Fans are no doubt delighted after filming was originally delayed last year due to the pandemic.
At the time, Sam appeared on This Morning to discuss the show's status, telling Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield back in June: "We were supposed to be shooting right now and obviously things are still slightly up in the air, but I think you know, I'm hopeful that we're gonna be back before we know it. They're putting plans in place."
Season six is expected to look at the aftermath from the dramatic season five finale, which saw Claire rescued by Jamie and her family after being kidnapped and assaulted. Meanwhile, Roger and Brianna find themselves back in time with their son Jemmy, despite trying to return to the present day.
