Jamie (Sam Heughan) promises Claire (Caitriona Balfe) they can start anew in North Carolina in the new one-minute teaser trailer for Outlander season four. The official first look trailer also reveals Claire has discovered a skull complete with silver fillings, something that no skull from their current era should contain.
The trailer confirms Jamie and Claire will continue to face life-threatening challenges as they attempt to establish themselves in North Carolina.
In addition to Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe, the cast of season four includes Richard Rankin, Sophie Skelton, Lauren Lyle, César Domboy, Maria Doyle Kennedy, and Ed Speleers.
Season four, which will consist of 13 episodes and is based on Diana Gabaldon’s Drums of Autumn, will premiere in November 2018. Starz has already renewed the time-traveling fantasy romance for fifth and sixth seasons.
A Look Back at Season Three: Book Three picks up right after Claire (Caitriona Balfe) travels through the stones to return to her life in 1948. Now pregnant with Jamie’s (Sam Heughan) child, she struggles with the fallout of her sudden reappearance and its effect on her marriage to her first husband, Frank (Tobias Menzies).
Meanwhile, in the 18th century, Jamie suffers from the aftermath of his doomed last stand at the historic battle of Culloden, as well as the loss of Claire. As the years pass, Jamie and Claire attempt to make a life apart from one another, each haunted by the memory of their lost love. The budding possibility that Claire can return to Jamie in the past breathes new hope into Claire’s heart… as well as new doubt. Separated by continents and centuries, Claire and Jamie must find their way back to each other. As always, adversity, mystery, and adventure await them on the path to reunion. And the question remains: When they find each other, will they be the same people who parted at the standing stones, all those years ago?
