As you may have expected from the events of season 5, the story follows Claire and Jamie as they find themselves low-key on the wrong side of history during the American Revolution. Game of Thrones, much? Tell me that doesn't sound like A Song of Ice and Fire remix.
The show (mostly) faithfully follows Diana Gabaldon's book series, and so the sixth season will adapt the sixth book, A Breath of Snow and Ashes. On behalf of the Outlander family, we thank you very much. Dinna fash, we will then film an extended season 7 with 16 episodes next year as life returns to normalcy."
"Filming in 2021 has presented an unprecedented set of challenges which led us to the decision to truncate the season in order to bring the fans the most vibrant and dynamic season as soon as possible. "We are excited to get into the editing room to work on bringing the fans one step closer to reuniting with the family back on Fraser's Ridge," showrunner Matthew B. But thanks to Sam Heughan again (whatever would we do without this wonderful soul?), we do know season 7 will make up for it with double the amount of episodes than its predecessor. And before we all start screaming about the shortened season, we need to remember COVID stopped production and limited the amount of episodes filmed. Unlike 5, the sixth season will consist of eight episodes. Actually, the show was renewed approximately a thousand years ago, in 2018, per Starz via The Hollywood Reporter. #hathair #outlander /aWIjqbmPXZ- Sam Heughan DecemOutlander IS renewed for season 6.
