Outlander: An Epic Adaptation | Behind The Scenes

[@robynNrylee]

I just watched this show embarrassingly fast and I’m not ashamed 😂 now I’m rewatching again to see what I missed. Such a beautiful work of art ❤

[@mcvenne8935]

Same! The episodes just flew by. I just finished season 6 and I need more!

[@abclmnop987]

I'm only on S5 but I did the same. It took me forever to finally watch this series (only ~3 months ago) and once I finished, I immediately rewatched it!

[@susannacorduva8870]

Same. I love it so much.

[@Nomi_Maps]

I'm here in 2024, watched Outlander for the first time. What a PHENOMENAL Series. Well done to everyone involved, from the crew to the cast. This is a solid 10/10!

Same here atm. ☺️

[@AlexMartinez-me2yc]

Such a GREAT show!! More happens in one episode, than happens in an entire season of any other show!!!! I just finished season 4 on Netflix & I'm anxious for more!! This is THE BEST show that I have ever watched.

[@coffeetea8577]

This show is partly the reason I spent three weeks of my summer holidays in Scotland. Although I didn’t get to explore the highlands - I went to Fife and the east coast-I still felt the magic of the braw land, no matter where you are, it captures you and will steal a piece of your soul. I miss it dearly and can’t wait to go back! ❤️❤️ so excited for S6, this show has EVERYTHING. Truly a wonderful story! 🥰🥰🥰

[@sandranorman5469]

My husband hears the music that starts the episode and to quote him. “It’s haunting”

[@vyeenglish6505]

I went to Scotland too, to follow the history of the show. The battlefield of Culloden felt almost sacred and haunting. I saw clan Fraser stone. I stayed in the highlands visited castles and cows and sheep and loved the haggis! I definitely want to go back again!

[@Fiona-eg7tf]

Can't wait for the new season!! Congratulations to Catriona balfe on the birth of her baby boy 🥰

"I was still thinking of the young scottish man the next day, in church.." lolll you know you've got a deliciously sinful idea right there

[@launabanauna8958]

*”Deliciously sinful.”* Perfect description!

[@patrickfennell6372]

The cast is so good. Great writing, but the actors are so good!

[@julietonuigbo4627]

For someone that just start this series at august of 2022, I am super happy and grateful. And oh! I couldn't imagine my Jamie without his Scottish accent. And lady Claire! I love and appreciate every single person that made this project a success.

[@teresapurdie1268]

I’m so happy beyond words that my husband stumbled across this wonderful series Outlander! So obsessed with this brilliant TV Romance, Love Love Love🙏🏼🧡❤️💜💃🏻🕺🏼

[@НадеждаЩербина-в3л]

Живу давно и пересмотрела тысячи разных фильмов и сериалов но то что сотворили Сем и Катрина выше всяких Оскаров. Эти двое невероятно талантливы. То с какой страстью, чистотой чувств были сыграны их роли это бомба, это шедевр на века. Два человека сделали фильм незабываемым. Браво!!!

[@AmyLSchulte]

Keep reposting these, Sony. We never tire of them. 💙

[@andreaschunzel4672]

The series is actually better than the books, at least in my opinion! I stumbled across the books while sitting at Heathrow one evening waiting for my delayed flight and Diana's first book "Outlander" was saved in my phone, so I started reading and never stopped. When I finally discovered the TV series, I couldn't believe how well the story was transferred, even better than the books. I read a lot and watch less movies, usually I'm disappointed with the adaptation, but with Outlander it was the other way around. Great job by all involved!

[@noussabjh41]

I agree. Some part of show much better than book but I m reading them and they are good what I did not in show is how they depicted jamie he has much more personality in books and claire is too strong in show than in book

[@notremembering]

I agree with comments. Like series much better than books, and think characters are better explained in series. I didn’t understand Claire’s laughter in books in places where it was very serious and not funny. And some books bogged down with details. Liked the way they changed some things in series. I generally like books much better than movie or series also. I read outlander book so long ago didn’t quite recall all of it until end of second reading.

