Just found this series on Netflix (here in USA) by chance and watched the whole lot and was stunned to find that season 2 is nowhere to be found... holey crap! I'm going to have bad dreams about this for months... too many unanswered questions bouncing around in my head… I would have really loved to see Julius get his..

Same here. I'm a Star Trek fan from way back, but Outcasts is by far the best show I've seen in a long time! I'm SO unhappy about the cancellation. I hope this matters to some company somewhere who will give this show a Season 2. In this day and age, Netflix and other online services are the way MANY people watch TV. The BBC needs to get into the 21st century!

The humanity of the characters contrasts vividly with e.g. the insipid, political-correctness and blandness of the 'Jean Luc Picard'-era Star Trek series. How THAT went season after season and Outcasts gets tossed after one is sad, and a sad commentary on the entertainment industry (on BOTH sides of the Atlantic!!). Perhaps its the acting but the extremely human and compassionate interplay between the Richard Tate character and the captain of the doomed transport in the first episode set the mark for a really inspiring, highly imaginary series. It was refreshing to know that in our future, true human qualities arent morphed away. Now if only the BBC could 'get it'.

This comment is for the "Outcasts" article. I have to thank the creators of this wonderful story. I watched the first episode on Netflix and was hooked, I ended up watching all the available episodes in one day. Yes there were some quarks but it was easy to loss your self in the story and you felt a connection with the cast after just one episode. I wish the BBC would at least let the story have a proper ending and address some of the many questions about the story that were in desperate need of an answer. Thanks to the creators of the show and the wonderful escape it provided, if only for a few hours. I will not soon forget it and the wonderful cast members that brought it to life.

Netflix viewer in Georgia, US. My husband and I really enjoyed this series. I was going to tell my daughter in Houston, TX to be sure and watch as I thought that season 2 was probably being aired by the BBC somewhere. I was interested enough to google to see how I could continue to follow the story and that is when I found out that the series had been cancelled. I am very disappointed...wonder if that matters...just in case it does, please give the show another chance.

Another American here... I saw this show on Netflix and ask myself where did this show come from. I like where this story was going. Its sad to see the show fall pray to stupid network ratings. The content providers have to change the business model on how they deliver content. Idea. Sell the show to Netflix or Put the series on kickstarter.com and I will be happy to pay, tweet, and tell everyone I know to support the funding for more episodes.

So disappointed that there won't be a second series of Outcasts. With all the reality shows on TV it was such a refreshing change to watch such a well scripted and entertaining show with great acting. I hope that this decision is revisited some time In the near future

I just finished watching this show on Netflix also and I loved it, to find out that it was cancelled is really sad. I hope that they do something with it instead of just leaving it hanging. As another person stated they can continue it on Netflix streaming at least, but I would prefer to see if get picked up again and if need be by another network. This is a great show and if it came back I would watch it no mater waht since I am a scifi junky and we have lost so many scifi shows here in the US.

This is a great show, much better than Terra Nova! Sorry the Brits didn't like it, they should give it a try here in the US. Maybe the SyFy channel will pick it up or maybe Netflix. We can only hope! I really want to know what happened to Earth and what awaits on the ship that just landed.

Australian here, really loved it. Wish it hadn't been cancelled. One of the few shows that I bothered to watch on TV rather than download.

Very rediculous that it was canceled after one season....and on only 8 episodes to boot!

Schlagsahne — Wed, 09 May 2012 02:21:54 -0000

Can not believe they cancelled this show! I loved it. What a bummer to get to the 8th episode and find there were no more. A suggestion for BBC-not follow the Amercian TV standards. Why do you think we watch so many British and Canadian series?

I too am an American and pretty much feel the same as most on here. This was a welcome change from the BS on TV here and a shame it was only one season, bad move BBC

I would like to see another season or two. As previous posts have said, good programs which make you think, develop characters, and question morality are few and far between. I wish at the very least that they would publish a book to finish the story line.

What an amazing show, especially at a time when there are so many canned laughter sitcoms and reality shows that are not even worth viewing time. PLEASE PLEASE bring back many more episodes of "Outcast". It is by far our favorite show.

US citizen here. I too found it on Netflix. I loved it, got to the 4th episode and decide to google it before I invested more emotion into it. Only to find out that once again a great show was cancelled before it's time.

Just finished watching the outcasts on Netflix here in the US and it sucks that it had to end like that. Hope they come up with something so i won't be hanging on the edge of my seat too long.

I really was unsure about this show. I am an American and have enjoyed some BBC shows but have been disappointed by many more. This show was deff one of the best shows i have seen. Again another netflix latecomer to the show and was very disappointed with the news of one season. I can only hope america decides to take it on like they do with all their shows that we steal from the britts. Wont be as good im sure but at least we would have more story to follow. Life on mars was a personal favorite and only 1 season. Maybe in the world of profit over Quality we should have more 1 season shows with def ends. Then if it takes off we could spin off or create a new story line to add on another season. Being left hanging is almost criminal to those who invest their time and love into these characters.

This is the last straw. I'm no longer going to watch network TV. It's true that I watched it on Netflix, but I'm sick of well cast, well written, well directed shows being cancelled while ridiculous shows like keeping up with the Karasians continue. Obviously networks don't care about quality television, just selling ads. I understand their model, but if they provide a few shows as loss leaders it would keep us watching their other crap.
If I can work out a way to just get Starz, Showrime, and HBO, I'll stick with those and Netflix.

After all expenses were paid to make the show happen, if there was even one dollar profit, wouldn't it be worth it to continue making a show that you loved? even if it isn't viewed by the 4 or 5m you hoped for, you would still be making a show that 3 million people watched.... I'd be proud.

Another great show cancelled. I'm very disappointed. It's like breaking up with SGU all over again. Oh well, life goes on, stop being so selfish everybody. What about the people who made the show? You think they are going to sign petitions and whine all day online?

Just finished Outcasts season 1 on Netflix and loved the series. I was very disappointed that the show was cancelled. I hope with all the fan support that there will at least be a TV movie finale or another network will pick up the show before the cast signs on to other projects.

I've been watching this show on Netflix in the US. I'm saddened that the show never has a chance to play out the themes it was developing. I miss the characters and I miss looking forward to it. I'm surprised how disappointed I am - I don't usually grow attached to television shows.
