Outlander was first published back in 1991 by Diana, and it has gone on to become one of the best-selling book series of all time. Inspiring the Starz TV show by the same name, the series starring Scottish hunk Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe has become a worldwide phenomenon.

There are now nine books that complete the Outlander series, with the latest title Go Tell The Bees That I Am Gone, and the sixth season of Outlander planning to air in Summer of this year. This event planned in Edinburgh is sure to be exciting, and fans may even get the chance to hear some secrets on the new season being filmed in Scotland right now.

Outlander is available to watch in the UK on Starz Player. The sixth season of the show will air on the same channel in summer 2022.
