Both of them.Īs we already know, Season 2 will see Jamie and Claire head to France, hell-bent on infiltrating the Jacobite rebellion, led by Prince Charles Stuart, and stopping the battle of Culloden. Moore’s screen adaptation is, if anything, even simpler – the focus here is, first and foremost, on our unhappy couple.

Their situation is almost impossible to sum up in a sentence, especially with the addition of their daughter to the mix this season, but the cast are all so attuned to their roles by now that it’s easy to follow the intricate, intimate entanglements.

Season 2 starts this Sunday on Amazon Prime Video – Outlander’s exclusive UK TV home – within 24 hours of its US broadcast. The fact that running through it all was an empowering story of female identity was a bonus.
Chronicling the tale of 1940s nurse Claire (Caitriona Balfe), who found herself cast back in time to 1740s Scotland, where she fell in love with rugged Highland warrior Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), the show (based on Diana Galbadon’s novels) fused together history, fantasy, romance, action and Scottish accents to wonderfully unique effect – because it was so hard to pin down, it was simply unlike any other show around. Season 1 of Outlander was one of the TV highlights of last year. Come back after the episode’s release for additional, spoilery notes.
