The makers of Outlander have done something wonderful for lovers of the show. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter,The interval between two consecutive seasons of Outlander, chastised by fans as 'Droughtlander,' will not last long this time.

Roberts further explained in the interview that Outlander was a beast of a show to produce. So if they took a break between seasons like other shows did, it would only leave them behind. Whatever his reasons are, fans will be overjoyed to know that the next season will be here much sooner than they think.

The finale for Season 2 is yet to premiere, being slated for the big release on July 9^th. And hearing news about the next season before the current one is wrapped up is definitely a positive sign.

There's more in store, as TV Guide reveals. Starz promises two seasons more, at least. So there's now a season 3 that's happening much earlier than we thought, and then a season 4 that'll follow up. The show, which is based on Diana Gabaldon's novels, intends to adapt the books Voyager and Drums of Autumn into the two upcoming seasons.

According to Cinema Blend, the new season of the series will focus on a voyage that Clair and Jamie will undertake together. The book on which the new season is based tells us the tale of how Claire travels back in time to the point right before the Battle of Culloden. She then returns to the 1700s, which is Jamie's time, and joins him in Edinburgh. That's where the voyage begins. And they sail up to Jamaica. Executive producer Ronald D. Moore is particularly excited about the special effects that this voyage will demand on the small screen.
