Outlander Reviews

outlander movie reviews 2022

Underneath its B-movie appearances are notable actors engaged in an exceptionally strange mishmash of genres that somehow elevates itself beyond its limitations.

Far too much screentime is wasted on boisterous merrymaking and mead-guzzling.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/10 | Nov 29, 2020

Outlander is itself a genre-blending mash-up, a far-out fusion of ancient Viking saga and sci-fi adventure: Beowulf meets Alien.

Beowulf with aliens and lots of gore, violence.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 31, 2010

outlander movie reviews 2022

Outlander is a fluid genre exercise that satisfies cravings for action and Norse mythology in one fell swoop. It's a full-bodied adventure movie that's responsive and reverential to the needs of sci-fi escapism.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Jun 2, 2010

outlander movie reviews 2022

Vikings vs. aliens -- Outlander is probably the best possible version of whatever movie you've already made in your head from reading those first three words.

Full Review | Dec 17, 2009

outlander movie reviews 2022

A mead hall party feels like a Iron Age version of "Cheers," right down to the "Norm!" greeting for one character. It's one of many leaden diversions from what should be a lean, economical, brutal B-movie of aliens, Vikings and alternate timelines.

...ultimately establishes itself as a fun little endeavor that boasts as irresistible a premise as one could possibly imagine.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 28, 2009

About as subtle as being punched in the face by an angry Norwegian, it delivers everything you could possibly want from a movie about Vikings and alien monsters.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 27, 2009

outlander movie reviews 2022

Outlander is a perfectly acceptable mashup of "Alien," "Predator" and just about every Viking flick you've ever seen.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 13, 2009

Most of the time, though, Howard McCain's movie is plain dull.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 28, 2009

The creature is about as convincing as a furry dragon carried through Chinatown.

Full Review | Apr 28, 2009

Stunning special effects and bloody battle sequences make it just the ticket for a popcorn monster fantasy. If you want to engage your brain, best avoid.

outlander movie reviews 2022

As clunky and ineffective as an iron-age weapon on an alien predator's hide, this retro-SF rationalisation of Beowulf could have done with less sword and more pen.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 25, 2009

With plenty of spattered blood and gore and some nice homages to the Beowulf tale the movie isn't without thrills, though its conceptual ambitions are rarely fulfilled in their execution.

Outlandish would have been a better title for a film that's great fun and quite exciting before eventually outstaying its welcome.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 25, 2009

outlander movie reviews 2022

A film version of fish and chips - humble, honest fare that's ludicrous, inventive, gory within limits, and has a cast having so much fun it's hard not to be swept along with them. And besides, you can't have nouvelle cuisine every night of the week.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 24, 2009

Sadly, the kooky premise of Outlander solidifies quickly into formula: monster is fought, fair maiden won, kingship gained and past errors redeemed with no real surprises along the way.

Claire wants to risk it all for love in first-look teaser for Outlander season 7's return

Plus, three new faces join season 8's cast: Kieran Bew, Frances Tomelty, and Carla Woodcock.

Sydney Bucksbaum is a writer at Entertainment Weekly covering all things pop culture – but TV is her one true love. She currently lives in Los Angeles but grew up in Chicago so please don't make fun of her accent when it slips out.

outlander movie reviews 2022

After fighting in the Second Battle of Saratoga, Jamie ( Sam Heughan ), Claire ( Caitriona Balfe ), and Ian ( John Bell ) returned to their home in Scotland to bring the body of Simon Fraser (Angus Macfadyen) to his final resting place. But they're about to discover that "home" isn't the same as what they remember when Outlander season 7 returns with all-new episodes — and now we finally know exactly when the current Droughtlander will end.

As part of "World Outlander Day" on Saturday, Starz announced that the second half of season 7 will premiere Friday, Nov. 22, as well as released a teaser trailer showing how Claire is once again ready to risk it all for love. (What else would you expect of our favorite Sassenach at this point?)

Plus, three new names have joined the upcoming 10-episode eighth and final season that's currently in production: Kieran Bew   ( House of the Dragon ) will play Captain Charles Cunningham, a retired British soldier; Frances Tomelty ( Catastrophe ) will play his mother Elspeth Cunningham; and Carla Woodcock ( Such Brave Girls, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder ) will play Amaranthus Grey, a new member of the Grey family.     

The remaining eight episodes of season 7 will pick up as Jamie and Claire come to terms with their new reality, and executive producer Maril Davis warns it won't be the homecoming they're expecting, and their marriage will be tested like never before. 

"You know that saying, 'You can never go home again?' That's definitely true," Davis previously told Entertainment Weekly . "Home is never the home you knew. It's never going to be the same. That's true when we come back — there's troubling things on the horizon and some painful stuff. It's bittersweet. It's a homecoming, but things happen that are more of a sad note."

Meanwhile, in the 1980s, Roger (Richard Rankin) and Buck (Diarmaid Murtagh) decide to travel through the stones in search of Jem (Blake Johnston-Miller) who has been  kidnapped by Rob Cameron  (Chris Fulton), while Bree (Sophie Skelton) is left to worry about her family being torn across time.

"It's so hard," Davis said about Bree's upcoming arc. "Knowing that time travel's so tough anyway, and then to think your son is out there somewhere with a crazy person. It's the not knowing that's the hardest part. Not going on this journey with Roger and Buck and not knowing what's happening or where they are or if they found him and where Jem is. As a mother that has got to be really heartbreaking."

At least viewers will get some laughs about the pairing of Roger and Buck as they go on an adventure together. "It's a little buddy dramedy, in the past," Davis teased. "They're so much fun together."

As for what else fans can expect from the second half of the season, Davis promised that it's "even better in terms of notching up the tension" than what was in the first half.

"Everyone's worst fears are realized in the back half," she added. "The emotion and the drama that comes with that is breathtaking in a way that our characters are pushed to the limits. There's so much heartbreak. Buckle in, because the back half is just insane."

outlander movie reviews 2022

Now streaming on:

I am tempted to describe the plot of "Outlander" as preposterous, but a movie about an alien spaceship crashing into a Viking fjord during the Iron Age is likely to be preposterous. Two alien life forms survive the crash: Kainan, and a monster known as "The Moorwen." Kainan, played by Jim Caviezel , looks exactly like a human being. The Moorwen looks like a giant, speedy, armored hippo-beetle with a toothy front end designed in the same forges of hell that produced the alien in " Alien ."

