How To Watch 'Outlander': Where Can You Stream Every Season?

Epic romance series Outlander has a new season coming out this month and fans couldn’t be more excited to watch what’s next for Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe), along with the rest of the lead characters. The main couple warmed hearts for years since the show premiered in 2014, instantly becoming a hit amongst historical fiction audiences. Based on the novels by Diana Gabaldon, Outlander is centered on British World War II nurse Claire Beauchamp, who is accidentally transported to Scotland in 1743 amidst the Jacobite revolution. As she tries to fit into that period, she falls for warrior Jamie Fraser (despite being married to Frank Randall before the time travel) and uses her knowledge of history to help him lead the Jacobites to victory despite the tragic outcome that awaits them.

Although much has happened since this initial plotline, Season 6 promises even more twist and turns as Claire recovers from the traumatic experience that she faced in Season 5’s finale. To get you prepped for the series’ upcoming chapter, here is a breakdown of which streaming services you can use to watch Outlander.

Here is what former Starz President of Original Programming Christina Davis said to The Hollywood Reporter about how the period drama fits the #TakeTheLead incentive, an initiative to further promote diverse voices and allow women to take the lead in and out of the camera.

“The hit series Outlander embodies everything about our initiative including a powerful female lead character and an amazing team of storytellers. We look forward to following the adventures of Claire and Jamie in America during the Revolution as well as more time travel during this next season.”

Is There an Outlander Spinoff?

Not only was the show renewed for Season 7 even before Season 6’s filming wrapped, but there is an additional source of excitement for die-hard fans. According to Variety, Starz has begun developing an Outlander prequel series. Although further details about the plot haven’t been revealed, showrunner Matthew B. Roberts will lead the new project as a writer and as a producer. The show’s creator, Ronald D. Moore, will be an executive producer in the prequel alongside Maril Davis. Sony Pictures Television will be studio backing up the project, just like the original series.

Despite the lack of confirmation on the overall storyline of the Outlander prequel, it could be possible that just like the books inspired the show, Diana Gabaldon’s prequel books could be the inspiration behind the spinoff. In 2013, the author released Virgins as part of the Dangerous Woman anthology series, which is centered on the young Jamie Fraser and Ian Murray during the 1740s. Gabaldon also revealed that she is planning to write a prequel focused on Jamie’s parents, Ellen MacKenzie and Brian Fraser. Here is the quote that the author shared on her Facebook account:

"Ellen MacKenzie, eldest of the children of Jacob Ruadh MacKenzie, chief of Clan MacKenzie—well, the late chief, if only by moments, but she’d think about that later—grabbed Ailidh Watt from behind and dragged her out of sight, clapping a hand over her slobbering mouth to stifle her cries."
