Outlander, the popular time-traveling drama series, has become a global phenomenon ever since it debuted on Starz in 2014. However, executive producer Matthew B Roberts reveals that it wasn't always easy to get people on board with the show. In the early days, many were skeptical about the concept of a nurse traveling back in time to marry a highlander.
Roberts explains that finding suitable filming locations was also a challenge initially.
Many landowners and castle owners were hesitant to allow a filming crew on their properties. However, once the first season aired and gained a massive following, the narrative quickly changed. People started reaching out to the show, offering their locations and support.
Now, as Outlander gears up for its seventh season, the doors are wide open. The show is welcomed with open arms, and the team has been treated incredibly well over the past decade. It's a testament to the success and impact that Outlander has had on both viewers and the locations it showcases.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the return of the show for the second half of season seven, as it was delayed due to the Hollywood actors and writers' strikes. Although no official start date has been announced yet, viewers can catch up on previous episodes on Starz.
