“Outlander” is a historical drama series based
on the novel series by Diana Gabaldon, which has been a remarkable success for
Starz since its premiere season in 2014. The show developed by Ronald D. Moore
follows a former WWII military nurse named Claire Randall (Caitríona Balfe) as
she is mysteriously whisked from 1945 back in time to 1793, leaving behind her
unhappy marriage for a romance with Highland warrior Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan).
Despite bouncing back and forth between time periods, this romance remains the
central focus of “Outlander.”
Based on the
sixth book in the series, A Breath of Snow and Ashes, season six of “Outlander”
continues the relationship of Claire and Jamie, who are now happily married in
colonial America with her previous marriage ironically a thing of the past,
despite technically taking place in the future. Political unrest in the
colonies threatens their happiness, however, despite them trying to live peacefully
in their isolated homestead located in the foothills of North Carolina. Jamie
is torn between his loyalties sworn to the British crown and the newfound life
they have established in America.
When a committee
is formed to combat the Native Americans, it threatens the couple’s hope for
peace. This season also sees the arrival of the Christie family, which reveals
details about Jamie’s past in Ardsmuir Prison, adding more conflict and drama
to their new home. When Malva Christie (Jessica Reynolds) brings news that
involves Jamie, it throws his relationship with Claire and their standing in
the community into question.
All eight
episodes from the sixth season of “Outlander” are available in this Blu-ray
release, though a DVD and collector’s edition Blu-ray are also available for
purchase. Exclusive to the Blu-ray are two new “Outlander Untold” scenes
following fan-favorite characters, as well as episode commentaries and footage
from the original auditions by Balfe and Heughan. There are also two
featurettes, “A Look into the Animation” and “Family Matters,” as well as two
blooper reels from the season’s filming.
