Starz has just announced that their beloved Outlander series will be returning for seasons 3 and 4!

The double renewal is a sign of confidence from Starz, who clearly believes that they have a great show on their hands. The network has also confirmed that seasons 3 and 4 will cover Diana Gabaldon’s Voyager and Drums of Autumn respectively. Gabaldon’s full Outlander book series consists of eight novels.

CEO of Starz Chris Albrecht said in a press release, “Outlander is like nothing seen before on television. 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.”

“The world of Jamie and Claire is expansive and emotionally complex. The audience has rewarded Outlander with their praise and loyalty, and we know we will deliver the best seasons yet in the years ahead,” said Jamie Erlicht and Zack Van Amburg, Presidents, U.S. Programming and Production, Sony Pictures Television. “Starz has been an incredible partner and has truly helped shape this into one of the most iconic premiere series on the air today.”