Kainan was returning from the Moorwen's home planet, which his race had terraformed, not quite wiping out all the Moorwens. The creatures counterattacked, wiping out most of Kainan's fellow settlers; what he doesn't realize is that one Moorwen was on board ship when he blasted off. Kainan uses a handy device to pump the local Earth language (Viking, spoken in English) into his mind through his eyeball, and soon encounters the nearest Viking village.

Having seen more than a few movies, we intuit that this village will contain a venerable king (Rothgar, played by John Hurt ), his bodacious daughter (Freya, played by Sophia Myles ), a jealous young warrior (Wulfric, played by Jack Huston ) and a menacing dissident (Gunnar, played by Ron Perlman ). There are also numerous villagers who stand around in the background looking intensely interested.

The village is suspicious of this strange "outlander." Then Vikings start to disappear in the forest, and Kainan realizes he has brought along a passenger. After he saves Rothgar from the Moorwen, he wins royal favor and organizes the village in a plan to lure the beast into a deep pit with stakes at the bottom and burn it alive.

I began my study of science fiction at the age of 9, with Tom Corbett, Space Cadet. I grew to love the authors who incorporated as much science as possible: Clarke, Asimov, Heinlein. They would have had questions about Kainan. For example, is he as human as he appears? It seems unlikely from a Darwinian point of view that two human species should evolve independently and contemporaneously on separate worlds. Even more so that they would share common sexual feelings and be able to mate, though that is precisely what Kainan and Freya propose.

But yes, their love flowers, against a backdrop of Arthurian romance. The Moorwen is the dragon, of course. And much depends on a sword mighty enough to pierce its armor. To forge this Excalibur, Kainan dives into the fjord and retrieves scrap steel from the wreckage of his ship, thus bringing the Iron Age to a quick close -- in this village, anyway. The climax involves the usual violent and incoherent special-effects scenes, after which Rothgar gives Kainan the hand of his daughter, and Kainan and Freya presumably retire to discover if separate evolutionary paths have outfitted them with compatible fixtures.

"Outlander" is interesting as a collision of genres: the monster movie meets the Viking saga. You have to give it credit for carrying that premise to its ultimate (if not logical) conclusion. It occurs to me, however, that the Moorwen had legitimate reason to be grieved. First Kainan's race appropriated the Moorwen planet for its own purposes, then it massacred the Moorwens, now it was picking off a survivor. Do you think genocide or colonialism are concepts to be found in "Outlander"? Not a chance. That's because Kainan is so human, and the Moorwens are, well, just not our sort.

I hope a recall's coming for the 2022 Outlander

Yesterday we picked up our stylish new 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander ES at a dealership 180 miles from our home. It was a windy day and our almost three hour drive home became a hair-raising experience. When we left the dealership and got on the highway the front hood of the vehicle began lifting and flexing with the wind. My husband thought it wasn't properly latched and stopped to remedy the situation but he found it was properly closed. We drove the entire trip home watching the hood violently undulate. (I kept thinking the hood was going to snap off). I called the dealership where our salesman tried to make light of it and said there are no recalls for it-- "yet". I'm sick about it because it seems to be a wonderful vehicle in all other areas--smooth shifting--comfortable seating--bright LED headamps---generous warranty--and it would be a great driving experience if we weren't totally distracted by a dancing front hood. I will now be wary about driving it on windy days (which would be almost every day here in Northern Arizona). Since Mitsubishi Motors took four years to come out with this totally redesigned model I don't understand how something like this could slip through their fingers. Don't they test in wind tunnels? Our only hope is for a quick recall.

don not buy not reliable

outlander 2022 recalls & issues Hood problem wireless charger screen going gray seatbelt issue gets stuck fuel pump remote start does not work properly is time consuming and very aggravating having to deal with this many issues + whatever the future brings on a new vehicle and ofcurse the dealer gives you the runaround trying to blame it on anything and not assuming responsibility they already got their money so they dont care any more. on a positive note you can only make the MISTAKE of buying a Mitsubishi vehicle one time. not only will I not recommend buying this brand but I will express my opinion and experience with it.

Loved the car...until I had a problem

I bought the 2022 Outlander SEL Touring. Everything about it was great - interior design, comfort, smooth ride, nice pickup for a small SUV. But then a wheel baring cracked. I started hearing a "clicking" noise every time I turned the steering wheel. Now it is sitting in my local service department waiting on a part that won't come in until end of January 2022 (the writing of this review is November 2021). Very disappointed that a brand new car would already have problems.

Beautiful SUV but a mechanical nightmare!

