Outlander Headed to More4

More4 has acquired the hit time-travel drama series Outlander, the first season of which will debut in the U.K. later this month.

An adaptation of Diana Gabaldon’s best-selling books, the historical epic is produced by Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica, Philip K Dick’s Electric Dreams). Outlander follows the story of Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe), a married WWII combat nurse from 1945 who mysteriously falls back in time to 1743. She is thrown into an unknown world and her life is threatened.

More4 picked up the show in a deal with Sony Pictures Television. In the U.S., Outlander is a Starz original series.
