When Is the Outlander Season 6 Finale Coming Out?
Unlike prior seasons, this one will include a total of eight episodes. The plot will be heavily influenced by Diana Gabaldon’s sixth book in the series, “A Breath of Snow and Ashes.” The series had to cut the number of episodes in Season 6 due to Covid issues on production. On April 25th, the final episode will be released.
Will There Be More Seasons of Outlander?
If you’re scared that there won’t be any more episodes after Season 6 ends, don’t be! Outlander has been officially renewed for Season 7, despite the fact that there were less episodes this time. The seventh novel in the series, “An Echo in the Bone,” will be the topic of the following season. There will be 12 episodes, and the main cast is likely to return.
Christina Davis, former Starz President of Original Programming, spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about how the period drama fits within the #TakeTheLead program, which encourages women to take the lead in front of and behind the camera.
“Our strategy is embodied by the successful series Outlander, which features a strong female lead character and an incredible team of storytellers. We’re excited to follow Claire and Jamie’s adventures in America during the Revolutionary War, as well as more time travel, in the coming season.”
Is There an Outlander Spinoff?
Not only was the program renewed for Season 7 before Season 6 wrapped filming, but there’s another reason for die-hard fans to be excited. Starz has started producing an Outlander prequel series, according to Variety. Despite the lack of details regarding the plot, showrunner Matthew B. Roberts will serve as a writer and producer on the new project. Ronald D. Moore, the show’s creator, will serve as an executive producer alongside Maril Davis on the prequel. The project will be supported by Sony Pictures Television, same as the original series.
Despite the lack of confirmation on the overarching plot of the Outlander prequel, it’s feasible that, like the books that inspired the series, Diana Gabaldon’s prequel books will influence the spinoff. Virgins was published in 2013 as part of the Dangerous Woman anthology series, which is set in the 1740s and features young Jamie Fraser and Ian Murray. Gabaldon also disclosed that a prequel about Jamie’s parents, Ellen MacKenzie and Brian Fraser, is in the works. The author published the following quote on her Facebook page:
“Ellen MacKenzie, eldest daughter of Jacob Ruadh MacKenzie, chief of Clan MacKenzie—well, the late chief, if only by moments—grabbed Ailidh Watt from behind and hauled her out of sight, clapping a hand over her slobbering mouth to silence her sobs.”