I purchased a brand-new Mitsubishi Montero in 1995 and drove this SUV for 10 years without a single mechanical issue, it ran strong and was a beast in bad weather. So, when Mitsubishi came out with the Outlander, I was ecstatic that Mitsubishi was coming back on the scene with this well-designed SUV that reminded me of a Land Rover. With this in mind, I decided to go for it and purchased the diamond black SEL, S-AWC Launch edition. When I test drove one, I did notice the hood flutter and informed the salesman, in which, I was told, that it would need a minor adjustment, which made no sense to me on a brand-new vehicle that took 5 years to launch and tested for quality control throughout the engineering process to assess the quality and performance of the vehicle. The idea behind testing these cars is to allow manufacturers to work out all the kinks and potential problems before going into full production. Therefore, I purchased the SUV in December 2021, I did experience the hood fluttering, but having a mechanical background, I looked under the hood to see what adjustments these engineers failed to make and saw that there are 2 black rubber hood stoppers on the left and right side on the bottom, where the hood indentation makes contact with them when the hood is closed. I screwed the rubber pieces all the way out, and reinserted them, twisting them one full turn until the arrow faces in the direction of the engine. Then I took 2 felt pads, the pads you put under chair legs to keep them from scratching the floor and placed the sticky side down on the rubber stoppers. Closed the hood and went for a ride and the hood stopped the vibration and fluttering. However, on really windy days there is very little fluttering enough for me to feel comfortable driving and not worrying about the hood dislodging. If the hood doesn't close securely, adjust the rubber stoppers so the hood can close. Now, the next issue, I went for a drive and got half a mile from my home and the Outlander without warning just shut off. I pulled to the side and tried to start it to the point of the battery losing voltage. I had towed back to my home where I have the testing equipment and diagnostic tools to see why this SUV with 8000 miles just died on me. With the help of my son who is a professional mechanic, we determined it was the fuel pump shorted out based on the computer code. The next day I towed it to the dealer, wrote down all the symptoms that appeared after it shut off and thinking this would be a simple fix taking a few days, but that turned into 3 months without this vehicle, and it was the fuel pump, which was on back order and the fuel gauge. I had to get forceful with the dealer and made them get a Mitsubishi rep involved just to get a rental. After finding out that the robots that installed the fuel pumps didn't do it correctly and didn't get the wiring right which shorted the pump is what caused what could have been a serious accident if this occurred on the highway in traffic putting me and my family in harm's way. Therefore, I precede to take legal action against Mitsubishi, and now have a pending lawsuit against them. I used the Lemon law of my state and if the dealer is giving you the run around, you can file a complaint with the State Attorney General, they could be fined, and have their franchise license revoked, or you file a complaint against the dealer's surety bond with DMV Business regulation section or the licensing board. Mitsubishi is jeopardizing the lives of thousands of their customers allowing this mechanical issue to go unsolved until a hood rips off while driving or being rear ended when the fuel pump fails in traffic. I'm very disappointed in such a promising SUV, buyer beware!!

Where do I even begin ? Just run the other way!

I think this car looks great inside and out but you get what you pay for. Immediately after purchase I had issues with the fuel pump and AWD, then came the struts and strut mounts and wheel bearings, within 6 months I also had a screen issue and AC issue and then just overall not starting and or stalling. It's been to the service department 22 times in 13 months. It's been to three different service departments. The head tech of Mitsubishi came out. NOTHING has been fixed. Mitsubishi says "Known issue no known fix" as if that's a reasonable answer for someone with a brand new car to not have it working. Like oh ok so you know the ac doesn't work but can't fix it ? No worries. It's cool. I like to sweat. Absolutely not. I'm currently suing them in lemon law court. Absolutely run far away from this cheaply made pile of crap. Despite the good warranty you won't get it fixed because service centers hands are tied by the manufacturer not wanting to repair anything.

The all-new 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander delivers a visual punch, both inside and out, that consumers appreciate

Pricing starts at $31,998 in Canada, $25,745 in the US.

The current 2022 outlander phev is a carryover but a new one is coming., the new 2022 outlander is about delivering an impression..

This isn’t entirely relevant but hear me out: I’ve always been a station wagon person. Personally, even though I understand their worth, I’ll get a minivan before I own another SUV. Only a small handful have ever spoken to me with enough relevance to be added to my driveway and one of them was the Mitsubishi Outlander.

10 out of 12 like the styling

outlander movie reviews 2022

I will avoid once more unraveling my thoughts on Mitsubishi’s last decade because it is mostly passion-filled nonsense. Given my existing pre-disposition and condition, I decided to use a different approach to evaluate Mitsubishi’s current design direction and its effects on the new 2022 Outlander. And wouldn’t you know it, I’ve got no idea what people want anymore, at least as far as looks are concerned.

When I shot my video of the new Outlander, I’d so far surveyed eight neighbors but by the end of the week, I’d increased my sampling to 12 people. A full 10 out of 12, or 83.33%, liked the new SUV’s front design. They called it muscular, unique and one went so far as say premium. There, the people have spoken. I will add here that I do like the Outlander’s side profile, strong character lines, and think the ¾ angle shows off the SUV’s best features, namely the sharp taillights, sculpted rear haunches, and bumper.

Premium cabin

outlander movie reviews 2022

The cabin is far easier to appreciate as it doesn’t attempt to make up for various shortcomings. In fact, the dashboard’s layout, attention to detail, and craftsmanship could believably be lifted from a pricier vehicle. The tested $42,178 Outlander GT Premium has numerous standout elements such as semi‑aniline two‑tone leather, the 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, the head’s up display, and tasteful fit and finish.

Most surfaces are premium in appearance and to the touch, which absolutely helps the Outlander rack up points with potential consumers. The other is the amount of space onboard. The third row remains, as always, as a plan B in most cases. When up, the available boot space is 331 litres, meaning that it’s fairly limited. When stowed, once the massive comically headrests are removed, the boot grows to a commendable 949 litres.

outlander movie reviews 2022

The rear bench slides fore and aft to maximize rear occupant legroom. Up front, driver and passenger are treated to plenty of space. Storage spots are limited in the center console which is essentially the cabin’s only deficiency.

Refinement takes centre stage

In a way, Mitsubishi has improved everything it could with the new 2022 Outlander . The most important enhancements done to the new SUV have to do with overall refinement. The cabin is far quieter even at highway speeds while the chassis handles most road surfaces with relative ease. Despite the new level of sophistication, the Outlander is still tuned for a slightly more dynamic driving experience which is by design.

The ameliorated ride quality is enhanced by responsive steering, decent braking power, and feel, but this is where the praise comes to an end. In a way, all is fine with the 2.5-litre 4-cylinder, its 181 horsepower and equal torque, and the standard continuously variable transmission. The latter channels the power to the standard and effective Super All‑Wheel Control (S‑AWC) AWD system.

In town, the transmission does its thing focusing mostly on efficiency and aforementioned refinement. Unfortunately, the issues with the powertrain arise once more speed is required. Despite its best intentions, the engine-transmission combo needs lots of time and plenty of room to reach said required speed. And this is when I’m alone in the Outlander. With an extra 250 lbs of people and gear, the situation gets graver. I would avoid testing out the SUV’s 2,000 lbs towing capacity… The upside however is overall fuel efficiency which will hover around the 9L/100 km mark.

The right trim and the competition

outlander movie reviews 2022

The most value-packed and interesting trim is the LE. The advantages to the $37,738 version of the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander are the included heated steering wheel, 9-inch display, power liftgate, and more such as the 20-inch wheels. Essentially, the LE is nearly identical to the tested $42,178 GT Premium.

