Outlander season 5, which started airing on February 16, finished its run on Starz on May 10, 2021. The fifth season having 12 episodes, was based on the fifth book in the Outlander series, ‘The Fiery Cross.’
It was renewed for the sixth run in May 2018, and the production was to begin in May 2020. However, the Covid19 pandemic caused a delay in production, and it finally started in February 2021. The creator also trimmed the total number of episodes in Outlander Season 6 to eight due to the delay.
Meanwhile, Outlander’s official Twitter handle shared a post on June 1, 2021, confirming that the production has officially wrapped. Although the tweet didn’t mention any official release date for the Outlander Season 6, it revealed that the series will arrive in 2022. And that the first episode will be 90 minutes long.
Unfortunately, there’s no official release date for the sixth run of Outlander yet. However, in an interview, the series star Sam Heughan hinted that the new season might arrive in February next year. Although, it is true that the season is currently in the post-production stage and will hit our TV screens soon. However, with questions the fifth season left us with, Outlander Season6 might just be worth the wait.
