Outlander begins shooting Season 6 amid a pandemic with plans for "a lot of intimate scenes"

"I didn't want me or the staff changing what the story is for COVID," executive producer Matthew B. Roberts tells Elle as the Starz series has to deal with snow, in addition to the pandemic. "We have a lot of intimate scenes—that's where we live and breathe." The solution was relatively obvious: "testing, testing, testing, testing," Roberts says. "We had to figure out how to make sure we tested everybody a million times before they walked onto set and keep that bubble as safe as possible. That was our main focus—making sure everybody feels safe walking onto a set in the studios and locations."
