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?

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?
It seems that they don’t really care what all of us think, it’s cancelled anyway… the same thing happened with ‘Longmire’….. I agree with a previous comment… Tired of reality shows…. Thankfully’ Longmire was picked up by another broadcast network… Not happy about “Outlander”….
Outlander has not been cancelled. Season 2 is being filmed as we speak and will air Mar/Apr 2016. Official word has not come yet on a third season, but the production crew is starting preparations
When I ask a simple question such as,
Is outlander canceled? A yes or no, or we don’t know yet answer would be sufficient! !
No
I hesitate to believe the results of a poll that covers a demographic that cuts off at 49. Sorry, you fall far short of those who actually read the books and watch the show. Make it 19 to 99 and you might get a better reading. This is one of the best, true to the author series on TV. The director believes in the book and is striving to be true to the author. The stars are stellar and if this series is cut, it won’t be for lack of viewers, it will be from misleading polls. Viva Outlander!
Love t this tv show I pray to God doesn’t get cancelled All of my family watches it on demand
Love the Outlander can’t wait for the next season
Outlander is the best show ever! I hope it gets renewed for many more seasons! I never loved a show or books as much as I have enjoyed outlander!!
I love the story! I am not a prude but I feel it is too explicit. The story is so beautiful and more time should be spent on things other than the negative. Looking forward to season 2!
It’s a cable TV show, of course it’s explicit. I’m outlander is the best show ever!!
It’s a cable TV show, of course it’s going to be explicit ! Outlander is the best show ever!!(you sound like a prude)
I LOVE Outlander!!!!!!!! And so do most people I know. Keep the show
I loved The Outlander series. Will it continue?
is their going to be a season 3 of outlander I loved the books and the show
I loved the books and was very exited with the fact that the TV series was done. I think putting these books into a tv series was brilliant and could not wait to see it. I was attracted to this books for the fantastic story of going to the past and the future and the history attached. I liked the series but I did not like the fact that so much sex and nudity was included in the episodes. I do not think this was the main reason why people liked the story and contrary I think that took away… Read more »
Have you seem Jamie and Claire they make a beautiful couple and with a
loving relationship comes sex. I thought it was very well done an hope they
bring it back for another season.
I enjoy the sex scenes and male nudity — I’ll admit that’s one of the reasons I watch. But I do wish they would develop the love story more. Jamie and Claire aren’t as close in the show as they are in the books. They seem very distant other than when they are having sex and it still feels too much like Claire’s true love is Frank.
I’m with you Raven on the sex scenes and nudity. No Frank, It’s Jamie all the way.
I love the series! I want more!! Is there going to be a season 3? I’m sick of reality and gangster shows
This show is one of my favorites! I hope they are renewed for several seasons. Beautiful scenery and excellent writers!
Love the show!!! Very smart, with action & even romance. Waiting for the next season, do not cancel!
Outlander is brilliant, leave it on the air!
I love Outlander and watch it every week as do alot of people I know
as well. Jamie is to die for and Claire is lovely and the series keeps you in
suspense of what’s coming next. Please renew for season 3 we all love it.
