'Outlander' Season 2 Plot News, Spoilers: Executive Producer Ronald D. Moore Talks About Claire and Jamie's Future
Starz's popular fantasy TV drama series "Outlander" has now concluded its first season and fans are now looking forward as to what the next chapter will bring for Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe).
Executive producer Ronald D. Moore said right off the bat that Jamie's physical and emotional tortures, which he suffered from the hands of Black Jack Randall (Tobias Menzies), will "echo throughout the second season in the relationship [between him and Claire]."
"His development as a character and how he deals with certain story points," Moore told TV Line.

As reported earlier, the second season will now be based on Diana Gabaldon's second book of the "Outlander" novel series titled "Dragonfly in Amber." The new plot will see the couple in France.
"They're going to Paris, and they're going to be dealing with the French aristocracy. So you're already in a completely different planet than where we were with Season 1. Scotland is about heavy stone, rough wood, dark tabletops, smoke and candlelit rooms, and now you're in world of gilt, fine China, glassware and costumes that are made of silks and bright colors," the executive producer teased.
The tone, according to Moore, will be a lot "more political."
"It's going to be a whole different tone, a whole different … playing the story as much more political. We're dealing with the Jacobite Rebellion. It's much more about deception, and lies within lies, and the gossips and the surroundings of Paris. And dinner parties, and going to the court of Louis the XV — and if you know those books, there's St. Germain, and there's Master Raymond, and there's more of an occult feeling to a lot of that stuff. [Plus], she's pregnant, and he's got the aftermath of Jack Randall," he revealed.
"Outlander" was renewed for Season 2 back in August of last year. The new installment, according to reports, will be comprised of "at least" 13 episodes.
