TV show description:
This drama series is set in the rugged hills of Appalachia and follows the Farrell clan. They are a tight-knit family of renegades who have lived atop Shay Mountain for over two hundred years.
The Farrells live off the grid and above the law, enforcing their own set of long-held values and beliefs. They are governed by a simple but powerful tribal authority led by a Bren’in, or ruler, and a small council of elders.
Notoriously secretive and unforgiving when crossed, the Farrells find themselves in conflict with the residents of the nearest town nestled at the foot of Shay Mountain. These locals — and all others outside the tribe — embody greed, malice and all forms of corruption that must be avoided at any cost. Direct contact with the ‘Losties’ (as named by the Farrells) is strictly forbidden.
For the last 20 years, an uneasy truce has generally presided between the ‘Losties’ and the family tribe of Shay Mountain — until Big Coal enters the arena. Never ones to back down from a fight, the Farrells will ultimately defend their way of life using any available means.
Characters include: Big Foster (David Morse), the gruff and powerful heir to tribe leadership. His son is Lil Foster (Ryan Hurst), a massive mountain man.
Young and intuitive Hasil (Kyle Gallner) feels rejected by the group. Lady Ray (Phyllis Somerville), the regal yet tough leader of the Farrell clan.
Asa (Joe Anderson) is a former member of the Farrell clan looking to rejoin the family after a 10-year stint with the outside world. Asa’s trusted confidante is G’Winveer (Gillian Alexy), a healer and a survivor.
Beautiful and young, Sally-Ann (Christina Jackson) is from a mining town and she’s fascinated by the Farrells (Hasil, in particular).
Haylie (Francie Swift) is a clever and cunning all-American community relations manager who represents the encroaching coal company.
Sheriff Wade Houghton (Thomas M. Wright) is a cop who has a rough and mysterious history with the Farrells, and grapples with several personal troubles of his own.

What do you think? Do you like the Outsiders TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
That’s a good show how could yous cancel it!!!
Outsiders was the best TV series, we have 27 people just in our immediate family all living in different houses and we all watched it. Whoever made the decision to cancel that want using their head or got greedy trying to make it to another channel, sad!
BRING IT BACK ON SOME NETWORK. Someone out there has to have the smarts to know this was a fantastic show.
Loved the show please bring it back. We never missed an episode
The life style is interesting. I have been waiting for it to come back on. I want to see how Sally Ann and Hasil work out their new little family into which community And of course the mountain men big and little foster, you got to love those guys. Yes,yes,yes bring them back one more time to tie up the loose ends on these peoples lives. I want to see it to the end. Please.

Yes I love the Farrell’s
YEA!! I would watch the show continue on ANY channel!!!!!!!!!
I’m shocked that The Outsiders will not be returning! I’ve been waiting for it to return. It was one of those shows that you can’t wait till that day of the week for it to come on. We loved that show and all our friends watched it also. Please bring it back on the air.
That’s a shame, it was a good series to watch. It was capable of taking you away to a place that could actually exist in this day and time.
We are truely hooked on this series, I can’t believe that it is cancelled, this is one of the best TV shows that has been on in a while. I hope that something happens sometimes the it can come back every if by another TV station. it
I love the show so much!!! Please do a season 3, I’m so hook on this show I watch it twice.
This show is Spectacular !

Belinda
