“Outlander” Season 3 will premiere in September this year. But unlike any other series, this show is not yet releasing any teasers or trailers. Filming, which was supposed to be set in South Africa, has not even begun yet. This is a rather uncanny arrangement considering the factors that need to be considered in the production process of TV series.

Nevertheless, avid viewers of the show remain optimistic about the series. This is evidenced by the fact that predictions for Jamie Fraser among fans remain bold and optimistic. So, nothing will dampen the hopes of the viewers even with this "Outlander" Season 3 release date delay.

"Outlander" Season 3 release date delay is rumored to be a calculated move in order to garner awards, especially those that are favored by the public with much esteem. The most esteemed of these awards is, of course, “The Emmys” which, in turn, is dubbed the “most prestigious award for TV” in the world. However, experts are quick to disprove such claims due to some factors at play in the consideration of these awards. For instance, “The Emmys” require submissions of entries by the end of May of each year. Given that the show is set to premiere in September, it is very unlikely that “Outlander” has any semblance of chances of being nominated, much less considered for an award.

The same is almost true with the “Golden Globes.” However, unlike “The Emmys,” the mechanism that works in the former might actually favor “Outlander” should some of the voters from the Hollywood foreign press should start considering it for nomination. This is a possibility why "Outlander" Season 3 release date was delay delayed.

When it comes to “People’s Choice Awards” where the selection process is more liberal than those previously mentioned, “Outlander” might actually have a chance. This depends on how fans will show support for the series, especially in the selection and nomination stage.

Lastly, the “Critics Choice Award” might actually surprise viewers. “Outlander” has been receiving positive reviews since its premiere and it is likely that critics will take notice of the potential that the show has. If this happens, then the series might actually be recognized and, ultimately, be given an award. Still, a lot is expected for the next season of the shows and spoilers have started to come out. Many fans are thrilled, awaiting its comeback. For now, watch this video:
