Outlander star Sam Heughan plays tour guide for a behind-the-scenes look at the Wilmington sets. “Welcome to our version of Selling Wilmington,” jokes Heughan as the nearly four-minute video begins. Heughan’s co-stars Sophie Skelton and Richard Rankin point out key locations on the set, including where Bree met her real dad for the very first time.

Both Skelton and Rankin take the time to show off the cabin where their characters had their first love scene.

The set’s massive and Sam Heughan confirms it’s grown considerably over the years as they add more and more frontage. “Some of these buildings are only fronts. Others are indoor/outdoor,” explains Heughan, adding that one of his favorite new constructions is the Red Falcon that was built in season six.

“So in the middle of Scotland, we have this beautiful early American town and there’s more to come,” says Skelton. “We have not seen the end of Wilmington yet because on a little street behind you, which I won’t show you yet, some very cool things may or may not be set to happen in season seven.”

The season seven cast also includes Caitríona Balfe as Claire Fraser, John Bell as Ian, David Berry as Lord John Grey, Caitlin O’Ryan as Lizzie Beardsley, and Paul Gorman as twins Josiah and Keziah Beardsley.

Season seven newcomers include Charles Vandervaart as William Ransom, Izzy Meikle-Small as Rachel Hunter, and Joey Phillips as Denzell Hunter. Series favorites Graham McTavish, Nell Hudson, Lotte Verbeek, and Steven Cree will also pop in.

The 16-episode seventh seven is set to premiere this summer. In January 2023, Starz announced Outlander has been renewed for a 10-episode eighth and final season.
