What happened in Season 2
"Outlander" Season 2 had been a supercharged season, what with Claire getting pregnant and time paradoxes happening across the storyboard. Claire and Jaime had been largely involved in attempts to subdue the Jacobite rising by diverting King Louis XV's funds from the impostor Charles Stuart (Andrew Gower). Randall (Tobias Menzies) had raped a young boy and was subsequently challenged by Jaime into a duel. However, the combined trauma of the two evils cost Claire her baby.
Before the Battle of Culloden, Jaime convinced Claire to return to her own time to protect their unborn child, while Claire convinced Randall to marry the mother of Alex's baby, securing Frank's future. When she returned, she saw Geillis Duncan (Lotte Verbeek) passing through the standing stones. Jaime was alive after all, prompting Claire to vow to return to him soon.
What to expect from Season 3
According to Moore, "Outlander" Season 3 premiere will not be as "supersized" as the Season 2 finale, which ran to 90 minutes. CSN reported that the majority of Season 3 will zero in on the Battle of Culloden's aftermath, while two major deaths are expected to happen next season.
While there aren't confirmed dates of "Outlander's" return to the small screen, reports speculated that Season 3 will premiere on April 2017, around the same time Seasons 1 and 2 premiered in 2014 and 2016.
