Outlander Season 6 To Premiere This December, Starz Confirms Series Will Be Back For Season 7

Outlander spoilers and updates reveals fans have been wondering why season six hasn’t been released yet? The reason for the delay in production was as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak. According to one of the movie’s stars (Sam Heughan) in a Q&A segment on Twitter, production plans and schedules were entirely altered by the highly contagious disease that ensured everyone stayed indoors for close to six months in 2020.

However, the good news is that the casts are currently in Scotland filming the sixth season expected to premiere late this year. Heughan revealed the first episode of the sixth season is underway while they will complete the rest of the season’s episodes as soon as possible.

“We have started… Ep 1!!! So excited. But you’re going to love the rest of this season.” he wrote on his official Twitter handle.
