An American flag waves as Outlander season seven’s opening credits begin. Starz treated fans to a brief but much-needed Droughtlander break with the unveiling of a minute and half opening credits video. Debuting on Valentine’s Day, the gorgeous video features Grammy Award winner Sinead O’Connor singing the new iteration of “The Skye Boat Song.”
The opening credits treat fans to scenes of Jamie and Claire dancing as well as a few quieter moments with the family. But war has arrived and the credits also show the American Flag waving as men engage in battle against British soldiers.
“We are honored to have Sinead O’Connor performing ‘The Skye Boat Song.’ Her rendition is, for me, a reminder of all that’s beautiful about Outlander. She is talented beyond measure. Hers is a voice of the ages — one which pierces heart and soul — and embodies the spirit of the show,” said Matthew B. Roberts, showrunner and executive producer.
Season seven stars Caitríona Balfe as Claire Fraser, Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser, Sophie Skelton as Brianna MacKenzie, and Richard Rankin as Roger MacKenzie. John Bell returns as Ian, David Berry is back as Lord John Grey, Caitlin O’Ryan returns as Lizzie Beardsley, and Paul Gorman reprises his roles 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. In October 2022, the network confirmed series favorites Graham McTavish, Nell Hudson, Lotte Verbeek, and Steven Cree will show up as guest stars.
Matthew B. Roberts, Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis, Toni Graphia, Luke Schelhaas, Andy Harries, Jim Kohlberg, Caitríona Balfe, and Sam Heughan serve as executive producers.
Starz has not confirmed a season seven premiere date but did announce the 16-episode season will premiere this summer. Starz also announced the series has been renewed for an eighth and final season, and the prequel series Outlander: Blood of My Blood has been greenlit.
