After all, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is notorious for rewarding only the newest shows, and “Outlander” is elderly by comparison. “Outlander” was recently snubbed again at the Golden Globes, sparking outrage from fans. “We will then film an extended season seven with 16 episodes next year as life returns to normalcy,” confirmed showrunner Matthew B. UPDATE: Producers confirmed on June 1 that there would be a seventh season after all. “We are not aware that this is the last season,” she stated, “but we don’t have any additional seasons picked up yet.” The good news is that, as of this writing, Gabaldon has penned eight “Outlander” novels with a ninth forthcoming. If Season 4 asked, ‘What is home?’ and Season 5 asked, ‘What are you willing to do to protect your home?’ then Season 6 explores what happens when there is disharmony and division among the inhabitants of the home you’ve created: when you become an outsider, or an ‘outlander,’ so to speak, marginalized and rejected in your own home.” SEE Who knows ‘Outlander’ better? Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish battle to the death (and pay tribute to Scotland) įans have speculated for months whether Season 6 will be the end of the road for “Outlander,” but executive producer Maril Davis seemed to put a pin in that discussion. For the Frasers and their immediate family, ‘home’ is more than simply a site in which they live, it is the place where they are laying the foundations for the rest of their lives. They must now defend this home – established on land granted to them by the Crown – not only from external forces, but also from the increasing strife and conflict in the community within their care. Against this backdrop, which heralds the birth of the new American nation, Claire and Jamie have built a home together at Fraser’s Ridge. The Frasers strive to maintain peace and flourish within a society which – as Claire knows all too well – is unwittingly marching towards Revolution. Establishing a home in the New World is by no means an easy task, particularly in the wild backcountry of North Carolina – and perhaps most significantly – during a period of dramatic political upheaval. Here is Starz’s official tagline: “The sixth season of ‘Outlander’ sees a continuation of Claire and Jamie’s fight to protect those they love, as they navigate the trials and tribulations of life in colonial America.
Watch Gold Derby’s video recap of the finale, titled “Never My Love,” which was based on the end of the novel “The Fiery Cross.” Meanwhile, the threat of the Revolutionary War prompted Claire and Jamie to contemplate what was best for their family. Last we saw Claire and Jamie in the Season 5 finale, which aired in May 2020, Claire had returned to Frasers’ Ridge after being brutalized by Lionel Brown ( Ned Dennehy). The first season was by far the longest, with 16 total episodes (broken up into two equal halves), while Seasons 2-4 each consisted of 13 episodes.
This sixth season will be comprised of eight episodes, with the premiere being a special 90-minute installment. SEE New ‘Men in Kilts’ trailer gives us a glimpse into the epic Scottish adventures of ‘Outlander’ stars Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish
Starz revealed on World “Outlander” Day (June 1) that the new season would premiere in “early 2022.” Production on Season 6 wrapped the first week of June, so now the show has to go through the grueling post-production process. Production officially started on February 9, 2021, with renewed attention toward health safety protocols like social distancing and mask wearing. Nearly a year later, Starz and Sony Pictures Television finally called “action” in Scotland on the brand new episodes.
The sixth season of “Outlander” was originally supposed to start filming in May 2020, but those plans were put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic. SEE ‘Outlander’ fans, rejoice!
