Outlander certainly isn’t the only show to have a shorter-than-usual season produced in 2021 due to the challenges of production during the pandemic, so I for one am more excited about what’s to come than disappointed that Starz won’t have as many episodes ready to go as expected.
Plus, there are still several more novels left in Diana Gabaldon’s novel saga that haven’t been adapted yet, and the success of the series to date presumably means that Starz won’t be cancelling the show until it comes to an organic end.
