With season 5 already approaching the finish line, how far is the next season? All Outlander fans already know that the show creators promised the 6th season, right back in 2018. Here are some updates from our side.
When did the show get renewed for the sixth season?
On 9 May in 2018, Starz, the channel airing the show, made the announcement promising both 5th and the 6th season together, at once.
“Fans can rest assured their beloved Claire and Jamie will be back facing new challenges, adversaries and adventures in seasons five and six as we delve into American history and continue the story of the Frasers as they settle in the New World,” said Chris Albrecht, Starz CEO and president, in an official statement.
Where is season 6 talking in terms of production?
This question’s answer has another piece of enthralling news for fans. Sam Heughan, who plays the role of chivalrous romantic warrior Jamie Fraser, talked about filming already in progress in a Twitter open Q&A session. He further said that the whole team is on the ground doing the shooting of the sixth chapter of this historical mind-bending saga. He is very excited about story-line of the next season.
Caitriona Balfe, who plays the role of English war nurse Claire Randall, was asked about the show in a different interview. She said that the scriptwriters are yet working upon the upcoming episodes of the sixth season.
When should we anticipate the roll out Outlander season 6?
Since the 5th season premiered in this February, we cannot expect the launch dates of season 6 any earlier than 2021.
But the fans are also pondering over yet another question: will season 6 be the last one?
