Starz provided a brief respite from Droughtlander with the release of new official Outlander season seven part two photos. The batch of six photos features series stars Caitriona Balfe, Sam Heughan, John Bell, Sophie Skelton, Richard Rankin, and David Berry.
The photos and synopsis confirm the Frasers’ return to Scotland, marking their first trip back since season three.
“Coming off of the first half of Outlander season seven, viewers find Claire (Caitríona Balfe), Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Young Ian (John Bell) leaving the colonies and arriving in their beloved homeland: Scotland. The perils of the Revolutionary War force them to choose between standing by those they love and fighting for the land they have made their new home,” reads Starz’s synopsis. “Meanwhile, Roger (Richard Rankin) and Brianna (Sophie Skelton) face new enemies across time, and must battle the forces that threaten to pull their family apart. As loyalties change and painful secrets come to light, Jamie and Claire’s marriage is tested like never before. With their love binding them over oceans and centuries, can the MacKenzies and Frasers find their way back to each other?”
The second half of season seven consists of eight episodes, premiering on November 22, 2024. The eighth and final 10-episode season is currently in production.
Starz also released the first photos from the Outlander prequel, Outlander: Blood of My Blood, currently filming in Scotland. The 10-episode season focuses on the lives of the parents of Claire and Jamie and is targeting a 2025 premiere.
“Outlander: Blood of My Blood will explore the lives and relationships of Claire’s parents, Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine) and Jamie’s parents, Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy),” reads Starz’s synopsis. “The series will center on these two parallel love stories set in two different time periods.”
The prequel features two time periods: pre-WWI era England and early 18th century Scottish Highlands. Matthew B Roberts is the showrunner and serves as an executive producer on both series. Additional executive producers include Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis, and Jim Kohlberg.
