"Outlander" is currently on a mid-season break and will return next year in spring. The hit Starz drama is based on the novel of Diana Gabaldon. It offers a peek into the dramatic world of Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan). Ronald Moore developed the show.
Season 1's mid-season finale left the audience at a cliffhanger, when Claire was once again taken prisoner by Black Jack Randall. Moreover, the onscreen wedding of Sam and Balfe was met with much appreciation and it is speculated that the upcoming episodes will have more to offer in regard to their romance.
Balfe said in her recent interview with TV Guide that the reason "Outlander" has some extraordinarily romantic TV sequences is because of the chemistry and challenges shared by its lead characters Claire and Jamie. The previous episodes of "Outlander" season 1 can be seen here. The cast of the show includes Balfe, Heughan, Tobias Menzies, Graham McTavish, Stephen Walters and more.
