Billy the Kid Renewed for Season 3; Not Returning for Season 4

Billy the Kid is set to ride into its final showdown, as MGM+ has renewed the Western period drama for a third and concluding season. Series creator Michael Hirst expressed his excitement, stating, “I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to write the third and final season... the odds are truly stacked against him.”

Tom Blyth stars as the infamous outlaw, with Sheriff Pat Garrett, played by Alex Roe, relentlessly pursuing him. As the story reaches its climax, viewers can expect Billy to confront his fate, fighting fiercely for the justice that has always eluded him, even if it comes at the ultimate cost.

With Hirst at the helm, fans can anticipate a gripping and emotionally charged conclusion to this compelling saga, as Billy’s journey reaches its inevitable end.

Billy the Kid premiered on MGM+ in April 2022 and quickly captured audience attention, returning for a successful second season split into two parts, with the latter airing this June. Season 2 even ranked among the top three most viewed original series in the network's history, highlighting its popularity.

The third and final season is set to premiere on MGM+ next year, bringing Billy’s thrilling saga to a close. It’s always bittersweet to see a beloved show end, especially one with such rich storytelling and character development. Are you excited for the finale, or will you miss following Billy’s journey?
