But from his wife Jamie knows that three years hence the shot heard round the world will be fired, and the result will be independence-with those loyal to the King either dead or in exile. With chaos brewing, the governor calls upon Jamie Fraser to unite the backcountry and safeguard the colony for King and Crown. Men lie dead in the streets of Boston, and in the backwoods of North Carolina, isolated cabins burn in the forest. Here's a spoiler-free description from Penguin: The year is 1772, and on the eve of the American Revolution, the long fuse of rebellion has already been lit.
Interestingly, the show has already caught up to some of the most major events in the book-including Claire's capture by Lionel Brown. It will be based on A Breath of Snow and Ashes.Ī Breath of Snow and Ashes is Gabaldon's sixth book in the Outlander series. Get a taste of the new installment with the first-look photos below. The cast is all set to return, including Caitriona Balfe, Sam Heughan, Sophie Skelton, Richard Rankin, and John Bell. There will be eight episodes with a 90-minute premiere. Though there's no exact premiere date yet, Outlander Season 6 will arrive in early 2022, Starz announced.
In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Starz CEO Chris Albrecht said "Fans can rest assured their beloved Claire and Jamie will be back facing new challenges, adversaries and adventures." It premieres in early 2022. Starz announced the news all the way back in May 2018, confirming that like Season 5, Season 6 will consist of 12 episodes. Here's what we know about Season 6, and keep in mind there are some mild spoilers ahead. And now that production is underway, we have a pretty good idea of what to expect-in part thanks to Diana Gabaldon's book series. Outlander's fifth season, which concluded last May, saw Claire and Jamie settled at Fraser's Ridge with the inevitability of the Revolutionary War looming in the distance. Another droughtlander is upon us, but there's some light at the end of this parched tunnel: The show is officially coming back to Starz for Season 6.
