Jamie and Claire have returned to Scotland in Season 7 of Outlander, eagerly anticipating a reunion with their loved ones. However, past experiences suggest that their journey will not be without its challenges. Based on Diana Gabaldon's books, Outlander Season 7 draws inspiration from three different novels, a departure from the previous seasons.
Season 6 was cut short due to COVID and Caitriona Balfe's pregnancy, resulting in Season 7 Part 1 wrapping up storylines from the truncated season.
Part 1 follows the events of An Echo In the Bone, while Part 2 will conclude that book and cover material from Gabaldon's next novel, Written in My Own Heart's Blood. Outlander executive producer Maril Davis describes Season 7 as 'supersized,' as it combines elements from Books 6, 7, and 8. The second half of the season will explore the complicated return of Claire and Jamie to Lallybroch, Ian's longing for his lost love, and Brianna's solo journey in the 20th century. Looking ahead, Season 8 will primarily be based on Book 9.
With its rich storytelling and complex characters, fans can expect an emotional and dramatic ride in the upcoming seasons of Outlander.
