"Outlander" is currently filming its second season, which will see Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe) away from Scotland as the two will now be living as aristocrats in France while they try to find Charles Stuart and attempt to change history by preventing the killings at Culloden Moor.

While the first season showed the pair roughing it in Scotland as they tried to evade Black Jack Randall and his men, season 2 will show them sumptuously dressed in the latest Parisian fashions as they pose as wealthy wine importers and make appearances in the King's Court.

Their time in France will be fraught with danger as they make new enemies and forge new friendships with some new characters. Claire will be making friends with a mysterious apothecary owner named Raymund, and she will also form a bond with the Mother Superior of a Parisian abbey named Mother Hildegard, to be played by Frances De La Tour. Meanwhile, Jamie will be regarded as a close friend of Charles, but he and Claire are also about to have a dangerous new enemy, who happens to be their biggest rival in the wine trade.

The second season of the historical series is based on Diana Gabaldon's second book in the "Outlander" novels titled "Dragonfly in Amber." Season 2, which cuts between 18th century France and post-World War I, will have 13 episodes when it returns to Starz. At Comic Con San Diego last July, executive producer Ronald D. Moore said that the story will return to Scotland halfway through the season.

The series has been well-received by fans and has attracted a lot of female viewers, and according to Deadline, the show's first season saw an average of 4.9 million viewers during its 16-episode initial run. The network likely saw the show's promise, as "Outlander" was renewed for a second season less than one week after its premiere.

Even Moore is looking forward to doing more seasons for "Outlander," as he told a Twitter follower during an "Outlander" Q&A that the story will end "When Diana gets tired."

Gabaldon recently revealed that she is working on the ninth installment of the novel and that the goal is for book 9 to come out "concurrently with the third season of the show if we get a third season."

As for season 3, Moore told another Twitter fan that they are "thinking and talking about it right now." "Won't get official pick up for a while but need to plan ahead," he said.

"Outlander" season 2 is expected to premiere on Starz in 2016.
