‘Outlander’ Season 2, Episode 10 Spoilers: "Prestonpans" – Jamie’s Troops Join Highland Army to Win War; Producer Teases Possible Spin-Offs for Series

Sam Heughan plays lead character Jamie on Starz' 'Outlander'

‘Outlander’ season 2, episode 10 will find Jamie (Sam Heughan) and his troops joining a bigger Highland Army to win the war against the British. “Prestonpans” will highlight an epic battle scene where Jamie will most likely win as revealed by Claire’s (Caitriona Balfe) flashbacks. Meanwhile, producer Matt Roberts teased possible spin-offs for the series following the introduction of a new major character from the original books.

During an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Roberts revealed that the incoming episode, entitled “Prestonpans”, will follow Jamie as he assimilates his troops with a bigger Highland Army for the imminent Jacobite Rebellion they have been training hard for.

Roberts said, “The episode encompasses the Battle of Prestonpans… Prince Charlie returns and the first half is all these people trying to jockey for a position with him. Jamie is the one person who doesn’t have to since he already has the Prince's ear. And through knowledge of Claire, he knows they're going to win this battle, so he's a little more relaxed than you would normally see a person going into a battle. So what we need to show in "Prestonpans" is how they win this battle. We stay true to the actual battle; it was about eight minutes long total and we pretty much almost show it in real time.”

According to Carter Matt, the epic battle against the British may set the events for the series’ next season, which has been officially renewed by Starz. Roberts admitted that although the show is “a beast to produce”, it may be coming back earlier than fans think.

Starz greenlit two additional seasons for ‘Outlander’ even before season 2 aired its finale, according to another article on TV Guide. Roberts joked about the prospect of possibly expanding the series’ small screen universe with possible spin-offs such as one focusing on Lord John "William" Grey (Oscar Kennedy), another major character from the original books by Diana Gabaldon.

He said, "We haven't really discussed it seriously if we could do that, but that would be something for Starz to order before we could start talking about it seriously. But we know there's a whole line of books that Diana wrote about just that one character, so it was great to have his introduction in my script. "

‘Outlander’ season 2’s episode 10 is scheduled to air on Starz on June 11, 2016.
