In 2010, Gabaldon adapted the first third of Outlander into a graphic novel, illustrated by Hoang Nguyen.

{{Main|Lord John series}}

The Lord John series is a sequence of novels and shorter works that center on Lord John Grey, a recurring secondary character from the Outlander novels. The spin-off series consists of five novellas and three novels, which all take place between 1756 and 1761, during the events of Gabaldon's Voyager. They can be generally categorized as historical mysteries, and the three novels are shorter and focus on fewer plot threads than the main Outlander books. Several of the Lord John books have been released in audiobook form, read by Jeff Woodman.

Gabaldon was inspired by the Doctor Who character Jamie McCrimmon to set her series in Jacobite Scotland, and to name its protagonist Jamie.{{cite web |url=http://www.dianagabaldon.com/resources/faq/faq-about-the-books/#choosescotland |title=FAQ: About the Books |last1=Gabaldon |first1=Diana |author-link1=Diana Gabaldon |publisher=DianaGabaldon.com |access-date=20 August 2014 |archive-date=December 23, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171223042559/http://www.dianagabaldon.com/resources/faq/faq-about-the-books/#choosescotland |url-status=live }}

{{quote |text=This character wore a kilt, which I thought rather fetching, and demonstrated—in this particular episode—a form of pigheaded male gallantry that I've always found endearing: the strong urge on the part of a man to protect a woman, even though he may realize that she's plainly capable of looking after herself.{{cite web |url=http://www.dianagabaldon.com/excerpts/toc_prologue.html |title=Prologue from The Outlandish Companion, p. xvii–xxix |last1=Gabaldon |first1=Diana |author-link1=Diana Gabaldon |year=1999 |publisher=DianaGabaldon.com |access-date=20 August 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140821155905/http://www.dianagabaldon.com/excerpts/toc_prologue.html |archive-date=21 August 2014 }}}}

==Musical==

In 2010, a 14-song cycle based on Outlander was released under the title Outlander: The Musical. With music by Kevin Walsh and lyrics by Mike Gibb, the project was approved by Gabaldon after Gibb had approached the author in Scotland with the idea to adapt her novel into a stage production. As Gabaldon recalled, "I laughed and said, 'That’s the screwiest idea I’ve heard yet – go ahead.' So they did, and the results were stunning." Though the stage production remains in development, the 14-song cycle is available on CD from Amazon.com and for download on iTunes.{{cite web |url=http://www.dianagabaldon.com/2011/10/outlander-the-musical-is-now-on-itunes/ |title=OUTLANDER: The Musical is now on iTUNES! |publisher=DianaGabaldon.com |date=October 15, 2011 |access-date=July 30, 2014 |archive-date=August 8, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140808025128/http://www.dianagabaldon.com/2011/10/outlander-the-musical-is-now-on-itunes/ |url-status=live }}{{cite web|url=http://www.outlanderthemusical.com/|title=Outlander: The Musical (Official website)|access-date=July 30, 2014|archive-date=July 30, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100730083421/http://www.outlanderthemusical.com/|url-status=live}}

In 2012, Broadway composer Jill Santoriello began collaborating with Gibb and Walsh on the project, writing the music and cowriting the lyrics with Gibb for a new song called "One More Time." The song was recorded with vocals by Rebecca Robbins.
