The network has also unveiled the first official poster for the program. Check it out here:
The key art depicts Caitriona Balfe as Claire, a married British combat nurse from 1945 who mysteriously goes back in time to 1743 Scotland.
Once there, she’s torn between her husband Frank Randall (Tobias Menzies) and Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), a Scottish warrior who comes to her rescue.
