Amazon Prime Instant Video UK has secured exclusive streaming rights to Outlander, the Starz historical drama based on Diana Gabaldon’s bestselling novels. The announcement ensures UK viewers will be able to stream the acclaimed time-travel romance series.
The story follows Claire Randall, a World War II nurse who is mysteriously transported back to 18th-century Scotland. There, she becomes entangled in the Jacobite rebellion and forms a complicated relationship with a Scottish warrior named Jamie Fraser.
Outlander blends rich historical detail with romance, action, and science fiction, offering a genre-spanning experience. The show has been praised for its strong writing, lush visuals, and powerful performances by Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan.
Amazon’s acquisition strengthens its growing catalogue of premium dramas and gives Outlander a prominent platform in the UK. The first eight episodes were made available immediately, with the second half of season one following shortly after.
The series’ popularity continues to grow, with additional seasons already in production. Its compelling narrative and international acclaim make it a valuable addition to Amazon’s lineup.
