A steamy first look at 'Outlander' Season 5 is here
It's only been three months since Outlander aired its Season 4 finale on Starz, but we already have a first look at the upcoming fifth season. Think of it as a tiny drop of incentive during this hiatus, a.k.a. the Droughtlander.
As Season 5 begins production in Scotland, here's a glimpse of Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe) sharing their trademark lovesick gaze.
Based on Diana Gabaldon's series of books, Outlander follows World War II nurse Claire, who travels back in time to the 1760s and falls in love with Scottish soldier Jamie.
Season 5 will be based on the book Fiery Cross.
Jamie and Claire have decided to stay in North Carolina and establish their community of Fraser's Ridge. The timing isn't great because as she knows, the American Revolution is almost here. Against this backdrop, they are forced to ask themselves just how far they are willing to go to protect their home, and praying there will be no reason to light the “fiery cross,” an ancient Scottish call to arms.
Sure, it sounds intense, but don't worry. If there are two people who will find time for passion amid all of this, it's Jamie and Claire. They don't call it a historical, romantic time-travel drama for nothing!
Outlander also stars Sophie Skelton, Richard Rankin, Graham McTavish, César Domboy, Lauren Lyle, John Bell, and David Berry.
A premiere date for Season 5 is TBD but Starz has already renewed Outlander for Season 6.
