The popular series based on the best-selling books of Diana Gabaldon, Outlander, is coming back this year for Season 7. The story began when Claire Randall (Caitríona Balfe), a former World War II nurse, was mysteriously transported back 200 years into a Scottish Highland clan. There, she falls in love with Highland warrior Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) while her present-time husband, Frank Randall, searches for her to no avail.
Battles, tragedies, shocking alliances, and a whole lot has happened since then with the upcoming new season picking up where the sixth season left off. Fortunately for fans in Australia, it has been confirmed that Outlander Season 7 will premiere later this year on Foxtel, continuing Claire and Jamie’s fight to protect their family as they navigate life in colonial America. Find out more about the new season here.

Outlander Season 7 preview
A teaser for Outlander Season 7 has just been released and from the looks of it, the colonial newspaper clipping that Roger and Brianna found informing the deaths of Jamie and Claire in a fire is about to take place. Despite the Frasers’ utmost courage to face tragedies head-to-head, it would seem that even their best efforts aren’t enough to battle their inevitable fate.
Moreover, the signs leading to the big house fire that’s set to ravage Jamie and Claire’s home on Fraser’s ridge first appeared in Outlander Season 6 when Wendigo Donner, who we first saw in the season five finale, re-emerged after disappearing in the fifth season. For those who’ve read the Outlander books, Donner’s storyline is essentially connected to the tragedy that’s bound to befall Jamie’s family.
We’re also likely to see more of Diana Gabaldon’s sixth book, A Breath of Snow and Ashes, included in Season 7, especially because there are important events in the sixth book that didn’t make it into the show’s shortened Season 6. As per the new teaser, we see Jamie telling Claire about a dream, Brianna possibly giving birth, and Claire once again on the verge of another tragedy with a noise placed around her neck.
Outlander Season 7 will also see the return of Jamie’s sister Jenny Murray, though this role has been recast with Kristin Atherton (Doctors, Waterloo Road) taking over the part from Laura Donnelly (The Nevers).
Several other familiar Outlander characters are even set to return, including Dougal MacKenzie (Graham McTavish), Laoghaire Fraser (Nell Hudson), the elder Ian Murray (Steven Cree), Geillis Duncan (Lotte Verbeek), and Brian Fraser (Andrew Whipp). It’s worth noting that these characters will revisit different times and places.
