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!
