As the end of Droughtlander approached, fans are looking forward to Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe, also known as Jamie and Claire, appearing back on screen.
The seventh season of Outlander is expected to proceed like the first, with 16 episodes spread across two parts.
Fans can catch the upcoming season on Friday, June 16, 2023, on Starz, with new episodes releasing each Friday at midnight ET on the Starz app.
Starz officially announced that Outlander had been renewed for a seventh season in March 2021.
Is there a season 7 trailer?
Early in 2023, Starz cured many fans' January blues by releasing a teaser trailer, which offers our first glimpse at new footage from season seven
In it, Jamie can be heard describing a recent dream he's had to Claire.
"There was light all around you," he shares," but it wasn't candlelight or firelight.
"I thought, that must be what electric light looks like."
What will happen in season 7?
Starz announced an extended season seven, featuring 16 episodes.
While Outlander the TV series doesn’t strictly adhere to the novels it’s based on, sometimes moving story lines around or changing them completely, the show has thus far mostly followed the events of each novel in order.
Season seven pulled the majority of its plot from book six, A Breath of Snow and Ashes, which means the upcoming season seven will be based mostly on book seven, An Echo in the Bone.
What new characters will appear in season 7?
In October of 2022, Starz confirmed a whole slew of new additions to the cast, as well as some significant returning faces.
Actor Andrew Whipp will be reprising his season one role as Brian Fraser, and Graham McTavish will return as Dougal MacKenzie.
What happened in season six?
Season 6 saw Claire and Jamie’s struggles to protect those they love, as they try to set up a life in colonial America.
Set against the backdrop of impending revolution, the two have built a home together at Fraser's Ridge, which they must now protect.
Season 7 will take their story forward as we see what happens when you become an outsider in your own home.
“For nearly a decade Outlander has won the hearts of audiences worldwide and we’re pleased to bring Claire and Jamie’s epic love story to a proper conclusion,” said Kathryn Busby, President, Original Programming for STARZ.
