'Outlander' Season 4 Air Date, Spoilers: Fans Are Surprised with the Premiere Episode Screening at New York Comic-Con Panel

Some "Outlander" Season 4 fans who attended the New York Comic-Con Panel are so lucky as they are the first ones to see the premiere episode of the show. The event was held on Saturday, October 6.

Without any hint, no one has expected that the "Outlander" Season 4 premiere episode will be screened at Comic-Con. This is the second time Starz has shared a premiere at the convention, according to Entertainment Weekly. The last time the network did the same thing was in San Diego in 2017. The security at the convention was strict as many officers roamed the aisles for potential pirates. During the event, most fans were too busy cheering when Sam Heughan (Jamie) and Caitriona Balfe (Claire) appeared on the screen. Some of them took off each other’s clothes. Many of them chuckled at several jokes, something Author Diana Gabaldon, who appeared on the panel, was happy to take credit for. Rollo the dog in the series also earned some of oohs, aahs, and claps.

Balfe and Heughan were brought on stage with Gabaldon, Richard Rankin (Roger), Sophie Skelton (Brianna), and executive producers Ronald D. Moore and Maril Davis. The panel was moderated by PeopleTV anchor and Couchsurfing host Lola Ogunnaike. During the panel, the "Outlander" Season 4 writer and execs addressed how the new season is all about coming to America.

“They finally decide to have a home, a place to call their own,” teases Moore. “It’s a classic story of immigrants coming to the new world. There was a wave of people in the 18th century [who came to America]. Jamie and Claire and just two more of them. It’s a great retelling of the American foundational myth.”

In the same event, one of the audience asked the panel how they felt about depicting non-consensual sex in today’s political climate. "Outlander" Season 4 Executive producer Ron D. Moore answered this question. He said they try not to preach to the audience.

"We don’t choose to look at it as a platform for political ideas," he said.
