‘Outlander’ Season 5 Preview
Season 5 of Outlander will pick up on numerous strands left hanging from season 4. Be aware that there are spoilers for season 4 if you continue reading.
In season 5, we see Jamie and Claire still standing their ground at Fraser’s Ridge, their land in the Colonies. They’re navigating the difficult political dynamic between rebels and the British. In particular, Jamie must hide his loyalties to Scottish comrade Murtagh Fitzgibbons who is wanted by the ruling British who think Jamie is on their side.
There’s the awful shadow of rapist Stephen Bonnet, who brutally attacked the daughter of Claire and Jamie, Brianna (and the premiere holds a big twist involving Bonnet). Season 5 sees Brianna reunited with her 20th century love, Roger MacKenzie, but we’re about to learn how they will navigate her pregnancy. Roger, of course, is still adapting to the challenges of living in, literally, a different time. In addition, we’re still left to wonder whether the newspaper article Brianna and Roger found was correct: Are Jamie and Claire destined to die?
The first episode of Season 5 is called The Fiery Cross. According to the Starz website for the show, “Following celebrations in honor of Brianna and Roger’s wedding, Governor Tryon reminds Jamie of his obligation to hunt down and kill Murtagh Fitzgibbons.” Fans of the show know that Murtagh is one of Jamie’s closest confidantes, so it’s impossible to imagine that he’d ever turn on the man.
In season 5, explains Starz, “Jamie Fraser must fight to protect those he loves, as well as the home he has established alongside his wife, Claire Fraser, their family, and the settlers of Fraser’s Ridge.” Here’s a link to a special Starz offer to watch Outlander.
