What is Outlander season seven about?
The new 16-episode series will follow on from the harrowing events of season six, which saw Claire on trial for the murder of Malva Christie while Jamie is on his way to save her with the help of Young Ian and John Quincy Myers, having been rescued from Richard Brown and his men. Watch a clip from the season below.
The synopsis teases: "In the seventh season of Outlander, Jamie, Claire, and their family are caught in the violent birth pains of an emerging nation as armies march to war and British institutions crumble in the face of armed rebellion.
"As the conflict draws them out of North Carolina and into the heart of this fight for independence, Jamie, Claire, Brianna, and Roger are faced with impossible decisions that have the potential to tear their family apart."
What have the cast said about season seven?
Caitríona Balfe, who plays Claire Fraser, revealed that the upcoming season is the "most expansive" in terms of storylines. "This season was really interesting because there are multiple storylines that we follow, instead of it just being, you know... season one was purely through Claire's perspective. Season two, sort of Claire and Jamie's, and then we've slowly opened it up over the years," she told RadioTimes.com. "But this, I feel like this is the most expansive the show has been."
She also warned: "There's a lot of peril this season and a lot of things happen. There's a lot of loss and things are unsettled. It's just very epic, this season."
Fans can also expect to see "a lot of bad things happen" in the new episodes, according to the Irish star. Speaking at the 2023 Austin Television Festival earlier this month, Caitríona said: "There's a lot of things that happen, a lot of bad things that happen, some great things that happen," reports Nerds and Beyond. "But through it all, they are really strong. Jamie as a character is incredibly wisened this season.
"There's a maturity to both of them this season and their passion never goes away but it does evolve."
Sam Heughan spoke about the changes in store for his character Jamie while attending the Tribeca Film Festival. "He's a force to be reckoned with," he told the audience, according to Parade. "I think he's also got so much to lose. Obviously, he's lost Claire before, but this time, I don't know, he's more frail and he does look a little bit older."
