The 10-episode second season of the Outlander prequel will debut on Friday, September 18. Episodes will be available to stream at midnight on the Starz app, all Starz streaming and on-demand platforms at midnight. They will then make their linear debut the same day at 8/7c.
The first season introduced viewers to the two different, but equally passionate, love stories of Claire and Jamie's parents as they met and fought to be together against all odds.
After an unexpected journey back in time left Henry and Julia Beauchamp lost and separated in the sweeping highlands of 18th century Scotland, the first season culminated with the two finally reuniting at the standing stones of Craigh na Dun, hoping to return to their own time and their young daughter, Claire. Picking up at that moment, a distraught Julia is alone with their baby. Separated from his love and hope, Henry must grapple with his mental health, as he fights to find his way back to her.
Meanwhile, the forbidden relationship between Brian Fraser and Ellen MacKenzie seemed to conquer all odds, but their romantic escape was cut short as fiery crosses were lit and the 1715 Jacobite Rising began, thrusting the clans into war. In Season One, they chose each other over their families, but now they must prioritize their clan loyalties, as Brian fulfills his obligation to fight and Ellen seeks to make things right with her family.
As Season Two unfolds, the two young couples will be tested and separated once again by forces beyond their control, as every clan chooses a side in the rebellion.
The drama stars Jeremy Irvine, Hermione Corfield, Jamie Roy, Harriet Slater, Tony Curran, Séamus McLean Ross, Sam Retford, Rory Alexander and Conor MacNeill.
Matthew B. Roberts developed the drama and returns as showrunner. He executive produces with Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis, Toni Graphia, Luke Schelhaas, Michael Wilson, Jim Kohlberg and Luke Parker Bowles.
