About “Outlander” Season Five
Season Five of “Outlander” finds the Frasers fighting for their family and the home they have forged on Fraser’s Ridge.
Jamie must find a way to defend all that he has created in America, and to protect those who look to him for leadership and protection – while hiding his personal relationship with Murtagh Fitzgibbons, the man whom Governor William Tryon has ordered him to hunt down and kill.
With her family together at last, Claire Fraser must use her modern medical knowledge and foresight to prevent them from being ripped apart once again. However, while focusing on protecting others, she risks losing sight of what it means to protect herself. Meanwhile, Brianna Fraser and Roger MacKenzie have been reunited, but the spectre of Stephen Bonnet still haunts them. Roger strives to find his place – as well as Jamie’s respect – in this new and dangerous time. The Frasers must come together, navigating the many perils that they foresee – and those they can’t.
Season Five of “Outlander” is currently in production in Scotland. The fifth season will play out over 12 episodes and is based on material from Diana Gabaldon’s international best-selling Outlander series.
The “Outlander” television series, executive produced by Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis, Matthew B. Roberts, Toni Graphia and Andy Harries is inspired by Gabaldon’s Outlander series that has sold an estimated 30 million copies worldwide, with all the books having graced the New York Times best-sellers list. The “Outlander” television series has become a worldwide success with audiences, spanning the genres of history, science fiction, romance and adventure in one amazing tale.
“Outlander” is produced by Tall Ship Productions and Left Bank Pictures in association with Sony Pictures Television.
Starz recently renewed the “Outlander” series through its sixth and forthcoming season.

HUZZAH!!! Great news all around!!?!
When is the panel and how do I get tickets
Your day and date of panel doesn’t match. Saturday is Oct 5 NOT Oct 6. Help!
Sorry! Jeez. It’s Saturday!! OCT 5, fixing now.
How do I get a ticket for te panel?
Hi Carol, there is a link in the article to buy general comic con tickets, which are likely sold out by now. You may be able to pick up a third party ticket for Saturday. I believe if you have a ticket to the comic con for Saturday, that gets you into the panel. Good luck!
Great to see all those familiar faces. Wished I was going – it would be awesome to actually in the same room as these amazing actors.
