The Outlander series has captured viewers’ hearts worldwide with its gripping narrative brought to life by Starz.
Following main protagonist Claire Randall–a British nurse from the 20th century–as she unexpectedly travels back to eighteenth-century Scotland, where she meets and falls for Jamie Fraser–a charming Highlander warrior who fights against English rule during war times.
Its critical acclaim is reflected in numerous accolades, including People’s Choice Awards and Critics’ Choice Awards. It stands out among other great historical wartime dramas of all time, such as The Pacific or Band of Brothers (HBO).
The world fell head over heels for Outlander when it aired in August 2014. The show continued to captivate audiences through six successful seasons that adapted various volumes from Diana Gabaldon’s acclaimed books.
Adding to our love for this franchise is “Blood of My Blood,” a spinoff focusing on Jamie’s parents, Brian and Ellen Fraser, scheduled to release its first season soon with ten compelling episodes.
Thrilling fans further, the show’s creators confirmed Outlander’s seventh season in March 2021. Get all the latest information about Outlander Season 7 release date, plot, cast, episodes, and more below.

What is the Plot of Outlander Season 7?
In Season 6, tension built on the Ridge when Jamie’s adversary Tom Christie returned from the Ardsmuir prison. After Malva Christie’s murder, one of Claire’s close medical apprentices, the people declare her a scored woman and charge her with Malva’s murder before bringing her to the town to stand trial.
Jamie is on a ship about to be deported as this is going on before Ian comes to save him, and fans believe they will save Claire.
This is where season 7 will most likely pick up, and fans will find out whether they catch Malva’s killer and how Claire gets out of her trial. In addition, this season will most likely follow the plot of the seventh book in the Outlander series, An Echo in the Bone.
Official Teaser for Outlander Season 7
On 23 December 2022, fans got the first sneak peek of the Outlander Season 7 trailer, just in time for Christmas. The trailer starts with Jamie Fraser telling Claire he had a dream about her surrounded by light.
