'Outlander' leaves you wanting more after the end of season 6: the series continues to be tremendously entertaining in one of its most difficult years

Two years have had to wait for fans of the 'Outlander' series for Starz to premiere its sixth season, after that pandemic break that has affected all our favorite productions to a greater or lesser extent.

Perhaps when Roland D. Moore prepared the adaptation of Diana Gabaldón's novels in 2014 (eight years ago, it is said soon) he could never imagine the success of a fiction that knows how to balance historical facts, adventure, romanticism, fantasy... And that has one of the couples with the greatest chemistry in current series.

And I say surprising because I think that 'Outlander' is the typical series that can arouse quite a few prejudices in those who consider that the engine of love always relieves any production to a lower step in the ranking of series quality.

For this reason, many will be pleasantly surprised with a fiction that becomes strong in what we cannot forgive television entertainment for: dynamism, freshness and that always leaves us wanting more.

Until now, each season of the series adapted a complete novel of Gabaldón's work. But complications from COVID-19 changed that for this sixth installment. The season has only 8 episodes, unlike the 12 that always concern us, which has led to the consequent criticism from fans, who have already warned those who are only viewers that not all events have been treated. developed in the novel.

From here on, be very careful with SPOILERS, read at your own risk.

The new chapters have been marked by the consequences that gang rape has had for Claire. Although the character played by Caitriona Balfe has always overcome all the obstacles that have come in her way, this event has changed her life forever.

Perhaps influenced by the visibility and social denunciation that this type of crime currently has, Maril Davis, executive producer of the show, has revealed that the writers have modified the treatment given to it in the novel. She has delved much deeper into the emotional wounds that have led Claire to a drift that will have serious consequences for the future of the story.

Even before the sixth season premiered, we learned that the series was renewed for a seventh. And luckily, because we have already said that the adaptation of 'Wind and Ash' has not been complete and that cliffhanger with Claire imprisoned and Jamie about to be packed to Scotland had left us on tenterhooks.

The seventh round of chapters could have two additions. One is already confirmed, it is Jamie's illegitimate son, William Ramson, who will be played by actor Charles Vandervaart. He is one of those characters whose appearance is eagerly awaited by fans of the books. On the other hand, the mysterious identity of that time traveler we heard whistling the 'Colonel Bogey March' may be revealed. The bets say that the character will be Wendigo Donner, one of Brown's men in the fifth season and who would rise as a new and dangerous enemy for Claire.

And it is not the only novelty for the followers of 'Outlander'. Last February, we already told you that a prequel to the series is being prepared, by its showrunner, Matthew B. Roberts, and although there is not much more information about it, rumors suggest that the series could focus on Jamie's youth or even in the lives of his parents. We are looking forward to knowing more.
