Starz celebrated the Season 6 premiere of Outlander on Thursday with series stars Caitríona Balfe and her small-screen love Sam Heughan in Los Angeles and London, respectively. Which is par for the course for the two— well, for their characters Claire and Jamie who are often separated by time and space.
Balfe teased where viewers will find Claire in Season 6—based on Diana Gabaldon’s sixth novel from her Outlander series A Breath of Snow and Ashes— during a virtual panel ahead of the show’s March 6 premiere.
“When we first see Claire this season, she’s really—on the surface—trying to put forward this very brave face,” she shared. “Obviously the events of the end of last season were so horrific that it’s not something that anybody gets over. But for Claire, she’s always been this sort of rock for other people, someone who finds it very difficult to ask for help. So when we see her, she’s trying to tell everyone that she’s ok but we see that’s not the case. She’s unraveling and she’s not really willing to admit that to herself.”
She added, “We see that Claire starts to lean on some things she’s been using medically to give herself a little bit of a reprieve from the pain that she’s experiencing.”
Executive producer Matthew B. Roberts also appeared live from L.A. with Balfe, and Heughan was joined by Sophie Skelton, Richard Rankin, Maril Davis, and Diana Gabaldon for the Q&A across the pond.
“The premiere is very important. It sets the tone for the entire season,” said Roberts. “It’s the first chapter in the book and you want to start that with a bang. Like Diana usually does, we move forward and try to pace the story out.”
He added, “It’s very important to introduce new characters which we do every season as Diana creates new characters… In episode 1, we went backward by going to another book where the Christies are introduced and we need to fill that fans in that don’t know them. So we give them a little bit of a backstory on the Christies, the new villains in town.”

A Few Very Lucky Outlander Fans Will See the Season 6 Premiere Ahead of Schedule—and Across the Pond! Find Out More
A few very lucky Outlander fans in the UK will soon get the opportunity to experience a once-in-a-lifetime celebration of their favorite time-traveling romance/drama—the live and in-person Outlander Season 6 World Premiere Event at the Royal Festival Hall in London! Which, even more fortunately for those who get to attend in person, will take place two weeks ahead of the Season 6 premiere Sunday, March 6, on Starz.
Getting to sit inside a majestic venue in one of the world’s most beautiful and historic cities, hobnobbing with stars Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe while feasting your eyes, ears and heart on next Outlander episode a full two weeks ahead of schedule with a ticket that was absolutely free… sound too good to be true? Well, that’s exactly what StarzPlay UK (which carries the series abroad) offered fans the chance at in a Feb. 10 announcement.
In addition to enjoying a red carpet entrance, attendees will be treated to live performances by the Philharmonia Orchestra and the Philharmonia Chorus Choir. (Our guess? Get ready for a live rendition of the always rousing Outlander theme, “The Skye Boat Song.”) After the screening, the cast will head onstage for a live panel conversation, along with the executive producers, moderated by Scottish TV and radio presenter Edith Bowman. (An official list of which Outlander stars will also attend hasn’t been revealed, but given that both Balfe and Heughan mentioned the event on social media, we’re guessing they’ll both be there.)
U.S. fans might still have a way to witness the event, even if they can’t hop a plane across the pond right now. “U.S. fans, stay tuned for more info about how to attend virtually,” the @Outlander_STARZ Twitter account noted in a followup tweet about the event. It’s not clear whether the actual episode will be available for streaming, or just the red carpet and live panel. Either way, it’s the next best thing to being there in person, so we’ll take it!
