Season five will feature a wedding, new challenges for Brianna and Roger, and a “deeper” intimacy for Jamie and Claire.
, which finds Claire, Jamie, their daughter Brianna, and her new husband Roger reunited in the American colonies. Their happiness is bittersweet, though, considering they all know the American Revolution is just a few years away. It made this a particularly "challenging" novel to adapt, Davis tells us, but absolutely worth it. "I'm so proud of what we put out there," she says. "People will laugh. They'll cry. There's something for everyone.
It's an emotional ceremony—but not too emotional. "Roger and Brianna have a sort of lighthearted, cheeky kind of relationship," Skelton says, "and there's a little smile there as if to say, 'We're putting on this big spectacle for the family.'" Brianna and Roger are already married in their minds, she explains. "They would happily just run off and do it really quietly.
While season four featured a lot of fighting between the two, this season will be about the foundation that brought them together in the first place. "They're a solid unit," Rankin says. "So whenever you see them being apart, whether it's a disagreement or physically apart, you should be rooting for them to come back together again."
But that strife is what Skelton likes about the characters' relationship. "Jamie and Claire's relationship is amazing, but it's almost this fantastical, ideological relationship that you can look up to," she explains. "Bree and Roger are so real. They fight, they say stupid things, and they're quite complicated. I think it's nice when you can watch flawed people on TV, and find some strength in that in your real life.
"Obviously when Bree came back in time, she went through some horrific things," Skelton says. "Obviously she's still suffering from PTSD. I just really hope that in some way that helps people who've been through anything similar—for people to be able to watch a character go through something and then see them start to heal. I really hope that fans can take some strength away from that.