[@09pippa]

I agree with the comments, I stumbled upon a site where you can read all the books for free and after watching the series, I find some parts of the books too descriptive and ended up just flipping through a lot of pages which were kind of boring with so much detail, sometimes unnecessary, at least for me. I think the writers did a tremendous job in condensing the books and conveying the important aspects of the main characters and their love story as well as the historical side. I think in the series Claire sometimes comes across as a 'know-it-all' which I didn't much like. Overall I find the series well directed, with amazing performances by Sam, Caitriona and Tobias. I loved that the writers kept Murtagh who is one of my favorites and I love the attention given to detail both in the wardrobe and props/set decoration for the different periods . A job well done all around, congrats

[@ЛидияИванова-ч4щ]

Тоже читала книгу. И потом узнала снят фильм. В восторге. Смакую просматривая.

[@beach3girl459]

So VERY happy to have found these marvelous books and so much enjoy the TV series

[@RediscoverOwnSoulEssence]

Wow what a cool story on how book got born !!!! I love it !!!

[@Ivanachuljakcribb]

It’s not only a historical novel but the most beautiful Twin Flame story 😍💖😊

[@majorieharrington9823]

I have enjoyed reading and rereading these books.

[@camillabarclay4049]

Hes right about the book he gets it infact they all do a magical production all the elements that make drama captivating. Everything they all say i agree with.

[@alishalegrand6139]

I’m glad that it’s episodic and it’s a television series because I love you dad hallelujah

[@ayachan7]

That 6:59 till 7:00 scene is just so beautifully captured it gets me everytime at the intro song each episode so gracefully ethereal i love it. It goes so well with the intro song on Season 5. So breathtaking tht i didnt even skip intro each time so i could see that part again and again.

[@bonniedriggers5944]

I have to sing along as I watch and I'm definitely no singer so it's good I'm alone when I do it. LOL

[@JLCRH]

I own all 9 books and am waiting for the last one. The audiobooks or digital books can be checked out from your local library over the web. Its free.

[@barbarametcalf847]

I love this series 🤩💖🥰 never had read the books and I’m sure they’re great but I love the show 🤩💖🥰

[@RojaJaneman]

Books r awesome!! Totally worth it.

[@cyrillehurstel]

I am reading them currently and i would say : less sex more violence. But a story more logical and less silly behaviour from Claire.

[@totaloutlanderobsession8013]

I just started reading the books while waiting for season six which was a bit late getting started due to lovely pandemic. So I’m into fourth book now. If I time it right I’ll be into 8th by time season six airs, good day to all.

[@SilkSpectre7]

@@cyrillehurstel I agree with Claire being less silly but book Jamie doesn't work for me at all.

[@igmegalingan]

I gave this show a chance because of Ron Moore. Deep Space Nine, Battlestar Galactica, For All Mankind, and now Outlander: I haven't been disappointed yet.

[@cherifurr3935]

And we fans will miss it after season 8!

[@alexandrawhitley5293]

The books are just amazing and l think that the producers make a decent tv adaptation...love Sam and Caitriona extraordinary performances 👍

Il n'y a pas de mots assez forts pour qualifier cette série je ne peux plus m'en passer je la regarde tous les jours et je l'aime toujours plus

[@elinanstey9601]

So very very wonderful!!

[@MikeyVsr]

To remind myself of the story , I just read the book again, I’ve read the 8 books 4 times already.

[@melanied.616]

I fell in love with the series in 2014 from the beginning....magical & mesmerizing. I had to buy books after season 1. Read 8 books at least 6x each & book 9 twice. Both books & series are the best of the best. Don't understand how the US AWARDS Shows haven't given Outlander numerous awards. I have all the DVD collectors editions & will be watching & enjoying for many, many years to come.

[@Oldleftiehere]

Very old news here. Great books. Great series which has 5 seasons in the can. Season 6 to premier early ‘22.

[@Blue-rl5dp]

True, old to those of us who've been in on it from the beginning, but there's plenty of people who say "Wholander? What are you talking about?" This is for them.

