Beverly Hills, CA – September 25, 2014 – Two days before the first half of season one concludes with the mid-season finale this Saturday, September 27th at 9pm ET/PT, Starz announced that its hit series “Outlander” will return with the remaining eight episodes from season one on Saturday, April 4th, 2015. The critically – acclaimed series adapted from Diana Gabaldon’s international best-selling books and executive produced by Ronald D. Moore (“Battlestar Galactica,” “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” “Star Trek: The Next Generation”) has already been picked up for a second season.

Approximately 3.8 million Live+3 viewers tuned in for the series highly-anticipated seventh episode, titled “The Wedding,” to finally witness the beloved characters Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) become man and wife in 18th century Scotland, the most on STARZ since episode 5 of “Spartacus: Vengeance” in February 2012. “The Wedding” performance represents a 19 percent increase from the week prior on “Outlander,” and a 38 percent increase since the series premiere episode. “Outlander” fans made “The Wedding” appointment viewing by flocking to the premiere of the episode on Saturday with 2.07 million Live+SD Saturday viewing and 1.23 million Live+SD viewers tuning in for the Saturday 9PM ET/PT episode premiere, both series highs. Through the first 4 episodes, more than 5 million average viewers have watched each episode of the hit series.*

The mid-season finale this Saturday, September 27th at 9pm ET/PT finds Frank (Tobias Menzies) desperately searching for his missing wife, while Claire tries to come to terms with her new marriage to Jamie. Claire is faced with an emotional quandary as a life-altering opportunity presents itself.

The “Outlander” series spans the genres of romance, science fiction, history, and adventure in one epic tale. It follows Claire Randall as she navigates the hidden dangers of 18th century Scotland, an unknown world where her freedom and very life are at risk. When she is forced to marry Jamie Fraser, a chivalrous and romantic young Scottish warrior, a passionate affair is ignited that tears Claire’s heart between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

Diana Gabaldon’s eight-book series has sold more than 25 million copies worldwide, and six of the books have graced the New York Times best-seller list. “Outlander” is produced by Tall Ship Productions, Story Mining & Supply Company and Left Bank Pictures in association with Sony Pictures Television.

Starz retains all domestic multiplatform pay TV rights to the original series.

  6. That is a long wait. Well, I´m just glad it will be back.
    Most of my favorite shows have short seasons, so I´m use to the long wait.

  11. No! April?! Come on!

    Did you know that it took almost a year to shot 1st season (from October 7, 2013 to September 24, 2014; there were 202 days of shooting). The cast and crew deserve a vacation, but I hope they will begin working on S02 soon and we'll see S02 in 2015.

  13. That kind of sucks. Probably want to give people plenty of time to catch up with the episodes so far, and promote the second half though, so that's cool. I enjoyed the pilot was waiting until the episodes went up on Google Play and iTunes which they will any day now (I hope) but I thought the show would be back by February. :/ I guess I could watch the aired episodes and then read the book.

  15. Am I the only one who is amused by the wording of the release? "Highly anticipated wedding"? For book readers, perhaps, but just imagine you are watching the show with no prior knowledge whatsoever...I don't think that there was a lot of anticipation at this point because, well, the characters barely know each other at this point. It's hardly the big romance of the century (yet).

  16. Well that captures my feelings perfectly.
