As someone who's been following Outlander since season 1, this is such exciting news! The original series gave us such rich historical context about Scotland - I wonder if the prequel will explore any colonial connections with India during that era? 🤔 Either way, can't wait to see how they develop these new love stories!

Honestly, I wish Indian production houses would invest in historical dramas with this level of production quality. We have such rich history that could be portrayed beautifully if given proper budgets. Outlander sets a great benchmark for period dramas.

The original Outlander was my pandemic binge! So happy to hear about the prequel renewal even before season 1 airs. Though I do hope they don't stretch the story too thin - sometimes prequels lose the magic of the original. Fingers crossed! 🤞

Not sure how I feel about this. The original Outlander was special because of Claire and Jamie's chemistry. Prequels often feel forced. But I'll give it a chance - maybe it will surprise us! At least the production values look top-notch as always.

Yay! More historical drama to look forward to 😍 The costumes and sets in Outlander were always so detailed - hope they maintain that standard. Also curious to see if they'll include any references to the British Raj period given the timeline.

While I'm happy for Outlander fans, I do wish Indian audiences showed this much enthusiasm for our own historical shows. We have amazing stories from the Maratha empire, Vijayanagara kingdom etc. that deserve this kind of attention and budget!
