“‘Outlander’
is like nothing seen before on television,” Starz CEO Chris Albrecht said
in a statement. “From its depiction of a truly powerful female lead
character, to the devastating decimation of the Highlander way of life, to what
is a rarely seen genuine and timeless love story, it is a show that not only
transports the viewer, but inspires the passion and admiration of its fans. On
this 25th anniversary of the publication of the first book in the
U.S., we are thrilled and honored to be able to continue the story that began
with author Diana Gabaldon, and is brought to life by the incredibly talented
Ronald D. Moore. There are no better storytellers for ‘Outlander’ than this
team, both in front and behind the camera.”

“The
world of Jamie and Claire is expansive and emotionally complex,” Jamie
Erlicht and Zack Van Amburg , Presidents, U.S. Programming and Production for
Sony Pictures Television, the studio behind the show, said in a joint
statement. “The audience has rewarded Outlander with their praise and
loyalty, and we know we will deliver the best seasons yet  in the years
ahead.
