Outlander Season 6 Teaser Trailer Hints at [Spoiler]’s Moment of Crisis
We are officially verra worried for a certain member of the Outlander family.
Spoiler Alert: If you don’t wish to know about a plot point from Diana Gabaldon’s A Breath of Snow and Ashes that seems like it will show up in Season 6 of the Starz series, just press PLAY on the video above and all will be well. But if you want to hear what we think about the new teaser trailer, read on.
OK, then. Outlander released the first teaser from the upcoming season Saturday in conjunction with its New York Comic Con panel. In it, we see the residents of Fraser’s Ridge going about their lives. Claire and Jamie get cozy in bed (naturally). Marsali has a baby in her arms (also naturally). Bree and Roger share a fond glance, and Young Ian and Malva Christie (played by newcomer Jessica Reynolds) size each other up in a field.
But the American Revolution is brewing. “It’s starting,” Claire says, looking worried. “A storm. The war.”
And that is worrisome and all, but we’re more concerned with the brief shot of a man’s limp and lifeless arm, attached to a body that’s being carried back to the big house. Might this arm belong to César Domboy’s Fergus, who attempts to take his own life in the novel on which this season is based?
Those who’ve read the book will remember that Fergus is devastated after his and Marsali’s son, Henri-Christian, is born a dwarf. His despair about that — as well as about feeling unable to be a productive member of the farming community, thanks to his missing hand — leads him to attempt suicide on the ridge. Only Jamie’s interference stops the young man from dying.
So we’re looking forward to the show’s return in early 2022, we’re wishing we could give Fergus a hug and we’re hoping you’ll press PLAY on the video at the top of the post and then let us know what you think about what’s to come!
I am so looking forward to Outlander returning. I’m also looking forward to reading the new book written by Diana Gabaldon coming out in November.
Just love outlander xx
Looking forward to it! Last season was kinda hit and miss for me and I’ve quit reading the books (I think I like the show better w/o comparing them, however favorably the show comes out) but I still enjoy it.
Looking at my list of everything I’m looking forward to in 2022 I’m struck that only the movies and one tv show have actual release *dates* rather than nebulous periods like “early” 2022. I can’t for the life of me recall if this is normal from pre-pandemic times, or if it’s likely a response, a need to not overpromise in uncertain times? I probably don’t have long enough lists for a decent sample size anyway…
I think it may have happened on occasion, but usually news of a new season or movie didn’t come out without a release date. I think this is a pandemic era issue.
Due to the pandemic I got to watch the entire series and also got to read all the books! Looking forward to how close the next episode is to the book. All can stay for now I had to put the book down and catch my breath for a moment due to this new character Marva Christie……
I don’t remember where we left off. But Claire and Jaimie getting cozy in bed seems familiar.
