It’s announcement season in TV land! Also known as the Television Critics Association’s Winter Press Tour (the TCAs), during which networks bring producers and cast to talk about current and upcoming shows to a room full of TV critics.

For Starz, and happily for us, that meant the release of the first trailer and more for Outlander, executive produced by Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica, Helix) and based on the international best-selling books by Diana Gabaldon.

First, here’s a reminder of the synopsis:

The “Outlander” series spans the genres of romance, science fiction, history, and adventure in one grandiose tale. It follows the story of Claire Randall, a married combat nurse from 1945 who is mysteriously swept back in time to 1743, where she is immediately thrown into an unknown world where her life is threatened. When she is forced to marry Jamie Fraser, a chivalrous and romantic young Scottish warrior, a passionate affair is ignited that tears Claire’s heart between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

Trailer: Outlander – First Look
Here are a few new screenshots from the upcoming series; it’s Claire and her husband in the 1940s, a first look at where it all begins, and Captain Black Jack Randall (played by Tobias Menzies) delivering Red Coat justice to Jamie Fraser (played by Sam Heughan):

And finally, Starz has also released some great news about a composer who’s a SciFi Mafia favorite:

Really looking forward to checking this one out.
