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.

Please, please, please DON’T cancel The Outsiders!! We love this show and can’t wait to watch it.
I’m very disappointed that Outsiders has been cancelled. I loved this show. One of the few that is neither a sitcom or horror series. This was one of my favorite. I hope another station takes over this series.
PLEASE KEEP THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!
My husband and I love this show. The family of the Ferralls are awesome!! Every show keeps us on the edge of our seats. PLEASE don’t cancel this show!! All the chracters are great! The entire story is great!! Never been interested in a TV show on a regular basis until now!! Keep the Outsiders!!
I love Outsiders!!!! Really hope another channel or online streaming service picks this up!!!! Watched the final episode tonight, and this show has so much potential! So many questions left unanswered!!!!!
Outsiders has taken the place of American idol now. I am from WV and we LOVE THIS SHOW I hope some takes it over.
Sure would be greatly upset to know that the outsiders would ever be canceled. This a very true way of mountain life..more people should watch it and get what real respect and family loyalty stands for. …it’s a wonderful show . WE NEED SEASONS 3-4-5 —-as many as possible. .
I hope it gets picked up by another channel this is one of my favorite series! There are too many horrible series on and the good ones get cancelled.
Keep the Outsiders!! Best show ever. All episodes were great, a show that captures your attention for the whole show. Someone please pick it up!!
Anyone heard if it’s been picked up? I really hope someone decides this cast and this story is worth it.
