Are you a fan of Outsiders? WGN America just cancelled the TV series after two seasons. What do you think? Do you think it should have been renewed? Would you watch a third season on another channel?
Airing on Tuesday nights, the Outsiders drama follows the Farrell clan, a tight-knit family who reside in the rugged hills of Appalachia and come into conflict with the surrounding population. The cast includes David Morse, Thomas M. Wright, Ryan Hurst, Joe Anderson, Gillian Alexy, Kyle Gallner, Christina Jackson, Francie Swift, and Phyllis Somerville.
Ratings have never been great for Outsiders, but it’s been one of the highest-rated original scripted shows on WGN America. Currently, season two is averaging a 0.21 rating in the 18-49 demo and 780,000 viewers — down by 26% in the demo when compared to the first season. Now, it seems that the upcoming season two finale, scheduled for April 25th, will also serve as the series finale.
Or, will it? Sony Pictures Television is reportedly shopping a third season of Outsiders to other outlets. The show’s ratings wouldn’t seem to be a strong selling point but, these days, you never know.
What do you think? Should Outsiders have been renewed by WGN America? Would you watch the TV series on another channel or via a streaming service?
Yes I would watch on another channel I love this show!!!
Hoping another network will pick up the outsiders. Please!! Keep this show going. There is still so much more story to tell.
Yes!! I would continue to watch!! Love Outsiders!!!
I love the outsiders I would watch it on any channel. I look forward to when it is on.
Maybe the ratings would be up if WGN was available on all TV outlets. It was removed from Direct TV. My cousin loved the first season, but then they lost the channel before season 2 started!
I have DirecTV and I get WGN. Maybe it’s the package your cousin gets.
If the show were available to everyone, not just cable subscribers, more of us could watch and you wouldn’t have to cancel. I’m waiting for Season 2 to be released on Hulu. It’s such a good show, sorry to see it go.
Exactly right Donna!! That’s the only reason the ratings aren’t higher! If everyone who has a TV could watch and not just the ones who have paid TV the ratings would go through the roof!!
Yes please continue
I would continue to watch. This is one of those shows that just keeps becoming better and better as time passes.
Please bring it back on another station!
I would totally watch on another station/network/channel!!!
Yes I would watch it as I’m from Ky & have been the the Appalachia-the show carries life as these ppl live. Plz plz someone plz pick up Outsiders.
Best show I have seen in years!
Yes I’m so upset great show!!
I think WGN made a mistake cancelling Outsiders! I am hoping with all my might another network will pick it up!
I would definitely watch next season. One of my all time favorite series!
