Outlander was officially renewed for Seasons 5 and 6 last May.
Last season saw the introduction of a more extended family focus on Brianna and Roger rather than just Claire and Jamie.
In fact with the shifted focus, it meant this season (season 5) opened with Brianna and Roger without Claire and Jamie at all.
