Outlander fans, rejoice! Starz has committed to two more seasons of the historical romance series based on the novels by Diana Gabaldon.
“Starz Chief Executive Officer Chris Albrecht announced today the network has ordered “Book Three” and “Book Four” for the Golden Globe®-nominated STARZ Original series “Outlander,” the critically-acclaimed original series executive produced by Ronald D. Moore and adapted from Diana Gabaldon’s international bestselling books. Once again partnering with Sony Pictures Television, this is the first multi-book pickup for “Outlander,” assuring the series will run for several more years. The highly-anticipated second installment of the series premiered on STARZ in April 2016.
“Book Three” will be based on the third of the eight books in the Outlander series, entitled Voyager, followed by “Book Four” based on the fourth book in the series, Drums of Autumn.”
Currently, Outlander is just over halfway through its second season following Gabaldon’s second book in the series, Dragonfly in Amber. Outlander stars Caitriona Balfe as the lead, Claire Fraser and Sam Heughan as her 18th century husband, Jamie Fraser.
Outlander has been incredibly faithful to the series and I’m excited to see where Starz takes the story, but I am curious how certain events like time jumps and children will be handled in future season. That said, they’ve done well so far, so I see no reason not to trust them now.
Outlander airs Saturdays on Starz at 9pm EST.
