Kathryn Busby, the president of original programming at Starz, said they’re thrilled to continue their creative partnership with showrunner Matthew B. Roberts, and executive producers Maril Davis, and Ronald D. Moore, as they continue to bring their excellent vision and creativity to this new series.

“Outlander is a riveting show that from season to season has captured the hearts of its fans around the world. We are excited to peel back the layers of this vibrant world to bring our audience the origin of where it all began,” said Busby in a statement.

This announcement comes a few months after Outlander author Diana Gabaldon confirmed she’s writing a prequel book about Jamie’s parents. In addition to writing novels that inspired the franchise, she also serves as consulting producer.

The sixth season of Outlander ended its run in May this year, and the next chapter is already on the way. Starz renewed the series for a 16-episode Season 7, based on Gabaldon’s book An Echo in the Bone.

Christina Davis, president of original programming for Starz, said they’re committed to investing in unapologetic, bold premium storytelling that amplifies diverse voices and shines a spotlight on women—and that perfectly describes this series.

“The hit series Outlander embodies everything about our Take the Lead initiative including a powerful female lead character and an amazing team of storytellers,” stated Davis.

Outlander centers on a Scottish World War II military nurse, who is mysteriously swept back in time and taken back to 1743. Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan play lead roles in this series, while the supporting cast of the upcoming season also includes Richard Rankin, Sophie Skelton, and John Bell.

Since its premiere in 2014, Outlander was met with critical acclaim and received nominations for numerous major awards, including the Emmys and Golden Globes. The production on Season 6 kicked off earlier this year, but it still doesn’t have an official release date.