[@totaloutlanderobsession8013]

From an Outlander fan…..I was glad to see this interview. Didn’t start this series until pandemic lockdown….then couldn’t see enough of it. Cheers to all!!! Thanks for video,

[@sharonrichards7656]

But there’s new viewers each & every season; the tv show can & will be the influence to read the books. Great reads and in-depth! Even though there are changes in the TV show, it is an adaptation of the books to make it possible for TV viewing. I am a huge fan of both media’s.

[@Blue-rl5dp]

@@sharonrichards7656 I'm a fan of both as well. Some stuff of the books gets left out, some gets changed an bit, but over all it's the same story with the same results. Nothing important is changed.

[@Oldleftiehere]

Update: Season 7 to premier mid summer ‘23 ❤❤❤.

[@justusgeorge5390]

I just watched the first 6 seasons of this incredible show on Netflix. Waiting for S7 to show up on Netflix ME.

[@frannava8836]

The Best!!!

[@lilybrannon7317]

The makers of Outlander would be perfect to create an adaptation of the Earth's Children series. I suggest starting the series as Ayla and Jondalar meet and let her past be revealed as the series jumps back and forth in the timeline. Just imagine the first episode of Alya running to Jondalar's rescue and jumping in between him and the lion... People will be like whaaat... what sorcery is this? And then she is just like... "Oh its my, Baby".

[@alishalegrand6139]

Pick where you want to start and write it and let it fly by the seat of his pants that’s all you’re right that’s how it gets graded

[@vivienblackford5915]

pity Amazon no longer showing this series free on Prime, disapointed.

[@michellerhodes4076]

Now we need a tv show of The Bronze Horseman!

[@suryapratamak1690]

Outlander is one of my all time favs. True love, and romance, vulnerability and fragility of emotions is sorely lacking in many of even the best tv series. I just wished they paced some events and locations a bit more slower. Namely lallybrock. Their time in lallybrock was too fast paced. A couple of episodes of claire really bonding with jenny and ian and family wouldve been great. Also fraser's ridge peaceful times and contruction and moving in of settlers were skipped, even one extra episode couldve really build upon the community bonds. Ian's training to be a master native warrior souldve been developed even 30minutes more. Season 7, every episode was rushed. Then teres the time travel premise with raymond, st germain and the whole concept itself is not sprinkled enough throughout the seasons.bwhich if in s8 they rush this, it will be more like romance sudden transition to scifi. But if touched on regularly in each season, it will be more cohesive to wrap up later. Outlander should easily be 9 or 10 seasons. Their main premise is the relationships of family and friends even in opposing political turmoil alongThe adventures, tragedy, and magical time or dream travel, are all great. But without enough peaceful and relationship bonding segments and sprinkling of time travel lore,the showing last s7 6 episodes and season 8 would not be very cohesive to cramp so many events into it.

[@deborahcrane46]

The central character is clear right to it is to me

[@johnwilliamson2276]

I have read all of her Outlander series many many times. Jamie and Clair are my old friends, I would know them at a glance. So, when I first saw the first episode I was shocked! Jamie was ok but Clair was not, she had shrunk! She was supposed be buxen not petite. Brianna was to be almost as tall as Jamie and she wasn't. It goes on and on. I will stay with my friends and keep to the books.

[@KristinHall0918]

I would hardly say Claire is "petite". I have not read the books but throughout the series she is usually much taller then any of the other females around her and usually at level with the men. Skinny yes but by no means petite.

[@catrionaemma4671]

It took me a while figuring out what is odd on Annette....she's not talking in a thick scottish accent!!

[@andyveh221]

She possibly watched a different show as inspiration because those Dr. Who episodes ("The Highlanders") were wiped shortly after thei broadcast in 1967.

