Many fans also expressed their excitement for the upcoming and highly anticipated series. One person commented: "Looking forward to the new season…so exciting," while another complained: "It feels like forever waiting on the next season."
The new series will be loosely based on Diana Gabaldon's sixth book, A Breath of Snow and Ashes and will premiere in March 2022, with the first episode debuting on March 6 on the StarzPlay Channel.
Only eight episodes will air, instead of the typical 13 due to challenges imposed by the COVID pandemic. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly back in summer, Showrunner Matthew B. Roberts explained the decision to shorten the series. "We are excited to get into the editing room to work on bringing the fans one step closer to reuniting with the family back on Fraser's Ridge," he said.
"Filming in 2021 has presented an unprecedented set of challenges which led us to the decision to truncate the season in order to bring the fans the most vibrant and dynamic season as soon as possible. Dinna fash, we will then film an extended season seven with 16 episodes next year as life returns to normalcy."