As far as the competition, the Outlander faces off in the most hard-fought segment on the continent. The likes of the Toyota RAV4 , Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson, Nissan Rogue (its fraternal twin), Mazda CX-5, Chevrolet Equinox, and Volkswagen Tiguan, to name a few, mean that the Outlander will rarely be at the top of a shopping list.

In a nutshell, the new 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander is the best Outlander ever but there are no undeniable features or points in its favour. That is unless you are part of the 83.33% that think it’s a looker.

2022 Mitsubishi Outlander review: Going Rogue

The new Outlander is fundamentally a Nissan Rogue underneath, and it's all the better for it.

outlander movie reviews 2022

Mitsubishi makes a lot more than just cars. This Japanese conglomerate manufactures everything from TVs and satellites to air conditioners and even nuclear reactors. The triple-diamond brand also claims to build the world's only spiral escalator. But despite the groundbreaking products in other sectors, it's been a long time since I've been able to recommend one of Mitsubishi's automobiles. The 2022 Outlander , however, is so dramatically improved you should absolutely add it to your SUV shopping list.

2022 Mitsubishi Outlander

  • Standard third-row seat
  • Good fuel economy
  • User-friendly tech
  • Superb interior

Don't like

  • Third-row seat is just for kids
  • Not as sporty as it looks
  • Needs more oomph

Going Rogue

Mitsubishi has been allied with Nissan and Renault since 2016. Being a part of this international automotive coalition gives the company access to all kinds of cool stuff, like platforms and technology. This is why the new Outlander is fundamentally a Nissan Rogue underneath. The two vehicles feature the same powertrain and major dimensions, but they are not carbon copies. The 2022 Outlander's tuning is totally different and it features unique interior materials. One other major distinction is the country of origin; the Outlander is assembled in Japan while the Rogue is screwed together in Tennessee.

Styling is another thing that sets this Mitsu apart from its Nissan sibling. The Outlander is slightly larger and far more attractive than before. I've got to say, this is a vehicle that looks much better in person than it does in photos. The front end is a lot more three-dimensional than it appears on a computer monitor or phone screen.

2022 Mitsubishi Outlander: Outlandish no longer

outlander movie reviews 2022

Have we met before?

Excluding the plug-in hybrid variant, which is still the previous-generation model (for now, at least), just one drivetrain is offered in the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander : a 2.5-liter four-cylinder paired with a continuously variable transmission. If you're acquainted with the Rogue, this powertrain combination should be as familiar. The engine delivers 181 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque, which isn't quite enough. Driven normally, this output is perfectly fine and has no trouble motivating the Outlander, but when you need to hustle or you're transporting a full load, some more zest would be appreciated. At times, this Mitsubishi feels a step or three behind its turbocharged competitors, which include the Ford Escape , Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5 .

As for fuel economy, the top-shelf all-wheel-drive model seen here stickers at 24 miles per gallon city, 30 mpg highway and 26 mpg combined. In mixed use, however, I've been averaging better than 30, which is pretty remarkable.

2022 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL Touring - Nissan Rogue

Don't expect any underhood fireworks here.

Part of the reason this Mitsu is so economical is that it features a CVT. These transmissions are a  big  point of contention for a lot of enthusiasts these days, and while you may not love them, this one works reasonably well for what it is, responding quickly to throttle inputs and simulating gear changes under heavy acceleration for a somewhat more natural feel.

One classy cabin

The redesigned Outlander may be more attractive on the outside, but that's only part of the story. Slide inside and about five seconds is all it takes to realize this is a whole new breed of Mitsubishi, and it's seriously nice. Seriously.

From the clean, elegant dashboard design to the comfortable first- and second-row seats to the high-quality materials liberally employed, this SUV's cabin is absolutely gorgeous. This SEL model with the Touring Package features real aluminum trim on the center console, beautiful contrast-color stitching and semianiline leather. I also adore the subtle diamond texture designers added to the window switches, a pattern that's echoed on the air vent sliders, audio dials and driving mode selector. Nothing in this SUV looks cheap or feels flimsy, though the comely piano-black accents incessantly attract dust and smudges, so be aware of that and remember to bring some wet wipes.

2022 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL Touring - interior

The new Outlander's interior is beautifully done, with loads of premium materials and an attractive design.

The Outlander's front bucket seats are super comfortable, supple enough to cosset your body yet still plenty supportive as to not cause undue fatigue on long trips. The second row is plenty cushy, too, though a skosh more legroom would be nice. Setting this SUV apart from the competition is its standard third-row seat. This is a great feature to have, on paper at least, but it's super small, something Mitsu folks acknowledge. Really, it's intended for children only, so don't expect to cram your 6-foot, 4-inch uncle back there 'cause it ain't going to end well.

Making life a little easier, there's technology aplenty in the Outlander. Apple CarPlay is standard across the board, and on SE models and up it even connects wirelessly. Naturally, Android Auto is supported, too, though you'll have to bring a cable. If you're wondering, USB type-A and type-C ports are offered. Lower-end Outlanders feature an 8-inch infotainment screen, but this example is fitted with the fancy 9-inch display, which also comes with embedded navigation and a wireless charging pad. The infotainment system is, for the most part, straightforward and speedy, which is all you can really ask for, so no complaints here. If you need more screens in your life, a 12.3-inch reconfigurable instrument cluster is available, as is a 10.8-inch color head-up display.

Other available tech includes features like blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and automatic high beams, but the Outlander can be equipped with plenty of other amenities. And one must-have feature is Mi-Pilot Assist, basically Mitsubishi's version of Nissan's excellent ProPilot Assist adaptive cruise control system with lane centering. This feature works great, accurately tracking road lines and providing a very firm feel, much more so than competing systems. This practically makes the Outlander seem like a guided missile when you engage the system.

2022 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL Touring - wheels

This redesigned Outlander has some pretty attractive angles, dontcha think?

Refined, not sporty

When you're not living life at redline, this SUV's interior is impressively hushed, with minimal wind and road noise. In fact, it's quiet enough to rival some luxury cars, which is pretty shocking for a mainstream SUV.

