Season 6 (2022)

The political unrest in the colonies begins to boil over and the Frasers (Jamie, Claire, Brianna and Roger) try to peacefully live on their isolated homestead in the foothills of North Carolina. Jamie is suddenly faced with walking between the fires of loyalty to the oath he swore to the British crown and following his hope for freedom in the new world. Trouble continues with the Browns as they form 'a committee of safety' that threatens the peace on the ridge dividing a wedge between the native American Indians, the British and the Frasers. In the meantime the Christie family arrive on the Ridge, a throwback to Jamie's time in Ardsmuir Prison and begin to influence the harmony on the Ridge. Malva Christie, the daughter of Tom Christie takes a liking to Claire only to betray her in announcing her pregnancy with Jamie as the father. The season ends with a huge amount of unrest involving the Browns and the Christie's as Jamie and Claire's grip on Fraser's Ridge becomes ever more fragile.

Production


Development

In July 2012, it was reported that Sony Pictures Television had secured the rights to Gabaldon's ''Outlander'' series, with Moore attached to develop the project and Jim Kohlberg (Story Mining and Supply Co) producing. Sony completed the deal with Starz in November 2012, and Moore hired a writing team in April 2013. That June, Starz picked up the ''Outlander'' project for a sixteen-episode order, and in August it was announced that

would be directing the first two episodes. Starz CEO Chris Albrecht later said that he had green-lit several genre projects, including ''Outlander'', to shift the network's series development toward "audiences that were being underserved" to "drive a real fervent fan base that then becomes the kind of advocacy group for the shows themselves". Calling it "a different kind of show than has ever been on, in my memory", Albrecht believed that ''Outlander''s combination of fantasy, action, a strong central romance and a feminist focus would set it apart. Another distinguishing feature of the show is its use of

On November 22, 2021, Gabaldon announced that the sixth season would premiere on March 6, 2022.


Writing

Moore said of the pilot: "There's a lot of things we did in the first thirty to forty minutes that aren't in the book or are compilations of things that happened in the book". He emphasised that he did not want to present the time-travel dimension in a traditional special effects-laden science fiction manner. Describing the adaptation of the first season as "straightforward", he explained: "it was always kind of clear what the basic structure was: Claire's trying to get home, then she meets this guy, now she's falling in love, now she has a conflict, will she go home. You lay it out in a very linear fashion". Regarding the darker tone of the season's second half, he said: "the show becomes more complicated and the emotional journey more wrenching". Regarding the second season and the source novel ''Dragonfly in Amber'', Moore said: Gabaldon was employed as consultant to the TV production. When asked in June 2015 about the adaptation of the first season, she said: "I think they did condense it very effectively ... I ended up getting most of the things that I felt strongly about in there. There were only a few instances where the most important stuff in my opinion didn't get in". In March 2015, she said of the scripts for

: "The Parisian stuff is very good and in fact I'm deeply impressed by the outlines I've seen ... I think they've done a wonderful job of pulling out the most important plot elements and arranging them in a convincing way". Gabaldon wrote the screenplay for the episode " Vengeance is Mine". According to Moore, the writing and pre-production for season four began while season three was still in active production. Gabaldon wrote an episode for the fifth season.
