Outlander TV series

[cajunmom]

Sorry to butt in...I don't normally post here (MM is my "home" board) but I thought I'd share.

I know that most people know already that Outlander is being developed by Starz. We just found out that Diana signed contracts with Starz yesterday and the series will begin filming in Scotland in the fall (September, I think) and should begin airing in Spring 2014.

I'm late to the thread but feel free to post more often - we don't move nearly as fast as MM but at least some of us enjoy Outlander.

I misssed the FB update! Ahhhhh! So I have what - a year before I have to get Starz?

[hopecounts]

Yep. Tentatively planned for spring 2014.
I'm planning my campaign for adding it right now.

I don't know how I feel about a screen adaptation. I just know it's going to fall short!

Ahhh, I can't wait that long! I'm almost finished with the 3rd book in the series right now and I just love, love, love these books. We will definitely be adding Starz to our Dish package!

I think if they did it right, it could have lots of merits on its own. Those books are HUGE but still there are some scenes/scenerios, situations, I think there will be much more freedom to enhance and even make longer because it's a TV series.
