Revised and Updated Edition[]

In January 2015, Diana Gabaldon announced that a revised and updated edition of the original Companion would be released on March 31, 2015.[1] The new edition will include most of the original content, though obsolete material will be replaced with new content, such as sections called, "Book to Film: How we Got from There to Here" and "A Brief Account of My Career as a TV Actor". The new sections on the television adaptation will include previously unreleased photographs from STARZ.
