What’s This TV Show About?
A Starz time travel drama, Outlander stars Caitriona Balfe as Claire Randall and Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser. The 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. Once she travels through the stones, back to her life in 1948, she has a lot to work out. 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.
Season Three Ratings

Telly’s Take
Fans don’t have to worry if Outlander will be cancelled or renewed for season four. Starz already picked up the fourth installment, back in 2016. And although its demo numbers dropped off slightly in season two, the total audience grew. Since Starz relies on paid subscribers, not ad revenue, it cares more about the latter measure.

5/9/2018 update: Starz has renewed Outlander for season five and season six. Season four will debut on a date TBD in November 2018. Details here.

Like many others who haved posted here, I too subscribe to Starz only to watch Outlander. Unfortunately, as impressive and enjoyable as this series is, I don’t have the time or patience to wait so very long between seasons.

There are other channels with great series out there (not many, I admit, but some) that do not leave their viewers hanging season to season. I’ll finish reading the books, save the monthly… Read more »
I love Outlander. It is my favorite show. I have watched it since it premiered. I have faithfully continued my Startz subscriptions to show support for this program. I also enjoy The Power. Outlander has great actors and production staff. Hope we get to see many more seasons. Thanks for renewing season 5 and 6. Just wish there weren’t long gaps between the seasons and unsure start dates.
Please do not cancel this series. Outlander is absolutely one of a kind! Each episode is exciting from start to finish! It’s as if I am actually there myself! The love between Jamie and Claire is so real! All the characters are outstanding! I ordered Starz just for “Outlander”. I cannot wait until Season 4 comes out. I even have my sister, sister-in-law, and a good friend sign up on Starz to watch it and they are absolutely “hooked”! What an outstanding story you have created. This is what keeps me with Starz – an outstanding Company that is not… Read more »

I love historical fiction. And the story of Clair and Jamie has been fun .
I myself look forward to the next chapter! !!!
We also have Stars because of Outlander! Ms. Gabaldon’s books and the Outlander TV series are a big cut above the typical commercial programming.
