Searing time-travel saga Outlander has been renewed for two more seasons by Starz.
The third season will be based on the third of the eight books in Diana Gabaldon’s novels, entitled Voyager, followed by Season 4 based on the fourth book in the series, Drums of Autumn.
“Starz Outlander is like nothing seen before on television,” CEO of Starz Chris Albrecht. “From its depiction of a truly powerful female lead character, to the devastating decimation of the Highlander way of life, to what is a rarely seen genuine and timeless love story, it is a show that not only transports the viewer, but inspires the passion and admiration of its fans.
“On this 25th anniversary of the publication of the first book in the U.S., we are thrilled and honored to be able to continue the story that began with author Diana Gabaldon, and is brought to life by the incredibly talented Ronald D. Moore. There are no better storytellers for Outlander than this team, both in front and behind the camera.”
Star Sam Heughan recently told TV Tonight, he envisaged staying with the show for some time.
“As long as they’ll have me. We’ve now done 2 seasons and 2 books. There are 8 books and Diana is writing a 9th I think. So we’ll see, it’s a long process,” he said.
“As long as people enjoy the show and story we’re telling, I’m happy to be a part of it.”
It screens in Australia on SoHo.

Very excited about that ,love the show and the books 🙂
Yes! Great news. In reality, there is so much content in each book that they should be using two seasons for each. The other good thing is that as the story progresses there is a lot less of the “Frank” storyline, and much, much more of Jamie.
