If you have been watching Outlander, then you might have stumbled on a gem of a television show that not many have ever heard about. Outlander is an American-British drama series that you can find on the Starz network. The second season is about to start and with it will come some nice twists and other story lines that should keep you interested, according to sources. The television show premiered on August 9th of last year and it follow a World War II nurse in 1945 that find herself sent back to Scotland in 1743.
The television show is based on the novels by Diana Gabaldon and is created by Ronald D. Moore. The nurse, played by Caitriona Balfe, encounters a Highland warrior and the story followers her life with the Jacobite risings in the time period. The show has been getting pretty good ratings and the second season was announced a while ago already so fans should be ready when it airs sometime next year. Because the first season of Outlander aired months ago, fans could expect the second season to air in the early part of the year.
The finale left plenty of questions for the fans that are into the show, as it should and the author of the novels has revealed the challenges the characters are going to have to face in the new season. Challenges will be based on the second book in the series called “Dragonfly in Amber”, if that leads you to any plot or story line.
The finale was done months ago and there might be some that have yet to watch it. With that being said, there are spoilers all over the web so you should be careful about what you are reading. According to Gabaldon, there are very few people that have a clue what challenges faced those that were on set for the first season. Fans are complaining about the delay, but of course, they have no clue what goes into making an episode for a dramatic series like Outlander. Gabaldon revealed that it could take up to eight weeks of production time, including the filming and post-production, just to make one episode.
Not only that, if there are day time scenes, the day starts very early and that can play a major role in the cast getting scenes right and ready for film. With so much going into one episode, it only makes sense that some dramatic, hour long shows are completed within ten episodes per season. When Outlander makes sixteen episodes per season, you can just sit back and imagine the amount of time that it takes to pull that off. In many ways, it might make you appreciate the show even more, knowing how much work goes into one.
