It has been already confirmed that there will be Outlander season 5, but there are only a few details about it. But the good news is, cast and crew share filming updates, teasing fans on what they could expect on the fifth installment. Another good news is that the first and second season of Outlander will soon arrive on Netflix.
Before we talk about its arrival on Netflix, let's discuss first Outlander season 5. Fans can get some filming updates from Sam Heughan (plays the role of Jamie Fraser) and Lauren Lyle (Marsali Fraser) as they frequently share posts of a long day shooting via Instagram, and they wrapped up at the morning. What's noticeable here they usually do night shoots.
Aside from Heughan and Lyle, other cast members such as Caitriona Balfe (Claire Fraser) probably have night shoots that also last for a day. Now, the question is that why Outlander season 5 is doing frequent night shoots early in its production? CarterMatt speculated that's probably because there's good stuff happening late at night, and most people are already sleeping.
Also, Richard Rankin (plays Roger Mackenzie) previously said there would be some small time jump leading into Outlander season 5. As a result, there might be some actions in a substantial way and the night scenes were the best indication of what fans can get.
As for the release date of Outlander season 5, the preceding seasons premiered at different times. The third season aired in September 2017, while the fourth one debuted in November 2018. Thus, it's hard to predict when will the fifth season come as the series doesn't follow a particular timeline. But, some reports suggest it would likely come out in Autumn 2019, and it will reportedly consist of 13 episodes.
Now, let's talk about the arrival of Outlander season 1 and 2 on Netflix. The streaming giant recently announced via Twitter the first two seasons of the series would be available to stream this coming May 27. This is good news for those who haven't watched the show and wanted to see it.

Previously, viewers in the United States couldn't watch Outlander unless they have a subscription on STARZ. But that will change now as the show will be available on Netflix, so it would further gather more viewers not only in the UK but also viewers in other parts of the world.
Outlander is a based on the novels by Diana Gabaldon, and it currently has four seasons that can be streamed on STARZ.
