Starz was very happy with the early reception of their new Outlander TV show so they gave it an early season two renewal. The cable channel has often given quick renewals but the series are then often cancelled after two seasons. Will Starz regret giving Outlander a second year order so soon? Would it have been cancelled if they had waited?
The Outlander series revolves around Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe), a married combat nurse from 1945. She finds herself mysteriously thrown back in time, to 1743 Scotland, and forced to marry another man to save her life. A passionate affair is ignited. The rest of the cast includes Sam Heughan, Tobias Menzies, Graham McTavish, Gary Lewis, Annette Badland, Stephen Walters, Laura Donnelly, Lotte Verbeek, James Fleet, Duncan Lacroix, Roderick Gilkison, Simon Callow, Grant O’Rourke, Bill Paterson, and Simon Meacock.

What do you think? Do you like the Outlander TV show? Do you think it should have been renewed for a second season or cancelled instead?
Watched the first season with a friend, Would have been a great story to watch but it was ruined by all the sex scenes. We do not mind the intent there is sex but it became more like a porn film then a story. TV is ruining movies with this complete show of sex acts all through them. My daughter said a friend told her that it was so bad she threw away her DVD of it, and my daughter says she will not watch it either. I am not getting any more seasons of it. Is this all these… Read more »

I love Outlander, I read most of the books years ago and this show has stayed true to the books! I am so impressed with the cast and look forward to every single new show. Please keep it going!
I love the series and think it should be renewed. To cancel it would be a travesty.
Outlander is such a good series!!! I loved the shows so much, that I have watched each episode over and over at least three times each. Now I’m reading all the books. I believe there are 8 books to this series and I plan to read them all with excitement!! Starz please renew the season 3 contract. I love the history, the times, the characters especially and all the stories! I’m looked!!
I think Outlander was wonderful. I read all the books and loved them. Our book club adored them. Could have done without such graphic sex scenes but the script and acting were perfect. Really hope they put it on Starz and get it out on DVD fast because we do no pay for Starz. Have to wait for DVD release.
I have not loved a show so much in a long time. I am tired of reality tv. I love to get into a series and not be able to wait for the next show. The story is so well put together you feel like your there. Thanks Outlander for giving us such a great story.
Outlander on Starz was a wonderful glimpse into the past…the scenery..the costumes but most of all the Cast made you feel as though you were transported back in time..being of Scottish heritage..I could imagine what it must have been like to live in that era. I hope that you please consider bringing back or continuing this wonderful series..
I agree
