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.

Episodes in the Outlander End-of-Summer Series include:

  • Book Corner with Diana Gabaldon and Maril Davis (August 23):
    Outlander author Diana Gabaldon and Executive Producer Maril Davis look back at the process of adapting Gabaldon’s work for the screen and answer die-hard fan questions.
