UK Outlander fans furious as Netflix France confirms it will show season six

There are 23 days to go until we can finally end what fans call 'droughtlander' as a new series hits our screens.

Season six of Outlander, written by Diana Gabaldon, is set to air in the UK on March 6 2022 but it won't be airing on its usual streaming platform.

Outlander announced on Twitter that the show would be moving away from Prime and to StarzPlay UK - the show's original home back in the US.

The show will continue to stream on Prime Video until it moves to its new home — however, there has been some confusion over where it will be streaming.

According to the Daily Record, Netflix France have confirmed that they will be streaming season six on March 7 - the day after it airs on the Starz Play app.

The news has caused frustration with users who already had Amazon and Netflix, now having to take out a new streaming subscription service.

After hearing the news, one disappointed fan wrote: "I wonder how many UK Outlander fans are going to buy Starzplay to watch it."

Another added: "I won’t pay any more subscriptions so they will lose another viewer. It's made in the UK and can’t watch it unless you pay twice. Not happy."

"I love Outlander," posted another furious fan. "But we pay a tv licence, we pay for sky/virgin, we pay for Prime and now we're expected to pay for Starzplay someone's having a laugh."
