Outlander Weekly Roundup: A season 3 marathon; other odds & ends

Ready for another edition of our Outlander Weekly Roundup? We’re branding this after starting it up last week — every Sunday during the Droughtlander (and maybe longer, we’ll see), these pieces will be provided to share with you a bit of fresh news coupled with some of the headlines from the week. It’s a busy time, especially during the holidays, and we want to be able to be fully caught up on everything!

Speaking of the holidays, we come bearing some good news if you’re planning to watch Outlander on Christmas — Starz is making it especially easy on you! Starting at 11:00 a.m. Eastern on Christmas Day you can catch up on the third season, or watch again as a Christmas gift to yourself. Either way, this is a great opportunity to see the epic love story of Jamie and Claire Fraser. Kudos to the network for giving it some extra love.

Starz is using this weekend to promote many of their most-popular series; today on Christmas Eve, they are replaying the most-recent season of Power.

(In case you need a reminder at the end of the article, we’ve enclosed a tweet.)
