The news was received positively by some, however others were left furious about the prospect of having to pay for another subscription service to watch the show.
One person summed it up in the comments: "Absolutely nothing exciting about this. I guess that means no more Outlander for me. I won't pay extra, in addition to my Prime subscription for one show."
Another echoed this thought process, adding: "This is not really fair... we already pay a TV license, Sky, Prime... and now we're expected to pay [for] Starz. I don't think so... I should imagine the show will lose a lot of fans now. We can't all afford to keep paying."

A third said: "Money, money, money. Yet another way to grab more money from the fans. Lots of us cannot justify paying out for another sub service just to watch one TV show," while a fourth wrote: "I'm sorry, how is this good news? I'll have to pay an extra subscription when previously I could watch it on amazon which I have got, not everybody is made of money you know."
According to its website, StarzPlay is available via Amazon or through the StarzPlay app for £1.99 for the first six months, and £4.99 thereafter.
The channel also shared the news on its Instagram, writing: "Calling all UK #Outlander fans! We're excited to announce that #STARZPLAY will be the new home of Outlander later this year! Stay tuned for more details."
