The news we’ve been waiting for all year has arrived!
Starz has set a date for the series premiere of Outlander:
Saturday, August 9th at 9 PM ET/PT.
Last week, Starz premiered the new trailer, which you can watch here. An August premiere date makes sense, even though I was hoping for June date. Along with the date, Starz also revealed the official key art with the tagline, “What if your future was the past?”
According to the official press release:
The poster depicts Claire (Caitriona Balfe), a married British combat nurse from 1945 who mysteriously falls back in time to 1743 Scotland, where she is torn between her husband Frank Randall (Tobias Menzies) and Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), a Scottish warrior who comes to her rescue. The image represents Claire’s physical and emotional journey. At the start of the series, she is a woman who has been transported into the past, but she’s reaching back and trying to stay connected to the life and husband that are now beyond her reach. Starz collaborated with The Refinery and photographer Frank Ockenfels 3 to create the key art which was shot on location in the Scottish highlands.
I like the concept of the poster, but doesn’t it look to oddly photo-shopped? There’s something off about the quality.
What do you think of the release date and new poster?
