The end of Droughtlander is so close that fans can almost taste it as popular historical fantasy drama Outlander finally returns to our screens with season 6 after a two-year break.
The last we saw of Jamie (Sam Heughan), Claire (Caitriona Balfe), Brianna (Sophie Skelton), Roger (Richard Rankin) and all at Fraser’s Ridge in season five, Claire had been rescued after a brutal attack by Lionel Brown (Ned Dennehy) and his men for her medical practices, while Roger had survived a mistaken hanging.
Brianna had finally got her revenge on the dastardly Stephen Bonnet (Edward Speleers) and Jamie had lost his godfather Murtagh (Duncan Lacroix) as he struggled to balance his personal loyalty with fulfilling his duties with the British.
Young Ian (John Bell) had also finally returned from the Mohawk, and subsequently learned the truth of Claire, Brianna and Roger’s time-travelling origins.
After that swift recap, season six will see the Fraser-MacKenzie clan in 1773 tested further by the looming danger of the American Revolutionary War, as well as tensions from within the Ridge after the arrival of some new characters.
