New Outlander teaser shows Claire shocked by the Boston Tea Party and Revolutionary War

"It's starting, the storm, the war," reveals Caitriona Balfe's character Claire Fraser in the latest Outlander clip from season six. "It's almost here."

The new reveal from the official Outlander Twitter channel is another teaser for what we can expect this season and shows Claire's reaction to news of the Boston Tea Party, the incident which set the torch paper alight for the coming Revolutionary War.

In the 30 second clip, Claire and Jamie can be seen speaking to Major MacDonald of the British Army, with the Fraser Ridge matriarch distraught by the news she knows means only one thing.

Reacting to her pointing it out, Major MacDonald ominously adds: "So you've heard, I imagine the King will view it as an act of outright aggression."

Taking place in December 1773, the incident saw over 340 chests of tea belonging to the British taken from ships and thrown into Boston Harbour by American patriots disguised as Native Americans.

The Boston Protest led to the events that would become known as the Revolutionary War.

Also key to this season, it will be the point at which Jamie, knowing what Claire knows about the war, will have to pick sides and it seems the British are already keen on him fighting for them.

He reveals that the Major has asked him to be a representative to the Crown in dealings with the Native American tribes in the area.

Something that will no doubt bring him into conflict with Young Ian, who we know is now trapped between the two worlds.

The clip also shows Roger and Bree discussing what would happen if America didn't become America, what would the world look like.

It's another dramatic look at what we can expect for the new season and fans couldn't be more excited for Droughtlander to end.

One fan wrote: "This season looks amazing, counting down the days!"

Others were getting nervous: "Again…. JAMMF finds himself caught between a 'Rock and a Hard-place'"

While another added that all of the promo clips for the upcoming season were making them "super anxious" about their favourite characters.

What do you think? Should we be worried?
