ENTER THE HEART OF THE STORM STARZ RELEASES TRAILER AND KEY ART FOR "OUTLANDER" SEASON SIX

Santa Monica, Calif. - STARZ released the trailer and key art for the long-awaited sixth season of their critically acclaimed series "Outlander." As previously announced, the sixth season will premiere Sunday, March 6, 2022 across all STARZ platforms including on STARZ at 9PM ET/PT in the U.S. and day and date in the UK for the first time on STARZPLAY.

The highly-anticipated return of the epic series will launch with an extended episode, picking up shortly after from traumatizing events that took place at the end of season five. The last time we saw Claire and Jamie, Claire had just escaped a violent encounter with Lionel Brown and returned to Fraser's Ridge. The threat of the Revolutionary War looms over the ridge and Claire and Jamie must choose what is best for their family.

About "Outlander" Season Six

The sixth season of "Outlander" sees a continuation of Claire and Jamie's fight to protect those they love, as they navigate the trials and tribulations of life in colonial America. Establishing a home in the New World is by no means an easy task, particularly in the wild backcountry of North Carolina - and perhaps most significantly - during a period of dramatic political upheaval. The Frasers strive to maintain peace and flourish within a society which - as Claire knows all too well - is unwittingly marching towards Revolution. Against this backdrop, which heralds the birth of the new American nation, Claire and Jamie have built a home together at Fraser's Ridge. They must now defend this home - established on land granted to them by the Crown - not only from external forces, but also from the increasing strife and conflict in the community within their care. For the Frasers and their immediate family, "home" is more than simply a site in which they live, it is the place where they are laying the foundations for the rest of their lives. If Season 4 asked "What is home?" and Season 5 asked, "What are you willing to do to protect your home?" then Season 6 explores what happens when there is disharmony and division among the inhabitants of the home you've created: when you become an outsider, or an 'outlander,' so to speak, marginalized and rejected in your own home.

Adapted from Diana Gabaldon's international best-selling books, Season Six is based on material from the sixth book in the Outlander series, A Breath of Snow and Ashes. STARZ also recently announced the pick-up of the seventh season of "Outlander."

Ronald D. Moore, Matthew B. Roberts, Maril Davis, Toni Graphia, Andy Harries and Jim Kohlberg executive produce. "Outlander" is produced by Tall Ship Productions, Left Bank Pictures and Story Mining & Supply Company, in association with Sony Pictures Television.

The "Outlander" television series is inspired by Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series that has sold an estimated 50 million copies worldwide, with all of the books gracing the New York Times best-seller 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.
