‘Outlander’ Season 6 First Look: Meet the Christies, the Family New to Fraser’s Ridge (VIDEO)
Fresh off the announcement of Outlander‘s Season 7 renewal, Starz is giving fans their first look at Season 6 newbies, the Christies.
Introduced by the show’s stars Richard Rankin, Caitriona Balfe, and Sophie Skelton in videos posted to Twitter, are Mark Lewis Jones (Gangs of London), who heads the family as Tom Christie, Jessica Reynolds (The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw), who plays daughter Malva Christie, and Alexander Vlahos (Versailles), who plays his son, Allan Christie.
The show’s Twitter page teased the news, writing, “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christie-mas.”
Learn more about Tom, Malva, and Allan below, and watch their video interviews with the fan favorite stars below.
Part of Jamie Fraser’s (Sam Heughan) past, Tom Christie was also a prisoner at Ardsmuir, where the pair were sent following the Jacobite Uprising in Season 3. Old tensions continue when the devout Protestant brings his family to Fraser’s Ridge to settle.
Are you ready to meet the Christies?
First things first, I’m thrilled to welcome @marklewisjones as Tom Christie, a fellow Ardsmuir prisoner and devout Protestant who arrives on Fraser’s Ridge seeking a place to settle… though not without some tension. #Outlander pic.twitter.com/ikb3cFpfbF

Malva is Tom’s lively daughter who quickly becomes captivated by Claire’s medical work and slips into an apprenticeship under the Fraser matriarch. But Malva’s fascination with Claire’s modern mindset could get her into hot water with a conservative father like Tom. Allan is both headstrong and wary of strangers, his protective side is reserved for his family as they move into the unfamiliar environment that is Fraser’s Ridge.
Next, join me in giving the warmest of welcomes to @jesssreynolds_ who plays Malva Christie, Tom’s spirited daughter who is captivated by Claire’s work and modern thinking, getting her into trouble with her conservative father. #Outlander pic.twitter.com/8cmmuofbN7

Don’t miss the Christies when they shake up Fraser’s Ridge in Season 6, and in the meantime, tide over your Droughtlander by tuning in for Men in Kilts with Heughan and former Outlander costar Graham McTavish.
Last but *certainly* not least… meet Alexander Vlahos (@vlavla) AKA our Allan Christie. Son to Tom and brother to Malva, Allan is highly protective of his family as they settle into this new environment. #Outlander pic.twitter.com/7xMJPUtswB