[@pauliht]

Diana se ve súper joven

[@Roxy-lf7pb]

Peccato non ci siano i sottotitoli 😞

[@MikeyVsr]

Fans make comments on how a writer write her book, when they don’t even had one published book., these are long because the story of Claire & Jaime involved people, if it’s too long for you then you should not read & enjoy the book of historical story, read or not but don’t tell a writer how to write her story it’s her own not for you own pleasure!

[@jeffburrell2986]

Being of Scottish decent it does stir my blood!!

[@diannemanning1823]

Loved that you used the marvelous Annette Badlands but shocked that it was so long before we heard from the actress playing the Outlander! And you hashtag the male lead BUT not the female lead. Most of this is from 1st season BTS … have you forgotten who carried that season?? If so, perhaps ask Ron Moore. And Diana’s last remark about Ron is THE TRUTH!

[@doornik1142]

5:27 What episode is that clip from? I don’t recognize it.

[@dorisday4765]

It’s from the first episode and the end of WW2

[@goorfup5361]

not the author comparing herself to Mozart lmaoooo

[@jeanfitzsimmons7442]

Yes, the book is really beloved. We do wish someone would adapt the book on film, not just use the names, hire a fine group of actors , then ignore the books.

[@lilybrannon7317]

Please please remake the Earth's Children series by Jean M Auel and start at book 2 "the valley of horses" page 374. - Just a suggestion. ;)

[@bobnunyabiznz4917]

It’s just too bad that Diana ruined the books/show by repeatedly using r*pe as a plot device.

[@alishalegrand6139]

Mozart was dead and 36 skins you were 35 so she was like you better get a move on yep you wanna do your novel dream you better get a move on I’m a novel writer myself but I have been since I was would say 10 or 11 star was short stories and then graduated toPicture book writings none of the stuff got publicist things I practically help me learn on right now I write a novel book series do in fact and I’m working very hard diligently to publish the first book of one of the book seriesAnd I’m 23

[@brianlindee4397]

She resemble Polly Walker

[@alishalegrand6139]

Yep so you’re a pants or I’m a pants or a writer as well no plot no research much just go

[@kaibee1914]

Season 1-4 is really a great adaption to the books, we discover lots of thoughts and background of the story and the figures. Season 5 does not meet my taste, it is just too openly constructed. It is an adaption on to todays time, too many fingers in the cuts. Hard to describe, because the book story itsellf is very difficult to put in pieces and the decisions to make a film of this … yeah, you could make lots of films… I hope, Season 6 is not that plane and overconstructed, just a whole story in the line of Diana Gabaldons story and creative points of interpretation. There is no need, that Jamie & Claire must be like they have hard wood in the back! And Sam as an actor could be more natural, his speech in Season 5 is terrible unnaturally. Maybe because he is not a leader in real life - it may be as it is, no mistake at all - but than he must be a better actor to show that Jamie is strong and strategic in his doing or the script must have better dialogues. Just try, please! Love the story so much ♥️ and the show could be a masterpiece too, if… you know 🙏

[@carolcisko6768]

Don’t agree… the least several books were in no way as good as the first 4…. Sorry … the show has done a great job trying to pick a choose the important themes.✅

[@Fiona-eg7tf]

Don't agree. All the cast in the series are absolutely fantastic they do a great job!

[@cynthias5014]

I completely disagree with your comments about Sam in season 5. Actually in my view he is a leader in real life with everything that he supports and all the people he has involved helping them to improve their lives.

[@notremembering]

@@carolcisko6768 agree with your comment on books. Ron Moore did a great job but think he’s not doing same job now in later seasons… don’t mean Ron isn’t doing a good job, means he’s taken a different job working on series, so seasons aren’t as good. Just my opinion..

[@chrisangel0412]

[@carmengloriawynecken7879]

Ron is a master in the way he put the book on screen. Extraordinary!!!

[@09pippa]

It's a good thing that the author agrees with how her books came to life on screen. I've seen several interviews where Diana praises Ron and the producers saying they have done a fantastic job in the adaptation of her story. The intro to every single episode clearly specifies : 'Based on a series of books written by Diana Gabaldon'. (The keyword being 'based on')
