OUTLANDER Four-Part End Of Summer Series Launches Sunday

With a long "Droughtlander" ahead, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is providing OUTLANDER fans with a much-needed respite by launching a four-part End of Summer Series.

Each Sunday for four weeks beginning August 23 at 1pm EDT/10am PDT, the Outlander Collector Facebook page will release a new, thematic episode celebrating the show and its incredible fans. The End of Summer Series is being released in support of Doctors Without Borders, an international humanitarian aid organization working in over 70 countries around the world. Viewers at home will be able to use Facebook's donate feature to contribute to the non-profit's lifesaving medical humanitarian work.

Along with segments featuring all-new conversations with talent and figures integral to the Outlander universe, each episode will also reveal a sneak peek at an original scripted "Outlander Untold" scene featuring fan-favorite characters, to be available when the fifth season arrives on Blu-ray, DVD, digital and limited Collector's Edition on September 15.
