Whether or not season 3 will continue that trend is impossible to say, especially when it’s so far into the future. Many things can happen until then, including the unlikely event of the show’s cancellation.
But the long production schedule for the third season of “Outlander” has raised the bar quite highly in the eyes of some fans. The producers will have to put a lot of effort into this season if they want to justify the waiting time in the eyes of their followers, and they should also not stay quiet during the whole process.
In fact, this is one of the factors that has been causing the most annoyance for fans of “Outlander” since the beginning, and especially now during the production of season 3. The producers don’t seem very keen on communicating their plans openly, and while that’s normal for many shows, they seem to be taking it to some rather extreme levels.
Maybe they are planning to be a bit more open towards the end of season 3’s production cycle. Or maybe they are keeping a major surprise unrevealed, and they are waiting for the right time to drop it on their fans. There are many possibilities, but no matter what the situation is, the showrunners should definitely keep an eye on forums related to “Outlander” and know what people are saying on a regular basis. Failing to do that is one of the biggest mistakes that can kill a show very quickly, as we’ve seen multiple times in the past.
