Everyone's favorite show that isn't Game of Thrones is coming back for a fifth season.

In lieu of an official announcement from Starz, Outlander executive producer Ronald D. Moore said Sunday that the show will be returning for a fifth season, Entertainment Weekly reported. Moore noted that there are still "usual negotiations and conversations" about the future of the show, but he seemed completely confident in confirming Season 5.

“We are certainly going to do it," Moore said at the For Your Consideration: Outlander panel. "I have no doubt we are doing a Season 5.”

The pseudo-announcement doesn't come as a huge surprise considering the show's success, critical acclaim, and its source material. The series is based on the best-selling novels of the same name by Diana Gabaldon, and each season roughly adapts one book in the series.

Outlanders Season 3 finished in December last year and Season 4, which is still in production, is expected to kick off this fall. Season 5 likely won't air until 2019 or even 2020.
