The second season of “Outlander” aired from April to July of 2016 and ran for 13 consecutive weeks (unlike the first season that was split in half). The show’s fans from the first season all returned for the next chapter of the “Outlander” love saga, with viewership ratings actually increasing year-to-year. Now that we have a whopping seven months to go until Season 3 debuts, we thought it’d be fun to take a closer look at last year.

‘Outlander’ Season 1: What is your favorite episode from the first season? [POLL]
For its second season “Outlander” received two nominations at the Emmy Awards: Best Costumes and Best Production Design. It lost both races. A possible reason that Starz and “Outlander” might have wanted to move Season 3 to the fall is it might improve their awards chances for the next round of Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice Awards. The Globes again nominated Balfe in 2016 for Drama TV Actress and at the Critics’ Choice the series won Most Bingeworthy Show and was also nominated for its lead stars Heughan and Balfe.
