Outlander is a historical drama television series based on the novel series of the same name by Diana Gabaldon. Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe), a married former World War II nurse, finds herself in 1946 transported back to Scotland in 1743. Season Five plants roots, digging into themes of building community, forming civilization, expanding families, and forming allegiances. Just like the previous seasons the music is composed by American film and television composer Bear McCreary (The Walking Dead, Cloverfield, Black Sails). Inspired by the drama, he knew it was time to plant his own musical roots, and develop the colors and themes he already had. Like the drama itself, the music for Outlander Season Five stopped expanding outward into new territories, and instead planted roots. Though the score does not introduce any new sound this season, McCreary feels its developmental and emotional strengths make it as strong as anything he has written leading up to it.

Outlander Season 5 is available as a limited edition of 500 individually numbered copies on flaming coloured vinyl. The package includes an insert with lyrics.
