A new trailer for the upcoming Starz TV adaptation of the “Outlander” series shows more of protagonist Claire’s travels in time.

The “Outlander” series by Diana Gabaldon follows Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe), a married former nurse living in 1945 who travels back in time to eighteenth-century Scotland. While there, she meets and falls in love with Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) and is torn between staying there and going back to her husband, Frank (“Game of Thrones” actor Tobias Menzies).

The new clip shows Claire’s life with Frank as Claire herself speaks in voiceover.

“People disappear all the time,” she says. “Most are found eventually. Disappearances, after all, have explanations – usually.”

The trailer shows Claire being taken to Castle Leoch, the home of the MacKenzie clan and Jamie’s relatives.

“You need not be scared so long as I’m with you,” Jamie tells Claire.

“And when you’re not with me?” she asks him. 

“Be careful,” he says.

The “Outlander” TV adaptation premieres this summer. Check out the full trailer here.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
