'Outlander' Renewed for Second Season By Starz!

The brand new Starz series Outlander has been renewed for a second season only one episode into the first season, the network announced today!

The second season will consist of 13 episodes and will be based on the second book in Diana Gabaldon‘s “Outlander” series, titled “Dragonfly in Amber.”

“The overwhelming support Outlander has received from the fans, viewers and critics made the decision for us to go ahead with the second book a very easy one. Diana Gabaldon has given us years of great drama. With an incredible artist such as Ronald D. Moore at the helm and a cast as spectacular as this, we look forward to continue this spell-binding journey with Claire, Jamie, Frank, Brianna, Roger and everybody over the centuries,” Starz CEO Chris Albrecht in a statement (via Variety).

Outlander stars John Heffernan, Nell Hudson, Caitriona Balfe, Sam Heughan. Check out Sam‘s Just Jared Spotlight feature in case you missed it!
