The 'Outlander' Season 6 Trailer Brings Revolution to Fraser's Ridge
it's been almost two years since the last time we saw Claire and Jamie Fraser on Starz's wildly popular time jumping historical drama Outlander. But the wait is almost over. The highly anticipated sixth season is set to arrive on the premium cable network this March, and if the trailer for the new episodes is any indication, there's plenty of romance and tension ahead.
For those that don't know, Outlander follows the story of Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe), who begins the series as a World War II nurse. (Yes, really.) Thanks to a group of magical standing stones, Claire is transported back to mid-eighteenth century Scotland, where she's forced to wed, but eventually falls in love with, handsome Scottish warrior Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan). By the time Season 6 rolls around, the Frasers are homesteaders in the colony of North Carolina, as the American Revolution looms in the distance. The new season will explore how challenging life was for the settlers in early America, and relationships will be tested as Claire, Brianna (Sophie Skelton), and Roger (Richard Rankin) all attempt to adjust to a new world that is not their own.
The synopsis for the new season reads as follows.
