No Season 3 for the cable drama.
April 14, 2017
It is being reported that WGN America is cancelling Outsiders after two seasons. The news, which comes ahead of the drama's sophomore finale on April 25, is a bit of a surprise considering the series is the cable network's highest-rated scripted original.
According to network boss Peter Kern, the move to end the series was the result of a decision to focus on a more diverse programming strategy aimed at reaching a broader audience. What that means exactly is not yet clear, though it does leave only Underground as WGN America's only remaining original scripted drama.
Outsiders follows a clan that has spent decades living off the grid in rural Kentucky. Following their own rules outside of the law, they will do whatever it takes to defend their way of life on their mountaintop residence in the mysterious and rugged hills of modern-day Appalachia.

Seems to me that WGN dramas only ever last 2 or 3 seasons tops.

WGNA is pathetic. They have a winner and throw it away. Hopefully the program will be picked up by another network. WGNA isn't worthy of airing that program anyway... Bah...

That is surprising. The show was well scripted and acted. Additionally, I rate a show based on how fast time flies when watching. I can honestly say that time flew.
A bad move from WGN, for a seemingly fabricated reason.
Oh well, there are other networks

I'm hoping another network picks this show up. I really like it. The writing is good and the acting is as well. More diverse? I don't know how much more diverse the show can get. It has all the right pieces.

I only watched the first episode of Outsiders and I didn't care for it. But my Dad really liked the show and watched all the episodes. We bothed loved Salem. Now we won't be watching WGN at all. They want diverse programming but they only have Underground.. oneshow isn't really diverse. Hopefully they announce another show soon.

No! Highest rated on WGN and it gets cancelled? Just continue to ruin tv for everyone. More diverse? Let's not give them time to do more. Jerks.
