Outlander has been renewed for a third and fourth season on Starz!
The additional series will be based on Diana Gabaldon’s novels Voyager and Drums of Autumn.
The news was announced yesterday on the 25th anniversary of the publication of the first Outlander novel.
There are a total of eight in the series.
Starz CEO Chris Albrecht describes Outlander as like “nothing seen before on television”.
“From its depiction of a truly powerful female lead character, to the devastating decimation of the Highlander way of life, to what is a rarely seen genuine and timeless love story, it is a show that not only transports the viewer, but inspires the passion and admiration of its fans,” he adds.
Season two of Outlander is currently on SoHo in Australia.
This is the answer to an age-old question that we never knew we needed. Yep, we could not BE anymore excited.

For years the Friends gang always had a good (or slightly disgusted) time looking across the street into the apartment window of Ugly Naked Guy.
His face was never shown, even after Ross hung out with him (also naked) in his apartment.
But one determined Friends fan, Todd Van Luling, from Huffington Post got to the bottom of the investigation (it took him a year, by the way) and revealed his identity.
Ugly Naked Guy’s real name is Jon Haugen, and this is what he looked like at the time.
He told Huffington Post: “The reason I never came forward was because I was just keeping it mellow because Warner Brothers was keeping it mellow. They wanted everybody to have a guess who I was.
“I wasn’t really expecting them to call me back for me to do it again.
“It was the best time in my life. I was the man.”
And good news, both he and Ross, played by David Schwimmer, weren’t actually naked in that scene.
“We were just in boxer shorts and they made it look like we were naked.”
He added: “I was hoping they would bring me back and we’d do some more. Maybe we can create a buzz and get everybody back together.”

You can now own a piece of royal history, but it will cost you!
The gown to be auctioned is the late Princess’ blue sequined Catherine Walker number which boasts long sleeves, a slight V-neckline, a fitted waistline and a slit up the front.
It’s expected to go for a whopping £100,000, around $AUD198,958.
Diana, pictured in the dress which is up for acution, wore the stunning dress in Austria in 1986.
And again to the Diamond Ball in 1990.
The frock was a favourite of Diana’s, who wore the dress on multiple occasions, including during a 1986 state visit to Austria, to the Diamond Ball in 1990 and to the film premiere of Biggles back in 1993.
Diana herself first auctioned the glittering piece at Christie’s in NYC in June 1997, just three months before her untimely death at the age of 36 in a car accident in Paris.
In 2013, it was sold with Kerry Taylor Auctions for $USD131,000.
This time, the dress will be sold on June 14 through the-saleroom.com, an online antiques dealer.
Looking for something a little more demure? You can also buy this tartan number!
The Princess donned this coat during her 1985 Italy trip.
If green is your flavour but you want something with less glitter, the website has also listed another Diana classic.
Her teal tartan Emanuel B. Couture coat dress, worn when she visited Italy with Princes Charles in 1985, is also up for grabs…
Plus it is a bargain with the price starting at £10,000 (or approx. $AUD19,850).
The 15-year-old has announced she’ll be appearing as an extra in the Dance Academy movie.
“It is kind of an escape, being a character and all the things going on in your head don’t matter as they’re not relevant to the character,” she told The Daily Telegraph.
The high-school student clearly has a passion for acting as she’s taken classes at NIDA and also studies at Stage Artz in Dee Why.
“I just want to have fun with acting. I don’t care about fame and just want to meet good people and have fun.”
The bubbly teen – who is hoping to represent Australia at the 2020 Paralympics in swimming or rowing – also revealed that she would like to study acting in New York, with the hope that the industry will embrace people with disabilities.
“Characters with disabilities will most often be played by an able-bodied person,” she told The Daily Telegraph.
“They could easily get a disabled person to do it and it would be easier because they wouldn’t need any special effects.”

The Queensland Maroons victory of 6-4 in last night’s State of Origin match against the NSW Blues has been overshadowed by Maroons player Sam Thaiday’s post-match comment.
Commentator Brad Fittler approached Thaiday for his thoughts on the game and was stunned when he compared the win to losing your virginity. He said it was “a bit like losing your virginity – it wasn’t nice but we got the job done.”
Fittler was scrambling with something to say, coming up with “I’m not sure if I’ve got a second question.”
People have been divided over the comment, with the fierce NSW supporters at The Daily Telegraph putting on today’s front page ‘Sam Vileday’.
Some people agreed, writing on Twitter:
Others, including comedian Dave Hughes, laughed it off and applauded Thaiday for his colourful personality.
After being advised to miss the Battle of Jutland celebrations earlier this week, the 94-year-old royal has stepped out for the first time alongside his wife, The Queen.
Appearing the picture of good health, the Duke of Edinburgh stood alongside his wife of 68-years to welcome the President of Germany, Joachim Gauck, to Buckingham Palace on Wednesday.
The at-home appearance, which was held at Buckingham Palace, marked the first for the 94-year-old royal since he had to reluctantly pull out of the Battle of Jutland memorial service on Tuesday.
“Following doctor’s advice, the Duke of Edinburgh has reluctantly decided not to attend the commemorations marking the Battle of Jutland in Kirkwall and Hoy,” a statement from Buckingham Palace read.
“The Princess Royal, who was already attending the events, will represent the royal family.”
The 94-year-old appeared in good spirits to meet the German politician.
Despite the royal being unable to make the appearance, Queen Elizabeth’s husband was not admitted to hospital and had every intention to carry out the remainder of his official duties throughout the week – beginning with this warm welcome to the German President.

A former Scotch College music teacher has been charged with indecently assaulting four young girls as he gave them saxophone lessons at his home.
According to The Age, Yi Yang, or Allan Yang, indicated yesterday that he’d plead guilty to 16 charges of indecent assault on four girls over seven years 2006 to 2013.
The 51-year-old was running a business called the Melbourne Music Academy from his home in Kew between 2014 and 2015, and was confirmed to have been working at Scotch College between 2002 and 2009 – years which include his sexual crimes.
According to police documents, he touched, massaged and kissed young girls in his Kew home. He is also accused of touching the private parts of four girls, either under or over their clothes.
An investigation into Yang was launched by child abuse detectives last year. He was initially charged with four counts of committing an indecent act with a child under 16.
The Age reports that his social media accounts promote his 2013 performance in China as “the first-ever saxophonist to perform saxophone concerto with the Chinese National Symphony”.

The insider continued: “Adam is the one who ended it. It was all done in a very mature fashion.”
“Taylor is pretty upset but they are still in communication. Taylor was there for Adam with his accident and is supportive.”
The split is a shock to everyone.
“There was no drama,” another source told People magazine. “Things just don’t work out sometimes.”
Heartbreakingly, the couple only just celebrated their one-year anniversary by jet-setting off on a romantic tropical getaway.
At the time, Taylor posted an image of a golden locket with their anniversary date etched onto it and also shared a video of a celebratory cake and mused: “1 year…that was easy.”
