Starz’s hit show Outlander will return for its highly-anticipated season 3 on Sept. 10 at 8 p.m. ET. This season will start off with Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe) in different centuries. After a devastating goodbye in the season 2 finale, a pregnant Claire traveled back through the stones to the 20th century to protect herself and her unborn child. Jamie was forced to watch the love of his life, who is carrying his child, disappear for what he thinks is forever. HollywoodLife.com talked EXCLUSIVELY with Sam at EW’s Comic-Con Party in July 2017 about what’s to come.

You’re going to get to see that journey, and I’m honestly very, very proud of it.”
