Anne Kenney's notable works on 'Outlander' and more
"Outlander" has to move forward without Anne Kenney and her absence will not go unnoticed. There has a lot of space to fill in since Kenney also worked as the pilot's co-executive producer before they promoted her as one of the executive producers in Season 2.
Fans knew Kenney for her critically acclaimed episodes which include some of the major plots of the entire show. She wrote several Season 1 episodes such as "The Way Out," "The Wedding" and "Lallybroch.” For the second season, she worked on “Useful Occupations and Deceptions," “The Fox’s Lair" and “The Hail Mary” with Ira Steven Behr.
Kenney, who already made her mark on the small screen before "Outlander," was part of "Family Law" and "L.A. Law" in the 1990s. She later took writing and EP roles for "Greek," "Hellcats," and "Beautiful People." ABC Family's "Switched at Birth" is her most recent TV credit.
