Billy The Kid is coming to an end with a third season. MGM+ has renewed the western drama series for a third season. Tom Blyth, who stars as the titular character, returns for the eight-part final run.
Billy The Kid, the real-life outlaw, died at the age of 21 after having killed around two dozen people. The series, which was created by Tudors and Vikings creator Michael Hirst, premiered in April 2022 on what was then known as Epix and the second season premiered on the rebranded MGM+ in October 2023.