The Outlander's steering is smooth and free of kickback, plus I love the thick steering wheel rim which is dressed up with perforated leather in this example. My tester's 20-inch wheels (18s come standard on the Outlander) also look sharp, yet they don't degrade the ride quality too much. This machine is reasonably firm but never abusive.

Mitsubishi is keen to bill the Outlander as a sportier alternative to other SUVs , but it isn't. This vehicle is comfortable, refined and efficient, but it really doesn't feel any livelier than competing car-based utility vehicles (especially when you bury the accelerator), which is just fine. It drives well for what it is and there's generally little to complain about.

2022 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL Touring - sporty

The 2022 Outlander is about as good as anything else it competes with.

Pricing and availability

You can look for the 2022 Outlander at Mitsubishi dealerships very soon. The base price for a front-drive ES model is about 27 grand, but with the Touring Package, a couple options and $1,195 in delivery fees, this SEL example checks out for $37,995, which is a chunk of change to be sure. Justifying that price, however, the new Outlander is basically as nice as anything else in its class and when you throw in an excellent five-year/60,000-mile new vehicle guarantee as well as a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, this Mitsubishi becomes all the more appealing.

Sure, I wish the Outlander had a bit more powertrain gusto and I don't always love that CVT, but its refinement, beautiful interior and loads of user-friendly tech are hard to argue with. In fact, this SUV may be better than the Nissan Rogue it shares so much with, which is a major win for the Mitsubishi brand.

2022 Mitsubishi Outlander Overview

Is the mitsubishi outlander a good suv.

The redesigned 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander is a good compact SUV no matter how you slice it. The Outlander impresses with its poised ride and handling, luxury-esque interior, user-friendly infotainment system, and wealth of standard safety features. It sports a large cargo area, and its four-cylinder engine yields respectable fuel economy. The Outlander is also one of the few small SUVs with third-row seating, making it possible – but not comfortable – to fit seven passengers.

The only major knock against the Outlander is its powertrain. This 181-horsepower engine and continuously variable automatic transmission can scoot the Outlander around town just fine, but the pairing is far less enthusiastic at highway speeds.

Should I Buy the Mitsubishi Outlander?

The 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander is definitely worth a look if you're shopping for a compact SUV . The Outlander offers upscale styling, lots of standard features, and seven-seat practicality, yet it still costs about the same as its five-seat competitors. That said, you may want to first consider rivals like the Honda CR-V or Mazda CX-5 if zippy acceleration is a top priority. The Outlander is lacking in that category.

2021 vs. 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander: What's the Difference?

Mitsubishi redesigned the Outlander for 2022, and this new model has almost nothing in common with the outgoing model. That's a good thing. The 2022 Outlander is slightly taller and wider, and this increase in size yields far more passenger space and cargo room. The interior benefits from higher-end materials, a sleeker design, and more-advanced tech and safety features. The Outlander’s ride quality and handling also show significant improvement.

The only omission of note is a plug-in-hybrid model. Mitsubishi has offered an Outlander PHEV since 2018. A new plug-in version is expected to rejoin the lineup for the 2023 or 2024 model year.

Compare the 2021 and 2022 Outlander »

Here are the key changes for the Mitsubishi Outlander over the last few years:

  • 2018: plug-in-hybrid model debuted
  • 2019: refreshed exterior styling
  • 2020: no major changes
  • 2021: lineup reduced to only the plug-in-hybrid model
  • 2022: fully redesigned with higher-quality materials, a roomier cabin, and improved driving dynamics; plug-in-hybrid model on hiatus

How Much is a 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander?

The 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander has a $25,795 starting price. That’s about average for the compact SUV class . The price climbs to $35,345 for the range-topping SEL Launch Edition, which is also in line with the MSRPs of most rival’s top trims.

Mitsubishi Outlander Versus the Competition

Mitsubishi outlander vs. nissan rogue.

The Nissan Rogue is the corporate cousin of the all-new Outlander. These two crossover SUVs were developed together, and they share a number of components, from their safety features and infotainment hardware to their engine, transmission, and suspension systems. Both are priced similarly as well, at just under $26,000. That said, the Outlander and Rogue aren't twins.

The Outlander has unique styling inside and out, a higher towing capacity of 2,000 pounds (vs. 1,350 pounds in the Rogue), and a longer warranty. It's also a seven-seat SUV, whereas the Rogue only has five seats. The Rogue's big advantage is its fuel economy. It gets an EPA-rated 30 mpg in combined city and highway driving, which is an improvement of 3 mpg over the Outlander. Both SUVs are fine options in this class, so you’ll want to test-drive each to see which you prefer.

Compare the Outlander and Rogue »

Mitsubishi Outlander vs. Toyota RAV4

The Toyota RAV4 falls a bit short of the Outlander, at least on paper. It doesn't offer as much cargo space, it's not available with third-row seating, and its interior styling and materials lack the panache of the surprisingly luxe Mitsubishi. Where the RAV4 does stand out is under the hood. The RAV4 not only returns better fuel economy than the Outlander, but it also feels punchier in everyday driving. Additionally, the RAV4 boasts a higher towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds. For these reasons, we think it's a better choice than the Outlander.

Outlander Interior: Extreme Makeover SUV Edition

Outlander interior quality.

The 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander is a more upscale SUV than its predecessor. The cabin is well insulated from wind and road noise, even at cruising speeds. The dashboard looks modern and clean-cut, and most of the interior surfaces are trimmed in rich upholstery and soft-touch plastic. The main switches and buttons on the dashboard operate with a tactile and substantial heft as well. All in all, this new Outlander’s cabin could give those of some entry-level luxury SUVs a run for their money.

Outlander Infotainment, Bluetooth, and Navigation

The Outlander's standard 8-inch and available 9-inch touch screens are intuitive and responsive. The infotainment system’s menu structure is simple, the graphics are crisp and easy to read. There's a mix of physical buttons and knobs below the screen as well, so you don't have to rely on a tap or a swipe to control every function.

While the standard gauge cluster does its job just fine, the available 12.3-inch digital instrument panel is worth the upgrade. This display is beautifully rendered and highly reconfigurable, so you can view as much or as little information as you want.

