Starz renews Outlander for season 2
Last week, Starz premiered the handsome, well-reviewed fantasy drama Outlander. The network is clearly happy with the show's warm reception; with just a single episode under its belt, Outlander has already been picked up for a second season.
In a nod to the series' literary origins, Starz has dubbed Outlander's second season "Book Two." The second season will be based on author Diana Gabaldon's Dragonfly in Amber, and will consist of at least 13 episodes.
