Outlander‘s season 2 air date has finally been announced, and now we have some extra information as well.
As we correctly predicted some time ago, April 9 is the air date for season 2 of Outlander. Starz has also released an image of Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe) in Versailles. Claire is wearing the infamous red dress that will delight book fans.
According to Starz, “(the image) is a first look at their teaser art featuring Outlander couple Claire Randall Fraser (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) on the steps of Versailles. Instead of swords and guns, they’re armed with political savvy and the finest 1700s Parisian fashion as they embark on their new mission – infiltrating the French aristocracy and rewriting history. The new image gives viewers a taste of what’s to come in this exciting and dangerous next chapter – old world lavishness mixed with a sense of new world urgency.”
Cast and crew were delighted to finally be able to share the date. Multiple messages to the fans appeared on social media from the cast and showrunners.

All-in-all, the image makes for an exciting teaser ahead of what should be a dynamic season. Season 1 of Outlander was all about Claire trying to get back to her own time, and then later about her and Jamie finding their way as husband and wife. Season 2 is all about the potential to change history. Can it be done? What are the ramifications of changing a large event, or perhaps a smaller, personal one?
Outlander’s season 2 has a cast that has more than doubled in size from season 1. If you want a virtually spoiler free look at who is cast and what their roles are, check out our Outlander season 2 casting guide. The one section that contains major spoilers is clearly marked and easily avoidable.
