Starz’s new time-traveling original series “Outlander” will premiere Aug. 9 at 9 p.m., the network said Thursday, while also releasing key art for the drama.
“Outlander,” executive produced by Ronald D. Moore (“Battlestar Galactica,” “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”), follows Claire Randall (played by Caitriona Balfe). She’s a married British combat nurse from 1945 who’s transported back to 1743, where she must navigate the hidden dangers of 18th century Scotland, an unknown world where her freedom and very life are at risk.
