It might take a while before the fans could witness what the New World has in store for Jamie and Claire. Sadly, recent reports state that Outlander is taking a few minor push backs. And this means that the new season premiere might be delayed as well.
On April, it has been revealed that the production has already started for the new season. This is why a lot are expecting that the series might return before 2019 ends. However, new headlines suggest that there are a few "slight" changes with the show's schedule.
According to Radio Times, Outlander Season 5 will premiere in 2020. And based on the reports, this is the most recent confirmed date for the show's arrival.
Little has been shared about the reasons behind. But luckily for the fans and avid viewers, a few publications learned the truth behind the push back. And as it happens, there are two huge factors that have affected the show's premiere date.
Per Digital Spy, production and TV schedules are the most apparent basis. Unfortunately, the current weather does not largely permit the production to move forward. And it is causing a lot of delays on the schedule.
This factor has been also confirmed by many of the cast members. Thanks to the teasers and "updates" that they've been sharing through social media platforms, it has been revealed that the "rainy weather" in the location is the main cause of the delay. Even so, it has been also pointed out that they still try to continue the process despite the weather trouble.
As for the other factor, it has been uncovered that the cast member's personal and career schedules are also affecting Outlander Season 5's arrival.
It is not actually surprising at all considering that the cast members of the show are all committed to their careers. And while being committed to Outlander, it has been revealed that they also have other commitments with other projects outside the series.
But all in all, the fans have remained positive amid all the reports about the delays and push back. And as per the general reception, the series is worth the wait.
On another note, Cartermatt recently shared an update about the cast members. And according to the publication, Mark Barrett will be joining the cast of Outlander Season 5. But as to whose character he will be playing, there is no confirmation yet from the production or the actor.
