We don’t have to wait to find out what happens! While Outlander the TV series doesn’t strictly adhere to the novels it’s based on, sometimes moving story lines around or changing them completely, the show has thus far mostly followed the events of each novel in order. Good news, Outlander friends: The answers are already tucked away in Diana Gabaldon’s novel series. What will happen next? Will Claire hang for a crime she didn’t commit? If a season of Outlander doesn’t end with resourceful time traveler Claire Fraser (Caitríona Balfe) and/or her broad-shouldered Highlander husband, Jamie (Sam Heughan), in a precarious situation, is it even a season of Outlander? Someone’s life has to be left dangling at some point on the danger scale otherwise, what are we doing here? Season six follows the tradition: We left Claire in prison, wrongfully accused of murder (and of being a witch, but like, when isn’t she being accused of that?), and Jamie racing to find her. 'They’ve done a very good job of making it a faithful adaptation while still fitting it into the structure they need for TV,' she said of Outlander's producers.Claire’s troubles are just beginning … (Just kidding, they never end!)

What does Diana Gabaldon think of the TV show? However, for the fans that just can't wait, she's released nearly 50 tentatively titled excerpts, which you can find here. She's also released the tentative chapter names for the book, and a special blog that gives insight into her writing process.

But I can tell them that it’s nearly done! And that once we do have a pub date, I’ll tell them right away.” 'And they won’t be setting the date until they have the final manuscript in hand, because there’s an immense amount of post-production work to do between the time a book is written and the time it hits the shelves.

“Well, what want is a release date, and I can’t give them that, because I don’t set the pub date-the publisher does,' she told Parade. On her site she says she's 'currently writing and doing the historical research,' so there is no set publication date just yet. Gabaldon is currently working on the series' ninth book titled Go Tell the Bees I'm Gone.
