Telly’s Take
At the beginning of the season, I thought that Underground would be renewed because of its ratings. Now that Outsiders has been cancelled, it’s looking like WGN America wants to get out of the scripted series business. I have a feeling this will be the last season for the series, at least on this channel. I will keep an eye on the ratings, my ear to the ground, and will update this page when I have news to share.

Underground deserves a season 3. If not more. This story is not over. Not only does this series so vividly recollect a time period in the American history that is critical to our nation, but just from an entertainment standpoint these characters have yet to finish their roles. Their stories deserve completion and to be seen. How a show like this ratings could drop so dramatically in some ways points right back to the state of this country and the continued issues we face with race relations.
