The US TV series Outlander will be appearing in the UK on Amazon.
The series, shot in Scotland and based in studios in Cumbernauld, will be available through the Amazon Prime Instant Video service.
Fans of the series, and the best selling books by Diana Gabaldon, have long sought information on when the series would be available in the UK.
Broadcast magazine, a key screen industry publication, say Sony Pictures have done a deal with Amazon for UK broadcast rights.
The series will shoot a second season in Scotland this year.
It stars Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe in its lead roles.
It was developed for television by Ronald D Moore and also stars Tobias Menzes, Gary Lewis and Graham McTavish, among others.
Sony declined to comment on the reports last night.
It is understood by The Herald that the series will appear on the Amazon service in the spring.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
