It was only a matter of time before Diana Gabaldon’s bestselling Outlander saga made the leap from book to hit TV series, and the millions of readers captivated by the epic romance of Claire Beauchamp Randall and Jamie Fraser have eagerly followed.
Now the must-watch drama has inspired this must-have guide, which reveals that it takes a village (or perhaps a Scottish isle) to bring the breathtaking world of Outlander to life in front of our eyes. Spanning the first two seasons of the Starz network sensation, The Making of Outlander leads readers behind the scenes and straight into the action as cast members, writers, producers, musicians, costume designers, set decorators, technicians, and more share the many adventures and challenges they face to make this sweeping saga come alive on the screen.
In exclusive interviews, the show’s stars, including Caitriona Balfe (Claire), Sam Heughan (Jamie), and Tobias Menzies (Frank Randall/Black Jack Randall), discuss the daunting task of embodying some of fiction’s most beloved characters—and satisfying the high expectations of devoted Outlander readers. Executive producer and showrunner Ronald D. Moore looks at the inner workings of the writers’ room, shares his crew’s travels to the authentic overseas locations, and chronicles the brainstorming, building, breakneck pacing, and boundless energy that make everything from the show’s architecture to its outfits period-perfect. In addition, the book examines all the Outlander episodes through exclusive interviews with their writers and directors, providing fascinating facts into the making of each hour.
Best of all, The Making of Outlander offers a veritable feast of lavish photographs—including an array of images spotlighting the stars in all their characters’ grandeur and up-close personal portraits. Featuring an introduction by Diana Gabaldon herself, this magnificent insider’s look at the world of the Outlander TV series is the companion all fans will want by their side.

This is a wonderful book for the Outlander fans. It shows you the background of the adaption to the TV screen. Even though I like the TV series, I feel they left out some important parts from the book or changed it to something that takes away from the love between Jamie and Claire. Nevertheless, this book is a nice extra on the background of the making of. I do miss a very important part in the book though. Why wasn't Àdhamh ó Broin given a chapter for himself as the Scottish Gaelic consultant who helped make everything with the Highlanders so authentic? Why not a little more background on how it was to find out what to make the characters say, how easy or difficult it was for them to learn, etc? Gaelic is such an important part of the whole thing. I mean, many fans of the books have taken up learning Scottish Gaelic and to not have Scottish Gaelic represented more in a book about the Making of Outlander seems like a big loss to me. I think a lot of fans would've loved reading about that more...
