Outlander (TV series) was renewed for a third and fourth season in response to the audience's reaction.
 The series was officially picked up by Starz in January 2023 with a 10-episode first season, while announcing the parent series had been renewed for an eighth and final season
 Starz CEO Chris Albrecht later said that he had green-lit several genre projects, including Outlander, to shift the network's series development toward "audiences that were being underserved" to "drive a real fervent fan base that then becomes the kind of advocacy group for the shows themselves"
