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.

What do you think? Were you hoping that the Underground TV show would be renewed for a third season? Are you sad that WGN America has cancelled this TV series, instead?
Yes very sad it has been cancelled. I really enjoyed the show.
why cancel this show. our grandchildren need to learn their heritage and now this show is cancelled. Please Please Please keep Underground on for season #3 and if you have to cancel at least give us a final episode to satisfy all the people that are watching.
I first start watching wgn when Salem was on . They cancelled that show. I continued to watch wgn when Outsiders and Underground came on .Both these shows are cancelled and now there is no reason to watch wgn.
I guess it’s too much to hope that another station might pick these programs up.
Are you kidding me ? I have been heavily vested in watching this show was binge watching on Hulu for two weeks to get through the two seasons . Now I find out I’m gonna be left hanging with an unfinished story ! Seriously upset, if was gonna be cancelled it should have at least had an extra episode to wrap it up or somthing . I’m not going to get interested in shows from this company any more if they just drop them !!! What a dissapointment ☹☹
the best show!! not appreciated by thenetwork that has gain the leverage to sell and make a profit!! REPARATIONS DUE NOW!!
I am saddened that Underground has been cancelled. This is a quality show and educate not just the black race but everyone. Every Time a show of quality comes on it is taken off only to be replaced with shows filled with violence and degrading programs. Such a loss!
I think that canceling Underground & Outsiders (especially Underground) is a load of crap!!!! They already canceled Salem & that takes away every single show I watch on that channel!!! Those rat ******** don’t have a brain in their head & im so very disappointed!!!!
This isn’t going to work give the people what they want bring the show back we need season three where was the advertising for season 2 I never knew it was out watching now.
great show, please don’t cancell

PLEASE DON’T CANCEL UNDERGROUND!!! Its 1 of the best shows and my friends and i just started watching….YOU CAN’T…
PLEASE!
Please don’t cancel underground I truly love this show I want to see season 3 pleaseeeeeee don’t do this to us !! At least give us closure with another season
Please do not cancel….I LOVE this show…it’s information that needs to be out there.
I truly hope Underground will not be cancelled. This is an amazing series and sets itself apart from all the filth that is on TV now. Every actor I need this series makes you feel their heartbeat and that is so hard to do. If the show ca t stay with this network I really hope another network picks it up. Pleaseeeeee don’t rid Underground.
I been watching The show underground since season one. I hope they dont cancel the show. It’s teaching the next generation on what black people had to go thru.
