‘Outlander’ Renewed For Seasons 5 & 6 By Starz. Season 4 To Air In Autumn
Fear not, merry fans of Highlander-based time travel drama! ‘Outlander‘ has been renewed for not one, but two seasons US network Starz has announced.
The show follows the story of Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe), a married combat nurse from 1945 who is mysteriously swept back in time to 1743, where she is immediately thrown into an unknown world where her life is threatened. When she is forced to marry Jamie (Sam Heughan), a chivalrous and romantic young Scottish warrior, a passionate affair is ignited that tears Claire’s heart between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives. The series is adapted from Diana Gabaldon’s international best-selling books and exec produced by Ronald D. Moore.
The duo has been put through a lot in the first 3 seasons. Jamie being imprisoned. Claire suspected of being a spy. Torture by the sadistic “Black Jack” Randall. The doomed Jacobite uprising and the Battle of Culloden. A pregnant Claire separated by time from the love of her life, and stuck in a marriage with Frank. Believing Jamie to be dead, then discovering he’s alive, but returning to find him remarried. Adventures on the high seas, and finally being shipwrecked in Georgia.
“Fans can rest assured their beloved Claire and Jamie will be back facing new challenges, adversaries and adventures in Seasons 5 and 6 as we delve into American history and continue the story of the Frasers as they settle in the New World,” commented Starz boss Chris Albrecht.
The 4th Season of ‘Outlander‘ will follow the plot from the 4th book, ‘Drums of Autumn’, when it returns to our screens, appropriately, in the Autumn 2018 on Amazon Prime Video UK.
