'Outlander' season 5 and 6: Delayed renewal responsible for 'Droughtlander' but look forward to back to back bountiful seasons

Even though the renewal came before the season 4 premiere, the early renewal was still not early enough. So, here we are, facing droughtlander again.

The only thing worse than a 'droughtlander' for 'Outlander' fans is a prolonged 'droughtlander,' and this year happens to be one. With season 4 finale wrapping up January 27, fans have been on the lookout for any news that pops up about the show, be it filming or the DVD bonus scenes coming out this May.

'Droughtlander' tends lasts for a year or less, but this year, the speculation is that season 5 will come out late, which means early 2020. Fans may point out the renewal for season 5 came way early, even before season 4's premiere, then why is there a delay?
