Is it really two halves of one season if you have to wait more than a year between them? Outlander’s seventh season came to a midway stopping point back in August of last year, and finally, Starz has set a premiere date for the rest of the season. June 1st was apparently World Outlander Day—so what better time to announce that the series return in November?
The synopsis for the upcoming half-season reads:
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. 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?
Three new characters will be along for the journey this time: Kieran Bew (House of the Dragon) as Captain Charles Cunningham; Frances Tomelty (The Woman in the Wall) as his mother, Elspeth; and Carla Woodcock (Tell Me Everything) as Amaranthus Grey.
A brief teaser for the rest of the seventh season promises drama and battles, which seems about right. Outlander, which is of course based on the books by Diana Gabaldon, returns at midnight Friday, November 22 (if you watch on streaming) or at 8 pm that evening for cable viewers.
