Not on Twitter? Here’s a recap of the Outlander Season 5 Tweet Fest with Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe in one easy reading blog post.
Obsessenachs, can I get a Hallelujah? Outlander actors Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe gave us a loooooonnnnng drink of sweet, sweet water to help ease our Droughtlander as we not-so-patiently await the Outlander Season 5 February 16, 2020, premier. And there will be more. Richard Rankin and Sophie Skelton will bring us #OutlanderWrap Tweet Fest Part 2.
After tweeting a couple reminders for anyone not sitting on ready, Sam took first spot at answering questions about Outlander Season 5 and other intriguing topics.
See you soon??! #OutlanderWrap https://t.co/grOdsC7A5P

It seemed Dr. Dr. Heughan was in good spirits for more than one reason. Besides wrapping Outlander Season 5 filming, his Sassenach Tartan scarf collection enjoyed a smashing launch, with most styles selling out in a few hours. If you didn’t get yours, there’s more to come Fall 2020! Seems like a great partnership with Prickly Thistle! Still no release date on the whisky, though.
The @SassenachTartan Collection….
Uniquely Scottish
Uniquely Stylish
Uniquely SustainableThanks to @SamHeughan for inviting us Highlanders to be part of the journey!!!! https://t.co/Ia1OeeCF7a

The whole new collection will be our Fall 2020! We are amazing at how quickly it sold! Hope everyone likes them!! #quality https://t.co/CM6Pr3Iwag

Some questions were about his past. My favorite came from @sandyshortt124.
An “accident” with a saw, at a young age… or was it a fight with a tiger? I forget. https://t.co/uRXJi5QWz9
— Sam Heughan (@SamHeughan) November 20, 2019

— Sam Heughan (@SamHeughan) November 20, 2019
Some episodes are more strict than others. But we have a lot of say. The writers are fantastic on the show and it’s so fun to collaborate. We are lucky, 6 years on the show, gives you a solid base. The last eps we were heavily involved https://t.co/D76fG9pp5l
— Sam Heughan (@SamHeughan) November 20, 2019

— Sam Heughan (@SamHeughan) November 20, 2019
I agree. Doing the best we can is a start. It’s hard, I try to make small changes. Society does need a huge change though. I hope we do soon. https://t.co/ul847ElMnr
— Sam Heughan (@SamHeughan) November 20, 2019
That’s all for Sam, presumably.
Thank you all for your questions! Sorry I only got to a few… I’ll try answer more on set tomorrow, our last day!!!!
Now… over to the queen herself, @caitrionambalfe !!??😆 pic.twitter.com/AaiAx8suwE— Sam Heughan (@SamHeughan) November 20, 2019
No, wait! There’s more.
He put out a call for questions in an IG Story and posted these answers. Gotta love this guy for all the love he shows his fans. And, thanks, Sam, for the Michaheal Kiwanuka Cold Little Heart earworm!
OK, on to Queen Caitriona Balfe. After some timing issues, she jumped in and was off to a great start.
Surprisingly, she responded to verra personal questions. Unless I’ve missed something, this tweet is the first official confirmation of her recent nuptials.
Great! Thanks … #AskCait https://t.co/Z5gd6fMu23
— Caitríona Balfe (@caitrionambalfe) November 20, 2019
Cause that was for me, my husband and my family. Sorry…. but thank you for the love xxx #AskCait https://t.co/tqOjyI5FLk

— Caitríona Balfe (@caitrionambalfe) November 20, 2019
Unfortunately yes. Which ain’t great for early call times. In my perfect world I’d sleep till 11 and go to bed at 1:30 am. #AskCait https://t.co/OpPqe9kSyO
— Caitríona Balfe (@caitrionambalfe) November 20, 2019
This last episode of season 5 may have been the hardest yet ! #AskCait https://t.co/VwXN2FPMlM
— Caitríona Balfe (@caitrionambalfe) November 20, 2019
No it’s good…. it helps counter balance all the crap pressure I feel from all the bombardment of pictures and ads about how we should all look like teenagers. We shouldn’t. Wrinkles equals time equals life … trying to love them #AskCait https://t.co/akbERR9nL2
— Caitríona Balfe (@caitrionambalfe) November 20, 2019
It’s always a challenge. And that’s what’s so amazing about it #AskCait https://t.co/5ENE58yCIP
— Caitríona Balfe (@caitrionambalfe) November 20, 2019
As usual, there were more than a few questions about Sam.
Yes I hate him. We never smile anymore together. Or have fun. Or hang out 🤪Or … if you really look for the worst in a situation you will find it …!!!! #AskCait https://t.co/xEXRrPtzsA

Yes we will and it’s been great. A steep learning curve. Definitely felt we really started to enjoy it and had more of an effect as the season went on. It’s a great show that we love, so to be a deeper part of that is amazing. #AskCait https://t.co/iDmzrgy7gb
