Outlander to return for season 3 in September

Outlander will return for a third season in September 2017 exclusively to Amazon Prime Video in the UK it has been announced.

The series, based on Diana Gabaldon’s international best-selling books, will base its third season on the Yoyager book. Production will move from Scotland to Cape Town, South Africa in March.

The new season began filming in September 2016 and is expected to wrap in June 2017.

The story picks up right after Claire (Caitriona Balfe) travels through the stones to return to her life in 1948. Now pregnant with Jamieā€™s (Sam Heughan) child, she struggles with the fallout of her sudden reappearance and its effect on her marriage to her first husband, Frank (Tobias Menzies).

Meanwhile, in the 18th century, Jamie suffers from the aftermath of his doomed last stand at the historic battle of Culloden, as well as the loss of Claire. As the years pass, Jamie and Claire attempt to make a life apart from one another, each haunted by the memory of their lost love. The budding possibility that Claire can return to Jamie in the past breathes new hope into Claireā€™s heart… as well as new doubt. Separated by continents and centuries, Claire and Jamie must find their way back to each other.

As always, adversity, mystery, and adventure await them on the path to reunion. And the question remains: When they find each other, will they be the same people who parted at the standing stones, all those years ago?

Steve Kent, Senior Executive Vice President, Programming, Sony Pictures Television said, “With the scope of the production and all of the intricate details that go into the EmmyĀ®-nominated sets and costumes, we had to make sure everything is kept to the high standard of the previous seasons and Diana Gabaldonā€™s beautiful story. Weā€™re so proud of the incredible work that Ron and the Outlander team have done.ā€

Outlander will attend San Diego Comic Con again this summer.
