The Outlander sneak peek gives millions of fans the chance to watch Episode 101: Sassenach* one week in advance of its premiere on Saturday, August 9 at 9:00 pm ET/PT exclusively on STARZ.

About Outlander
The Outlander series spans the genres of romance, science fiction, history, and adventure in one epic tale. The series, adapted from Diana Gabaldon's international best-selling books by Ronald D. Moore ( Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: The Next Generation ), follows the story of Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe), a married combat nurse from 1945, who is mysteriously swept back in time to 1743. Upon her arrival, she is immediately thrown into an unknown world where her life is threatened. But when she is forced to marry Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), a chivalrous and romantic young Scottish warrior, a passionate relationship is ignited. Now, Claires heart is torn between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.
Outlander is produced by Tall Ship Productions, Story Mining & Supply Company and Left Bank Pictures in association with Sony Pictures Television.
*Sassenach - Outlander or foreigner; more specifically an English person.
