Outlander

That's what we get to do as storytellers, show things that aren't palatable, but also try to bring something positive to the tough conversation”

It was lovely actually, almost like picking a puzzle with the writers about how we show it in a true way to her. If you’re going to show a rape and an attack as brutal as the one we did, it was very important for me to invest as much if not more time exploring the recovery. We started these conversations about what the recovery was going to be like last season itself because we knew we wanted to devote time. There’s a lot going on in her life that Claire isn’t aware of. In the beginning, it’s a real bond. It’s difficult for Claire to figure out how to cope with the trauma. CB: Bree has quite an understanding of what Claire has been through because of what happened when she travels back in time in season four. CB: Malva is a curious little creature who comes onto the Ridge. Claire really feels for her. In terms of Claire’s journey, it was really important for me to tell the other side of the traumatic events she faced. Caitriona Balfe: First of all, we were so excited to get back to work. The first episode, “Echoes,” kicks off Claire’s journey of recovery after being kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and rescued in the season-five finale (which aired all the way back in May 2020). The installment also introduces game-changing new characters from Diana Gabaldon’s novels, the inspiration for the show. But the show also excels at placing Claire and Jamie Fraser in some seriously tragic situations.

Outlander,” the hit Starz series adapted from Diana Gabaldon's best-selling, genre-bending novels, returned to television on Sunday, Mar.

“His resolve has become much more hardened [along with] his piousness and he feels like he has God at his back at every turn, that he’s righteous and Jamie has to work through that.” He knows what it’s done to Claire and Roger and Bree. So he can see that the traumas sometimes take the edges off of people. “You know, Tom is a very interesting character, and he wears his religion very strongly and leads with it at all times, and I think for Claire, she finds that quite tiresome,” Balfe shares of Claire’s feelings towards Jamie’s old acquaintance. Expect the pattern of behavior to continue as Balfe teases, “it [takes] a long time for her to actually admit to herself that she is becoming dependent on it and that she’s not okay. He knows that there’ll be a time when he needs to switch sides,” Heughan adds, noting Jamie’s prior knowledge of the incoming war from his time-traveling wife and daughter. “Really, what starts to happen is she uses it as a crutch, and this becomes a way for her to escape the noise and the fear that’s bubbling up within her.”

At the beginning of Outlander Season 6, audiences are transported back to 1753, when Jamie Fraser was still incarcerated at Ardsmuir Prison. Jamie, alongside ...

In Outlander Season 6, the American Revolution is fast approaching and the British government is doing everything it can to prepare for the outbreak of war. She's knocking herself out and Jamie is not aware of what she's been through. And Jamie knows, well he has an indication that he is on the wrong side, the losing side. So, the fact that she doesn't tell him becomes a real problem." In Episode 1 of Outlander Season 6, we learn Jamie and Tom have never seen eye to eye. Despite her attempts to escape, she was sadly beaten, tied up, and raped by Lionel's men. He knows from history and knowledge of the future that the British are going to lose, so he knows he needs to switch sides at some point. "He's reluctant to give them [the tribes] weapons, which is what they're asking for. However, when Major MacDonald revealed the role would go to the evil Richard Brown (Chris Larkin), Jamie Fraser reluctantly agreed to serve as an Indian agent. Will they fight for the British or will they fight for the rebels? The prison was guarded by British red-coat soldiers. Part of his role is now to work closely with the local tribe, with the hopes they will ally with the Crown in the event of war.

Just days after Starz announced the 'Outlander' prequel, Sam Heughan weighed in and admitted to being envious of the new show.

“I knew it was in the wings, I knew that was happening, I didn’t realize it was so far advanced,” Heughan said. As an EP, Heughan knew there was more Outlander in the works. However, he admitted he was surprised the Outlander prequel was so far along. “There’s always been a great dialogue between ourselves and the writers and the execs and every department as well. When host Josh Horowitz asked Heughan about the Outlander prequel, he shared his thoughts. Heughan was a guest on the Happy Sad Confused podcast on March 4.

The choice to change the theme to a ballad sung by a male leads to the idea that the new season is not told from Claire’s point of view, but rather through the lens of a male character, with Outlander season 6 likely focusing on either Jamie or Roger. Outlander’s "The Skye Boat Song" is sung by someone that has left their homeland behind to journey to a new land and has changed greatly along the way. Claire finds herself trapped in the 18th century where she meets and falls in love with Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan). Though Claire decides to remain in the past to live with Jamie, the Battle of Culloden forces her to return to her time to protect her and Jamie’s unborn daughter, Brianna. Claire later returns to the 18th century and is soon followed by Brianna and her boyfriend, Roger, who are time-travelers as well.
