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?
Absolutely!! This has been one of the most original series I have seen in years and the cast is compelling. I was so happy when WGN America was added to our Uverse channels, hopefully another network will pick this show up or WGN America will come to their senses.
GED GED YAH!
Absolutely we would! As of now I’m cancelling my spectrum cable as I don’t watch WGN except for Outsiders.
Yes!
Hell, I’d watch it in another language. (With sub-titles of course) Ged Ged Yah!
Great show! Yes, I would watch on another channel.
Yes I would
I love the show me and my wife look at it every week and will love to see season 3 on the same network or a different one as long as we get the show we be happy
Yes for sure my wife and I would watch it on any channel.It seems like when a good show comes out they always figure out a reason to cancel it.Please don’t cancel this one.
I think Ryan Hurst is an American jewel. My people immigrated to America in and are listed in the 1710 US census. They lived in Virginia at a place called light ridge just outside of Meadow of the Dan. Outsiders is a moder version of my family history. Yes I want outsiders to be picked up by another network. Mountain people are largely ignored by America history. The Appalachia mountains were some of the last places to have major roads built.
Oh YES we will most definitely watch this series on a different channel. This was the only show we watched on WGN. Will be taking it out of our favorite channel line-up now that they have decided to cancel this great program.
I will watch it on another channel hope someone picks it up
I’d follow the show.
I love this show and would watch it on any channel except I can’t get Netflix.
Love the outsiders series, please don’t cancel! ! Yes I would watch it on any channel. I really have respect for Ryan Hurst, want to see what other writing this man can compose.
