'Outlander' Season 5: Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan are producers, expect more screen time for the OG couple

Claire and Jamie Fraser will not only take up the role of grandparents in season 5, but will also step behind the camera and wear their producers' hats

Our beloved OG couple, Claire and Jamie Fraser, have not only taken up the roles of grandparents in the coming season of 'Outlander,' but they are also stepping behind the camera for their new roles as producers in season 5, according to an interview by the Irish Times. Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan, who play the OG couple, have earned their credits behind the scenes and while fans are rejoicing at the news, there's another concern - if their onscreen time will be affected.

The answer to it is highly unlikely. In fact, their screen time might just expand with their new roles. Co-executive producer Maril Davis recently said season 5 will go back to more of Claire and Jamie Fraser. "I do anticipate a return, hopefully, to that, next season a little more. Every season has its different storylines and where we're going. It can't always re-create the first season, which was very special, but it just has to be within the story and feel like it’s organic,” Davis said at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour.
