OUTLANDER fans in the UK will have to pay for an extra subscription to watch the latest season of the historical drama show while those in France can watch on Netflix the day after.
It was confirmed by Outlander production company Sony that Netflix in France will have the premiere episode of season six on March 7, a day after it premieres on Starz.

All five current seasons of the show based in historic Scotland are also available to view on Netflix in France.
Fans in the UK were previously able to watch Outlander with an Amazon Prime Video subscription but they will now need to pay an extra £4.99 per month to watch the new series through the StarzPlay app.

The app is also available on Virgin TV and there is a 30-day free trial of StarzPlay available on Amazon, but this will be charged at the regular monthly rate after that period.
Outlander stars Scottish actor Sam Heughan and Irish actress Caitriona Balfe in the lead roles of the historic fantasy series based on an ongoing novel series of the same name, written by Diana Gabaldon.
The show first premiered in August 2014 on Starz and the upcoming sixth season will consist of eight episodes and premieres for the first time on March 6.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
