It’s a busy day for Starz. The cable network has announced a bunch of new TV shows and premiere dates at the 2024 Television Critics Association (TCA) summer press tour. But let’s be real, nothing screams Starz more than its claim-to-fame in recent years: the sexy period drama .
And thankfully, Starz ends the “droughtlander,” as the fans have dubbed it, by serving up new photos for its return. The show, which aired part one of its seventh season in the summer of 2023, is back in November. The eight new episodes of part two follow Claire (Caitriona Balfe), Jamie (Sam Heughan), and Young Ian (John Bell) as they arrive in Scotland and brace for the Revolutionary War.
Meanwhile, Roger (Richard Rankin) and Brianna (Sophie Skelton) are back in their time in 1980 and face new enemies that can pull their family apart. So, you know, the usual. returns on November 22 at 8 p.
m. ET. The 10-episode eighth and final season is already in production.
But don’t worry, there’s still more to come from this Diana Gabaldon-created world. Starz is going further back in time with a prequel titled , which premieres in 2025. The new show centers on the lives of Claire’s parents, Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine), as well as Jamie’s parents, Jamie’s parents, Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy).
So it’s parallel love stories set in two different periods. It doesn’t just sound like the perfect follow-up to , but also lo.
