Outlander is based on the book series of the same name by Diana Gabaldon. It was developed by Ronald D. Moore, It stars CaitrĂona Balfe as Claire Randall and Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser. The second season of 13 episodes, based on the book Dragonfly in Amber, aired from April to July 2016.
In season two, Claire and Jamie arrive in France with the goal of infiltrating the Jacobite rebellion and preventing the disastrous Battle of Culloden. Their efforts to change history prove to be more complicated than they expected, leading to political intrigue, personal tragedy, and heartbreak. Back in Scotland, Claire is forced by Jamie to return to her own time for safety. The season concludes with Claire, now in 1968 with her grown daughter, discovering that Jamie may have survived the battle, prompting her to consider a return to the past.
Part of the reason that it took so long to finish season two is that I got bored with the episodes in France. When we finished up The Glided Age and And Just Like That..., we were casting around for something to watch and went back to Outlander.
With the last half of the season back in Scotland, I was more interested and engaged. We spent two weeks in Scotland in 2023. We visited a number of Jacobite sites, including the Culloden battlefield. I am not a fan of time travel, but I enjoyed the last few episodes of season two. We have already started season three.
