Outlander Series News -- Director Update

From DG's Facebook page:

JOHN DAHL TO DIRECT FIRST TWO EPISODES OF STARZ & SONY PICTURES TV’S ANTICIPATED NEW ORIGINAL SERIES “OUTLANDER”

From “Battlestar Galactica” Executive Producer Ronald D. Moore

Beverly Hills, Calif., August 20, 2013 – Starz in association with Sony Pictures Television has announced today that director John Dahl (“Dexter,” “Breaking Bad,” “Justified”) has signed on to direct the first two episodes of the highly anticipated original series “Outlander.” The series will be adapted from Diana Gabaldon’s international best-selling books, with the first two episodes written by executive producer, Ronald D. Moore (“Battlestar Galactica,” “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” “Star Trek: The Next Generation”). “Outlander” is set to premiere on STARZ in 2014.

The “Outlander” series spans the genres of romance, science fiction, history, and adventure in one epic tale. It follows the story of Claire Randall, a married British combat nurse from 1945 who is mysteriously swept back in time to 1743, where she is immediately thrown into an unknown world where her life is threatened. When she is forced to marry Jamie Fraser, a chivalrous and romantic young Scottish warrior, a passionate affair is ignited that tears Claire’s heart between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

Dahl has most recently directed episodes of Showtime’s “Dexter,” “Homeland” and “Ray Donovan,” as well as FX’s “Justified,” HBO’s “True Blood,” and AMC’s “Breaking Bad.” He has previously worked with Ronald D. Moore on “Battlestar Galactica” and “Caprica.” His feature film credits include Rounders, You Kill Me and The Last Seduction. He also wrote and directed Red Rocks West.

Dahl is represented by UTA, Brillstein Entertainment Partners and Hansen Jacobson.

Diana Gabaldon’s seven-book series has sold more than 25 million copies worldwide and has graced the New York Times best-sellers list six times. The eighth installment of the “Outlander” series is slated to be released in the spring of 2014.

  • I  would watch this based on the director and the executive producer are. This should be great.
    Anniversary
  • Do I have it right that in the TV world, the producers are the head guys, while director are not as important?  It's the opposite of movies, where the director runs the show and producers just bring in the money and everything, right?

    Either way, I like Dexter, and I LOVE Breaking Bad and Justified, so this all sounds good to me!
  • I have such high hopes for this. Just last night, I was trying to work in the "we need to get Starz added to our cable lineup" angle. DH is not having it. He keeps saying I can wait and just get the DVDs. Pshaw! What kind of crack is he smoking? I will need to see that shit right away, especially since I know you guys will be posting about it and I will be oh so jealous!

    As I understand it Executive Producers have input into the final product (script/filming/etc) , Directors run filming and such, and producers bring the money.