  • Standard infotainment features: an 8-inch touch screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, two USB ports, and a six-speaker stereo
  • Available infotainment features: a 9-inch touch screen, navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay, a smartphone charging pad, HD Radio, satellite radio, a 10-speaker stereo, two additional USB ports, and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster
  • Additional standard features: remote keyless entry, push-button start, and dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Other available features: proximity keyless entry, a panoramic sunroof, and tri-zone automatic climate control

Outlander Cargo Space

The Outlander has 11.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row. However, this area expands to 33.5 cubic feet when the third row is folded, and it grows to 79.7 cubic feet when the second and third rows are folded. That’s more total cargo space than any other compact SUV provides, including the Honda CR-V and Subaru Forester . A manual liftgate comes standard, and a hands-free power liftgate is optional.

How Many People Does the Outlander Seat?

The 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander is a three-row SUV with seven seats, one of only two compact SUVs with three rows. The other is the Volkswagen Tiguan .

The Outlander provides ample space in the first row, even for tall occupants, and the front seats feel cushy and highly supportive. Outward visibility is impressive to the front and sides of the SUV. The second row is accommodating, with comfy seats and sufficient headroom and legroom for average-size adults. While the third-row seats are handy to use in a pinch, they're only roomy enough for small kids, and even then, the seating position is pretty uncomfortable. Accessing the third row is a squeeze as well.

Cloth upholstery and a power-adjustable driver’s seat are standard. Options include synthetic and genuine leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, a power-adjustable front passenger seat, a heated steering wheel, and rear sunshades.

Outlander and Child Car Seats

The Outlander has two full sets of LATCH connectors for the second-row outboard seats and a tether anchor for the middle seat.

Outlander Performance: City Slicker

Outlander engine.

The 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander is equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 181 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. A continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive come standard. All-wheel drive is optional.

This powertrain is merely sufficient for day-to-day driving. The Outlander shuttles off the line briskly and feels lively enough around town. The transmission does a convincing imitation of a traditional automatic with its simulated gear shifts, at least at lower speeds.

The pairing isn’t as smooth on the highway though, especially with extra cargo and passengers in tow. The engine struggles to haul the SUV along at these speeds, and it tends to rev loudly, which can be tiresome on long road trips. Passing another vehicle requires patience.

Outlander Gas Mileage

The Outlander gets an EPA-rated 24 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway, which is pretty good for a compact SUV . Upgrading to all-wheel drive only drops the highway rating by 1 mpg.

Outlander Ride and Handling

The 2022 Outlander may not be the sportiest pick in this competitive class, but it holds its own. The Outlander glides comfortably over rough road surfaces and broken pavement, which is somewhat surprising given the large 20-inch wheels and thin tires fitted to most models. The steering is quick and responsive, though a bit lightly weighted, and the SUV's body motions are well-controlled around turns. The brakes provide confident stopping power.

The Outlander's 8.4 inches of ground clearance, various traction control modes, and optional all-wheel-drive system ensure it can tackle the occasional off-pavement excursion. But overall, this SUV is better suited for traversing snowy streets than actual off-road driving.

Outlander Towing Capacity

The Mitsubishi Outlander is rated to tow up to 2,000 pounds when properly equipped.

All-wheel drive is an $1,800 option.

The entry-level Outlander ES is a fine choice for most shoppers, as it comes well-equipped with standard tech and safety features. If you want amenities like heated front seats or a power liftgate though, you’ll need to upgrade to at least the SE model.

Options include a $495 tow hitch and receiver, as well as a $1,000 Convenience package with 20-inch wheels.

Mitsubishi Outlander SE

This trim gains a 9-inch touch screen, navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay, HD Radio, satellite radio, four USB ports, a smartphone charging pad, proximity keyless entry, synthetic leather upholstery, heated front seats, a hands-free power liftgate, rain-sensing windshield wipers, LED fog lights, front parking sensors, a surround-view parking camera system, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, road sign recognition, and 20-inch wheels.

Options include the tow package and a $2,300 Tech package, which bundles together a digital gauge cluster, a 10-speaker Bose stereo, and a panoramic sunroof.

Mitsubishi Outlander SE Launch Edition

The Outlander SE Launch Edition carries a $29,995 starting price and adds the contents of the Tech package.

Mitsubishi Outlander SEL

The ritzy Outlander SEL trim starts at $31,945, and it includes all of the SE features plus leather upholstery, a power-adjustable front passenger seat, heated rear seats, and tri-zone automatic climate control.

Options include a tow package and a $2,700 Touring package, which adds rear sunshades, a heated steering wheel, a head-up display, a 10-speaker stereo, and a panoramic sunroof.

Mitsubishi Outlander SEL Launch Edition

The range-topping SEL Launch Edition costs $35,345. It gains all-wheel drive plus the contents of the Touring package.

The Final Call

Mitsubishi's redesign of the Outlander has catapulted it from a distant last place in prior years to a true contender in the compact SUV class . The Outlander makes a statement with its upscale cabin, seven-seat layout, class-leading cargo capacity, and intuitive tech features. It also rides comfortably, and it's backed by a long warranty. As it stands, an uninspiring engine and transmission pairing is the only thing holding the Outlander back.

Don't just take our word for it. Check out comments from some of the reviews that drive our rankings and analysis.

  • "The 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander isn’t just redesigned, it’s a thorough rethink on how to attack the compact crossover marketplace. Not only that, it’s vaulted Mitsubishi from an also-ran to a solid contender for your hard-earned bucks." -- Autoblog
  • "Even with our enthusiast-slanted gripes and its underwhelming powertrain, the 2022 Outlander finally has some style and substance to compete against today's top compact crossovers. … Credit Nissan with the assist, but Mitsubishi made its own decisions and took its own chances to transform the Outlander from punchline to prime time." -- Car and Driver
  • "Sure, I wish the Outlander had a bit more powertrain gusto and I don't always love that CVT, but its refinement, beautiful interior and loads of user-friendly tech are hard to argue with. In fact, this SUV may be better than the Nissan Rogue it shares so much with, which is a major win for the Mitsubishi brand." -- CNET

Positive Messages

Battle and bloodshed are frequent on the show, as is romance, which sends a message that love is inextricably mixed with drama. Chivalry, liberty, and love of country is frequently championed, but these ends are usually accomplished through violent means.

