Although the Outlander TV show dropped in the 18-49 year old viewer demographic in season two, the total audience actually grew by nearly five percent. Because premium cable networks rely on paid subscribers — rather than ad revenue — audience growth is more important than a show’s demo numbers. Starz was quick to respond to that growth and renewed Outlander through its fourth season, back in June of 2016. Can it build on its success? Will Outlander be cancelled or renewed for more seasons on Starz? Stay tuned.
A time travel drama, Outlander, stars Caitriona Balfe as Claire Randall and Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser. The Starz cast also includes Tobias Menzies, Duncan Lacroix, Lotte Verbeek, Laura Donnelly, Steven Cree, Grant O’Rourke, Richard Rankin, and Sophie Skelton.
Outlander, season three, is based on the third novel in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander book series, Voyager. It picks up right after Claire (Balfe) leaves Jamie (Heughan) behind in the 18th century, and travels through the stones, back to her life in 1948. Now expecting Jamie’s baby, Claire must deal with her first husband, Frank (Menzies) and his reaction to her disappearance and return. Meanwhile, back in time, Jamie struggles with the aftermath of his doomed last stand at the Battle of Culloden, as well as the loss his soul mate. **Status update below.

Don’t cancel Outlander. You need to renew it. Best show on earth
Please continue please… It’s the best show and story
I watched each episode of season 3 multiple times, either at midnight or early morning.
These numbers gotta be hosed up-I know Many women watching this in my age group 55-70, who love a good series like Outlander. We love it! Keep the series
For myself, I see no reason to have Starz other than Outlander. Definitely renew!!!
I subscribe to Starz because of Outlander. Excellent show!!! Actors, location, directors, everyone associated with this show is excellent. Keep it coming.
It amazes me how well this writing, production, and directing team manage to get so much of the rich and powerful detail from Diana Gabaldon’s books into this series. The cast is fantastic and conveys all the emotional depth of the story.
I absolutely love the books and the series is a phenomenon not to be missed. It would be a great loss at any point not to continue this entire epic through the end of all Diana’s books. The wealth of history alone gives it rank but the timelessness of this love affair is transcendent.
Like our politics our American TV is an embarrassment, an affront to our intelligence. Starz,hbo,netflix show us what TV can be. Outlander is incredible. The acting so believable, the costumes, nature shown as a beautiful backdrop. Following the books as closely as possible… hell both the books and series have encouraged me to research history of Scotland, the Gaelic language and life in 1700. And you ask should it continue? ha..a series of history, an enduring love and sex scenes that make you sigh. That’s a money maker, a women breaker and a series that have a fan base from… Read more »
I have only started watching Outlander last month so I had to watch it from season one to season 3 you know what I really don’t know why I waited so long . Outlander is my favourite show ever . I have watched the 3seasons twice . ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Outlander and will never get sick of it at all.
It should continue definitely❗️I love this show!
If you continue Outlander I will continue with my Starz subscription. I loved Black Sails too. Every time you get hit you quit as the fan base increases. The next book with it in young America will bring in huge amount of fans. In my opinion this season could have been written better. Just stating my opinion. I really wouldn’t like the show to be cancelled.
I just binge watched the whole series so far. I do not get the channel that it comes on. Loved it and I have to have more. PLEASE!! I have never been so addicted to a show before. 11/28/17
Yes, surely renewed for many more seasons!!!! I’m from Brazil and this is one of the best!!!!
I love Outlander and have been watching Series 1 it here in the UK on a digital station – which I hope renews it – and Series 3 on Amazon Prime. For some reason Starz/Amazon have not promoted the series widely in England. Having read all the books I hope the series continues to include Book 5 – The Fiery Cross. I love the Jamie/Claire love story and I really am not interested in Brianna and Roger . I personally think Book 6, 7 and 8 are too convoluted with different plots and I found them not as well written… Read more »
Renew for season 4 plus! Only reason why I keep starz!
