Outlander is Back April 4th: A Guide to Everyone’s Favorite Romantic Time-Travel Adventure
It seems like only yesterday the first half of season one of Outlander ended in a serious cliffhanger, leaving fans staring at their televisions in horrified disbelief. We would have to wait until April for the season to continue?! Unthinkable! Unconscionable! What were we supposed to do until then? Fortunately our immense patience has been rewarded, and the return of Claire and Jamie on Saturday, April 4th is nigh.
For those who have not yet had the pleasure of watching the adventures of one of literature’s steamiest couples come to life on Starz, it’s not too late to catch up. The first half of season one was tantalizingly short, although it packed quite a punch, so don’t be afraid to pick up the DVD and bingewatch the whole delightful clutch of episodes. It’s a good move whether you’re jumping in and watching from the beginning, filling yourself in on the episode or two you missed, or just getting the story fresh in your mind before the show’s return. Best of all, when you reach the cliffhanger, you will be secure in the knowledge that you have very little time to wait until the show resumes.

The second half of season one is set to pick up right where we left off. For the uninitiated, beautiful, happily married WWII nurse Claire Randall has mysteriously traveled through time while on holiday in Scotland and has found herself in the year 1743. After escaping myriad dangers and winning admirers thanks to her quick wit and steely spine, for her own safety and well-being Claire is compelled to marry a handsome Scottish stranger in order to be adopted into his clan. (We should all have such problems.) Although she is desperate to flee her newfound kinfolk and find a way back to her own time, Claire also depends on them to protect her from the hazards of the 18th century—including thieves and redcoats. As the first half of season one reaches its heart-stopping conclusion, Claire has potentially found a way to travel back to the 1940s and be reunited with her modern-day husband, Frank. One thing is for certain: Whether you’re new to the tale or a longtime fan, you’re likely already on the edge of your armchair wondering where the show is going to take us next.

If you’re a fan of this gorgeous, beautifully done adaptation but have not yet given the books a whirl, I challenge you to take your fandom to the next level by digging into the beloved novels that started it all. If you think the world presented to you on screen is captivating, prepare to be gobsmacked by the splendor and richness of what author Diana Gabaldon has created in eight mesmerizing books (and counting). Not only will you enjoy the books, but watching an onscreen adaptation of a novel or series is always better when you have read the source material—and everyone loves being the person bellowing, “That’s not how it happened in the book!” Each novel in the Outlander series is long—but trust me, it’s still never long enough. They are enormously readable, and if you’re worried about lugging around a massive tome, there’s always the magic of ereaders. Do yourself a favor and get reading—or get caught up with the first part of season one! April 4th will be here far too soon (and not soon enough)!
