OUTLANDER: Starz Releases Season 5 First Photo

OUTLANDER season 5 has started production, Starz announced. The 12-episode season will be based on “The Fiery Cross,” book five in Diana Gabaldon’s eight-book series. (Season 6 has already been ordered.)

“In Season Four, Jamie and Claire’s decision to remain in the New World changes the course of their life together,” executive producer Matthew B. Roberts said in a statement. “After being struck by the beauty of the North Carolina wilderness – untamed and uncultivated – they choose to call it home: Fraser’s Ridge. However, what is a ‘dream’ for some is a ‘nightmare’ for others. Being at the center of the birth of America is often a bloody and violent and heartbreaking matter. Now, in Season Five, Jamie and Claire’s duty is not only to their loved ones, but to the community of settlers forming part of the ever-increasing Clan Fraser.”
