There is not much news about the new season of Outlander. And if there are, they only provide a few information about the possibilities of the fifth season's plot and course. This is why a lot of fans are now worried if the production will still push through.
While some of the main cast members are trying to tease their fans by posting a few photos on various social media platforms, most of the fans think that they are not enough. There are reports recently speculating that Outlander Season 5 might take a while to produce due to several factors.
According to Cartermatt, production is currently taking a lot of time. While the show is confirmed to arrive in the early months of 2020, some external factors are keeping that from happening. As it happens, the weather that the cast and crew are now experiencing causes for them to take breaks from work.
But despite all of the speculations, the publication still assures the fans that Outlander Season 5 is still happening. And as any fan would recall, the show has been commissioned for two new seasons including the fifth one. So, the fans need not worry about its course.
Nevertheless, the current "weather problem" of the production makes it difficult for almost everyone to get an update from the show. This is in consideration of the fact that most of the settings of the series take place in the outdoors. And since the rain has become apparent in these areas, there is not much information that can be gathered by the fans and reporters.
As mentioned by Fansided through Claire & Jamie, it is worth noting that the series has been very quiet about its preparations and productions for the show even during its prior seasons. And with this kind of pattern, it only goes to show how Outlander preserves their "privacy" and keeps the plot in secret to prevent spoilers.
Although the show has been directly adapted from Gabaldon's novel series, the television show still wants to keep things "fresh" and new for the fans. This is only fitting considering how most fans of television shows dislike getting spoiled.
And in terms of being fresh and new, it has been revealed recently that Outlander Season 5 will "deviate" a little bit from the novels. And instead of utilizing a one book per season dynamic, the new season will feature a mixture of the fifth and sixth books from the series.
But all in all, fans do not need to worry if the show is truly happening and arriving. These speculations are already put to rest when it has been confirmed that the show will arrive. So, patience is largely needed, and certainly, it is only a matter of time when new details and updates arrive.
