Most of the characters on the show have suffered a lot since the show began back in 2014. Well, Outlander Season 5 seems to be no exception. A cast member recently spilled some spoilers about the upcoming installment. The Frasers may have to face much more drama than ever before. Here’s everything to know.
Over the course of its five to six years run, Outlander has constantly been a fan favorite. It opened up to much love with its debut and still is one of Starz’s most successful projects. The popular historical drama inspires its premise from Diana Gabaldon’s series of novels. Starring Sam Heughan and Catriona Balfe in the lead, the show revolves around the ups and downs in the characters’ unique story.
Outlander Season 5 & 6: Renewal
The show has been on the peak of its popularity ever since it debuted on the channel. Hence, Starz was pretty confident about the expected reception and took no time to renew the series for future runs. In fact, the network went on to greenlight two seasons altogether back in May 2018. While the filming for Outlander Season 5 is now under the cover, the cast and crew are already prepared for another installment.
Sneak Peek Into The Fifth Season
Starz recently rewarded us with the first four minutes of Outlander Season 5. The sneak peek video was released via live telecast on the network. However, it will soon arrive on its social media platforms and YouTube channel as well. As of now, here’s everything that we could decipher from the sneak peek video.
As the sneak peek video begins, we’re taken straight back to the time when Jamie was young, and his mother, Ellen, dies. Upon this moment, Murtagh breaks the news to him and promises him to always support him. However, this equation between Jaime and his godfather is about to change as they find themselves on opposite sides of the coming war in the future.
On the other hand, as the flashback ends, we’re taken to Roger and Brianna’s wedding day. Jamie helps Roger to get ready for the day. Also, we get to see the beautiful silver ring that Murtagh has made. Brianna’s wedding ring has a similar design to that of Claire’s. The conversation between Jaime and the groom is heartwarming as fans had been waiting for this moment since long. We hope that things go well in the latest season.
Star Reveals Season 5 Secrets!
Lead actor Sam Heughan reveals major details about the future of his character on the show. Heughan explains that Outlander Season 5 will be tough for Jaime due to his deal with the British. He is now working for two different camps while striving to protect his people and Fraser’s Ridge. The actor frankly adds that Jamie’s line of thinking is more in the direction of the regulators than the Brits.
While trying to protect his family, Jamie also has to do several dreadful things that may hurt his loved ones. In fact, Outlander Season 5 could lead him to lie to Claire. This may, in fact, lead to rifts between the couple in the future. Heughan also mentions that his character may get many emotional scars in addition to what he already had previously. As per the looks, the latest season seems to bring much suffering in the Frasers’ lives.
