright, and Christina Jackson.
In the interview, Alexy said she’d like to see a third season of Outsiders:
here’s so much more to explore with these characters in this world. The potential is just endless. I’d like to see G’win have her ideology tested. What is something that would push her to her edge? I of course would like to see the relationship with Little develop a bit more and see where that takes us, and the very weird relationship with Big. I’d love to see how that goes as well. And I’d like to see her down in the town, and just see how that would change her world.”
The odds of a third season on another network seem unlikely, but the series does seem to be popular with its fans. When we asked viewers if they’d watch Outsiders on another network, the answer was overwhelmingly “yes.”
Are you a fan of Outsiders? Do you think another network should pick up the show for a third season? Would you watch? Tell us what you think.
I don’t like many shows anymore. Mostly everything is “reality” television. This show is unique, it is original, it is realistic in its own sense, and it appears slightly GENIUS compared to the rest of the shows out today. Canceling this series should be a crime!! WGN gained me as a viewer due to Outsiders and will lose me as one now.
We love the show! Would watch it on any channel, very disappointed that it has been cancelled. Why cancel such a great show? What do we have to do to keep it going?
Save shay mountiin
Without a doubt, I loved the show and ALL the.characters.
I am very disappointed that the outsiders is not returning. it was the best series on TV. I would definitely watch it on another station. Please don’t take it completely off.
I can’t believe WGN would cancel a show that successful. It doesn’t make sense. Why would someone cancel something that’s so big with the fans, and so successful. Could it be that people are beginning to emulate the characters and believe the series is real, And the characters also real? After all, there is a real town called Blackburn, AND a real mountain there called Shay? Probably the actors asked for more Money. That’s usually why shows get cancelled mysteriously.
Omg I love that show I can’t wait for it to come on every Tuesday please I’m in it don’t take it away please
I absolutely love this show I’d watch it on any network WGN is insane to drop this show it’s really amazing and all the characters are perfect please rethink this or maybe FX should pick it up I’d be a great add on to the shows already on that channel. Since SOA ended I haven’t found a show I really liked but this is one that’s definitely a keeper also was upset when they cancelled Salem so WGN is headed down a bad road and in my opinion they are going to loose a lot of viewers.
I would watch this show on ANY network, even if I have to pay for it! It is an amazing show that is so very revelent to the times. It’s a classic good vs evil with characters that real people can relate to. The network that picks this up will also pick up the 10’s of thousands of fans the show already has. This show brought me to WGN, not the other way around. The story lines in the show are all at climaxes that we won’t get answers to if there’s not a season 3! Please some network pick… Read more »
Every time something come on that’s good the network will cancel,so if another network grabs it he’ll yea I will still watch it Great show,,,,,
I love the show. I cant believe they aren’t going to continue it. What an idiotic decision. I would definitely watch it on any network smart enough to pick it up. I agree that it has not recieved the promotion it deserves. I only found it through an internet search for Ryan Hurst.
My mother and I watched the show faithfully (and several of my friends too) and are extremely disappointed that WGN is dropping it. We are hoping that another network will pick it up. It’s one of the few shows on TV we looked forward to each week.
One of the best shoes out there…sure wish another network would pick it up
To loose the Outsiders now would be a grave unjustes, not only to the fans of the show, but to the cast as well!! They all are such incredible actors, and they do such an awesome job bringing their characters to “life “. Anyone in the T.V. business who has any sense of what a great show this is, should grab it up in a second!!! What was, or is the story with Asa?
First of all, WGN has no idea what they’re doing if they cancel outsiders. The show is by far the best show on tv. Every episode you just gotta say “wow” and “i can’t believe that just happened” There’s not an episode that i didn’t like. I asked about fifteen to twenty people if they’ve seen the show before and they all said no. The show needed advertised more. I think that I’ll stop watching WGN if the show is cancelled