Positive Role Models

The central characters are smart, strong-willed people who live passionately and want to do what's right. There's some infidelity, but it's complicated by the time-travel aspect.

Violence & Scariness

Infrequent but gory scenes of injury and surgery, including squirting blood, internal organs, and a man screaming in pain. Battles are frequent and frightening; weapons including guns, swords, clubs, and knives are used.

Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Outlander is an intense period drama based on a popular series of romance novels and features frequent, graphic sex. Expect bared body parts, moaning, thrusting, and discussion of infidelity. The series takes place in a historical wartime setting with plentiful battlefield scenes and very gory injuries, with squirting blood, internal organs, and soldiers screaming in pain. Mild curses are infrequent, but a character frequently utters "Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ," which some might find offensive.

Too much violence

What's the story.

In the Scottish Highlands where her husband takes her for a second honeymoon, former WWII nurse Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe) is an OUTLANDER, an English woman in a place where the locals have a rather complicated history with the English. She finds out about this history firsthand when she's investigating the medicinal plants in a mysterious location her historian husband Frank (Tobias Menzies) is researching. She hears a buzzing sound...and she experiences the sensation of falling through glass. When she awakes, she's traveled back through time, to 18th-century Scotland where a group of native rebels are battling the hated British Army. Alone and with nothing, Claire must find her way. Thankfully, at least one of the rebels, handsome soldier Jamie MacTavish (Sam Heughan), seems willing to help her feel at home in this strange, new (or is it old?) land.

Is It Any Good?

The Outlander series of novels has been reliably standing its readers' hairs on end since the early 1990s, and ardent fans can breathe a sigh of relief: This is a faithful and wonderful adaptation of rich and beloved source material. The casting is particularly choice, with a brooding light/dark Jamie with magnetism, a sweet and sexy Frank, and, best of all, the sumptuous Caitriona Balfe as Claire. She's as strong, compelling, and interesting as the Claire realized in Diana Gabaldon's book series, a woman of sulks and rages and a childlike sense of fun. She's a complicated woman, in a medium that doesn't often feature complicated women.

Thus, women in particular likely will be drawn to Outlander , with the juicy internal conflict Claire faces: Is it OK to get comfy in the 18th century with Jamie when her real husband, Frank, is waiting for her back in the present day? Will she ever get back there? Why is she here, anyway? This could all be eye-rollingly silly stuff, but, with dialogue and scenes lifted directly from the terrific novels and compelling actors emoting, Outlander is the very best kind of television (for adults, at least): quality that's also an addictive pleasure.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

Families can talk about who Outlander is aimed at. Teenagers? People in their 80s? People of another age? Men? Women? Children? How can you tell?

The main character in Outlander is Claire Randall, a woman. Is it typical that a woman is the lead character on a TV drama? What are some other shows that center on one woman? How are they like Outlander ? How are they different?

Where do you think Outlander was shot? Was it shot, as the majority of shows are, in a studio in Los Angeles? How can you tell? What does it add to the show to have realistic outdoor footage?

Outlander season 7 part 2 teases a shocking turn for claire & jamie. here's the release date.

outlander movie reviews 2022

It’s seemed like an interminably long wait, but everything we know about Outlander Season 7 Part 2 has just increased.

As part of the World Outlander Day celebration, Starz announced today that the highly anticipated second half of the seventh will premiere on Friday, November 22.

Coming off of the first half of Outlander Season 7, viewers find Claire (Caitríona Balfe), Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Young Ian (John Bell) leaving the colonies and arriving in their beloved homeland: Scotland.

The Time-Tested Love of Claire and Jamie - Outlander

The perils of the Revolutionary War force them to choose between standing by those they love and fighting for the land they have made their new home.

Meanwhile, Roger (Richard Rankin) and Brianna (Sophie Skelton) face new enemies across time, and must battle the forces that threaten to pull their family apart.

As loyalties change and painful secrets come to light, Jamie and Claire’s marriage is tested like never before.

The Future is Past - Outlander

With their love binding them over oceans and centuries, can the MacKenzies and Frasers find their way back to each other?

In the stunning teaser trailer released, Claire speaks over what unfolds on screen.

Related: Outlander Season 7 Episode 8 Review: Turning Points

She no longer feels as though she belongs to the future, as she and Jamie have fully committed to helping bring forth the new nation for all that it represents and for those they hold most dear.

For Brianna, for Roger, and for all of them.

Brianna is Overcome with Emotion - Outlander

War is not easy, and fighting for principles requires incredible sacrifice.

Claire is willing to put love on the table, and the teaser suggests that she may lose the man for whom she’s traveled through time to cherish, marry, and bear children.

Outlander is a romance, a historical drama, and a science-fiction-based fantasy, so we all know that nothing is ever as simple or straightforward as it might seem on the surface.

We are so ready to see the next eight episodes of Season 7 unfold for all facets of the incredible storytelling we’ve come to love.

For those of you who want your Outlander a little sooner, you’ll be able to see fresh episodes on the Starz app and on-demand platforms, beginning at midnight ET on Friday, November 22.

'Outlander' season 7's return date has finally been announced. Here's everything we know about the new episodes.

  • "Outlander" aired eight episodes of season seven in 2023 before taking a lengthy midseason hiatus.
  • It's now been announced that the second half of season seven will begin airing on November 22, 2024.
  • Sam Heughan and Caitríona Balfe will be back alongside fan favorites from earlier seasons.

Insider Today

Warning: This article contains spoilers for " Outlander " season seven.

We're in one of the longest Droughtlanders to date, but there's light at the end of the tunnel. The team behind the much-loved Starz drama has announced the premiere date for the remaining episodes of season seven.

As audiences may already already know, the current season is the show's longest since season one, consisting of 16 episodes. While the first eight were released last summer, the second half will begin airing on Friday, November 22, 2024.

When viewers last saw Jamie ( Sam Heughan ) and Claire ( Caitríona Balfe ), they had just completed the journey back to Scotland after an unexpected sequence of events at the second battle of Saratoga. Meanwhile, Brianna ( Sophie Skelton ) and Roger ( Richard Rankin ) were faced with the prospect that their young son had been kidnapped and likely taken through the standing stones at Craigh na Dun.

