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?
I cannot get enough of Outlander….we need more episodes……
A generational savvy series. Keep it going! Young and old alike, love it.
It gets better every episode!
Definitely an Emmy winner.
Starz should start writing scripts for the next 10 seasons, at least.
If you drop this show I think you’ll regret it.
Definitely a great show that needed to be renewed.
LOVE the show!!!!
It is fabulous!! loving all that Ron Moore is doing. Actors are exceptional.See the characters come to life. It is like fine wine. It will get better and better. It will leave you wanting more!!!
I LOVE this show and it should run For as long as possible the history, The chemistry of the Actors, the Scenery, I LOVE it all It is my Next favorite show after Game of Thrones!!
Love the show!
Love this series.
The scenery is
fantastic too.
The supporting
cast are excellent.
Im addicted to this show! But I also read the books so I know what’s coming up. I think viewers will increase once Jamie and Claire get together. The story has to build. This is my new favorite show.
I hope the show continues so we see episodes fro each book. The chemistry between the actors, the history, the story, and the scenery all combine to keep me at the edge of my seat.
Thank you, Starz for bringing Outlander to the screen!
Love the show and very happy to hear it is being renewed. I plan on reading the books and/or will purchase the book on tape.
It should definitely be renewed! I love the books and I think they’ve done a great job!
I think that the viewers will be increasing when the true love and passion is made obvious between Jami and Claire. So its time!!! And the viewers will go OMG.
