Billy the Kid Renewed for Third and Final Season at MGM+

It’s Billy the Kid’s last stand: The Western period drama has been renewed for a third and final season at MGM+, TVLine has learned.

“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to write the third and final season of Billy the Kid and bring this compelling saga to a close,” series creator Michael Hirst said in a statement. “Billy was famous for many things, not least his ability to escape from seemingly impossible situations. But now, as the Most Wanted Man in America, the odds are truly stacked against him.”

Tom Blyth (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes) stars as the legendary outlaw, who is on the run with Sheriff Pat Garrett (Alex Roe) hot on his trail. “As the final chapter in the saga comes to a close, Billy will fight like hell to try to finally find the justice that has long eluded him, even if it means he’ll die trying,” per the official description.

Billy the Kid debuted on MGM+ in April 2022 and then returned for a second season that was split into two parts, with the second part airing this June. Season 2 ranked among the top three most viewed original series in MGM+’s history, the network reports.

The third and final season of Billy the Kid is slated to premiere on MGM+ next year. Are you sorry to see Billy the Kid ride off into the sunset? Hit the comments to share your thoughts on the news.
