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.

So sad that underground got canceled I hope WGM loses a lot of viewership behind this move. Then maybe they will understand that they owe their viewers quality television
So sad that Underground has been cancelled. Been looking forward to seeing it again ever since the season two finale………I hope WGN looses a lot of viewership behind this move, then maybe they will understand they owe their viewers quality TV
This was really a good show. They don’t want us to see the truth about slavery. Very upsetting but you keep all the ratchet shows going.
Ok, let’s be real. Why do you begin a show and can’t end it. It doesn’t make any sense, how you leave all the viewers just hanging.
Thank you, please don’t leave us all hanging, with no ending of Underground.

Such a quality look at real historical events. It would be better TV if viewers got a view of racial issues from all sides, and perspectives. Hope another station will pick up the series
How do they cancel a show like The Underground but Love & Hip Hop As Seen On TV come on WGN. Another Network needs to pick this show up seriously bring Back the underground.
