As part of the “World Outlander Day” celebration, STARZ announced the premiere date and released a first look of Outlander Season 7 Part 2! We’re officially in Cloud 9! Ready?
Here we go!
The highly anticipated second half of Outlander season 7 will premiere on Friday, November 22. New episodes will be available weekly on Fridays at midnight ET on the STARZ app, all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms. On linear, new episodes will debut at 8:00 PM ET/PT on STARZ in the U.S. and Canada.
In addition to the eight remaining episodes in season 7, Outlander is currently in production on a 10-episode eighth and final season. STARZ also announced today three new characters joining the cast for season eight.
Kieran Bew will be playing “Captain Charles Cunningham,” a retired British soldier, Frances Tomelty will be playing his mother, “Elspeth Cunningham,” and Carla Woodcock joins in the role of “Amaranthus Grey,” a new member of the Grey family.
Coming off of the first half of Outlander season 7, 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.
In the teaser, we see how Claire no longer feels the future, her own time, as her home anymore. Her home is Jamie and only where he is will feel like home for Claire. And it’s time for both to help build and participate in the history of the place their children and grandchildren, their family, will call home.
However, Jamie & Claire have survived this before, so we’re not worried. But there is something that doesn’t feel right. At one point in the teaser, Claire talks about the sacrifices made for love and, at the end of the teaser, Jamie & Claire searching for each other, as if they were unable to find their way back together.
All this and the scene in which Ian and Rachel are next to what seems to be some kind of symbolic grave while Lord John Gray walks around dressed in somewhat strange clothes, can’t be good. We have a bad feeling. A very bad one…and we are already biting our nails!
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?
Alongside Balfe, Heughan, Skelton, Rankin and Bell, Outlander also stars David Berry as “Lord John Grey,” Charles Vandervaart as “William Ransom,” Izzy Meikle-Small as “Rachel Hunter” and Joey Phillips as “Denzell Hunter.”
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 on Outlander, which is produced by Tall Ship Productions, Left Bank Pictures and Story Mining & Supply Company, in association with Sony Pictures Television.
Outlander season 7 Part 2 will premiere on Friday, November 22 on STARZ.
