Outlander Season 3 Trailer
The first Outlander Season 3 trailer arrived with The White Princess premiere episode on Saturday night, but didn't arrive online until just now. Luckily, we have it for you!
Here's the new official synopsis for Outlander Season 3:
In Season Three of “Outlander,” the story picks up right after Claire travels through the stones to return to her life in 1948. Now pregnant, she struggles with the fallout of her sudden reappearance and its effect on her marriage to her first husband, Frank. Meanwhile, in the 18th century, Jamie suffers from the aftermath of his doomed last stand at the historic battle of Culloden, as well as the loss of Claire. As the years pass, Jamie and Claire attempt to make a life apart from one another, each haunted by the memory of their lost love. The budding possibility that Claire can return to Jamie in the past breathes new hope into Claire’s heart… as well as new doubt. Separated by continents and centuries, Claire and Jamie must find their way back to each other. As always, adversity, mystery, and adventure await them on the path to reunion. And the question remains: when they find each other, will they be the same people who parted at the standing stones, all those years ago?
And here's that trailer we've been promising you...
Outlander Season 3 Release Date
The Outlander Season 3 premiere date is coming in September. They haven't picked an actual day for it yet, but at least we now know the month. In the mean time, if you want to catch up on Outlander season 2, be sure to check out our complete episode guide.
“While ‘Droughtlander’ will last just a little longer, we feel it is important to allow the production the time and number of episodes needed to tell the story of the Voyager book in its entirety,"Carmi Zlotnik, President of Programming for Starz said in a statement. "The scale of this book is immense, and we owe the fans the very best show. Returning in September will make that possible.”
Does this mean we'll get a longer season, too?