From which cast members you can expect to see in the remaining episodes to details on the Diana Gabaldon books the episodes will be based on, here's everything we know about the second part of "Outlander" season seven.

The second part of "Outlander" season seven will premiere on November 22, 2024.

outlander movie reviews 2022

Season seven was given a supersized 16-episode order after season six was truncated as a result of delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

After the first half aired in 2023, audiences were told that the remaining eight episodes would be released sometime in 2024.

We now know when exactly that will be, thanks to an announcement delivered to fans on "World Outlander Day" on June 1. The annual holiday celebrates the anniversary of the publication of Diana Gabaldon's first book in the best-selling historical fantasy series.

This year, Starz, the network behind "Outlander," marked the day by sharing the news that the highly anticipated second half of season seven will premiere on Friday, November 22.

Audiences can look forward to one episode being released every week on Fridays at midnight ET on all Starz streaming and on-demand platforms. On linear, the new episodes will debut weekly at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

The new episodes will see Jamie and Claire's marriage "tested like never before," according to a synopsis.

outlander movie reviews 2022

A synopsis of the new episodes shared by Starz alongside the teaser trailer released on June 1 indicates that Jamie and Claire are not on safe ground just because they're back in Scotland.

"The perils of the Revolutionary War force them to choose between standing by those they love and fighting for the land they have made their new home," it reads.

The synopsis continues: "Meanwhile, Roger and Brianna face new enemies across time and must battle the forces that threaten to pull their family apart. As loyalties change and painful secrets come to light, Jamie and Claire's marriage is tested like never before."

"With their love binding them over oceans and centuries, can the MacKenzies and Frasers find their way back to each other?"

All of the episodes of season seven were shot between 2022 and 2023.

outlander movie reviews 2022

The 2023 actors and writers' strikes in Hollywood put a pin on almost all productions for a while and caused something of a backlog, but "Outlander" fans will be pleased to learn that the second part of season seven was filmed way ahead of time between 2022 and early 2023.

The cast and crew  returned to the set in Scotland to begin filming  both parts of the season back to back in April 2022 and confirmed  via an announcement on Twitter  that filming had concluded in February 2023.

Heughan also shared the news with his Instagram followers, alongside a photo of himself and Balfe smiling while holding a clapperboard. 

"That's a WRAP!!! 220 shooting days, a whole year of Outlander," he wrote. "THANK YOU to our amazing crew who have worked so hard and to our brilliant fans…we CANNOT WAIT for you to see season 8 @outlander_starz."

The episodes will be based on the events of the seventh and eighth "Outlander" novels by Diana Gabaldon.

outlander movie reviews 2022

Since it began airing in 2014, the romance drama has roughly adapted one book a season. 

However, since season six was truncated, the first part of season seven actually covered some events from Diana Gabaldon's sixth "Outlander" installment, " A Breath of Snow and Ashes ," before delving into the events of the seventh book, " An Echo in the Bone ."

Executive producer Maril Davis has told Business Insider that the second part of the season will continue to wrap up the events of "An Echo in the Bone" before launching into the action of the eighth book, " Written in My Own Heart's Blood ."

That will allow the writers to fully dedicate the show's eighth and final season to the ninth book in the series, " Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone ." While there is another book in the works ,  it's unlikely that it will be published before the show ends.

Sam Heughan, Caitríona Balfe and the rest of the main cast are all expected to return for the new episodes.

outlander movie reviews 2022

"Outlander" wouldn't be "Outlander" without its two main stars, and it's impossible to think of the show continuing without them, so, of course, Heughan and Balfe will be returning.

The pair, who have both held the additional role of executive producers since season five, play 18th-century Scottish warrior Jamie Fraser and his time-hopping, devoted wife Claire Randall Fraser.

In addition, audiences can expect to see the couple's daughter, Brianna MacKenzie (Skelton), and her husband, Roger MacKenzie (Rankin), back on screen.

Given their importance to Brianna and Roger's storyline, their new acquaintance, Buck MacKenzie (Diarmaid Murtagh), and adversary, Rob Cameron (Chris Fulton), will also make an appearance.

Young Ian (John Bell), Lord John Grey (David Berry), and the recently reintroduced William Ransom (Charles Vandervaart) will also be back, Starz has confirmed.

The Hunter siblings (Izzy Meikle-Small and Joey Phillips) will also return, but Davis has hinted that we might not see so much of them, telling BI: "We've left them behind for a little bit, but we are going to come back to them."

Audiences can also look forward to seeing some fan favorites from the show's earlier seasons.

outlander movie reviews 2022

It was announced in late 2022 that several characters not seen since the show's early days will rejoin the action in the show's seventh season.

These include Dougal MacKenzie (Graham McTavish), Laoghaire Fraser (Nell Hudson), Brian Fraser (Andrew Whipp), Joan MacKimmie (Layla Burns), Ian Murray (Steven Cree), and Geillis Duncan (Lotte Verbeek).

Deadline  reported that Jenny Murray, Jamie's sister will also make an appearance, but she will be played by Kristin Atherton, instead of Laura Donnelly, who originated the role.

Given that some of the returning characters are dead, audiences may be wondering how exactly they will be written back into the story . While flashbacks are possible, showrunner Matthew B. Roberts hinted at another option.

"One of the many joys of our epic story is the element of time travel which allows us to revisit some of our favorite characters in different times and places," he said in a statement to BI.

This will be the penultimate season of "Outlander" after it was announced the eighth season would be its last.

outlander movie reviews 2022

In January 2023, Starz confirmed the show would return for one final run after season seven.

"For nearly a decade, 'Outlander' has won the hearts of audiences worldwide, and we're pleased to bring Claire and Jamie's epic love story to a proper conclusion," said Kathryn Busby, Starz's original programming president, in a statement.

Like "Game of Thrones," another much-loved TV drama adapted from a long-running series of books, " Outlander " will likely end its run on television before the final novel is released.

However, fans won't have to say goodbye to "Outlander" for good, as a prequel series has been greenlighted. " Outlander: Blood of My Blood " will tell two parallel origin stories: how Jamie's parents came to meet and Claire's parents' war-time romance.
