Why Did It End? This romantic fantasy had a long and healthy run on Starz, covering all the books from the series by Diana Gabaldon and producing just over one hundred episodes (something that is rare for TV shows these days). It will definitely have an extended run in encore showings, and the spin-off series Outlander: Blood of My Blood is heading into a second season.
