Outlander fans asked and asked, and today they received the news they’ve been
hoping for: Outlander has been renewed early for a seventh season. Caitríona
Balfe, Sam Heughan, Sophie Skelton, and Richard Rankin released the news in a video
today and kind of broke the internet. Fans are collectively freaking out. That means two
more years of Outlander — at least. Currently, Balfe, Heughan, and the rest of the cast
are filming Season 6 in snowy Scotland. They returned to set after a Covid-induced
year-long hiatus. Season 6 will air most likely in early 2022, or if fans are lucky, perhaps
late 2021. Now, I’m not a mathematician but seven seasons will bring us to 2023 or
2024 — Marty McFly has nothing on Claire Fraser! So much more Outlander to enjoy.

In the announcement video, Skelton, Rankin, Balfe, and Heughan read fan questions —
and there were no fewer than 17 questions about whether there will be a seventh
season. They’re all clearly in costume for Season 6. Roger looks older. I’m no detective,
but that’s what I discovered. His beard is very beardy too
Fans are hoping Balfe will direct an episode, which she’s admitted she’s wanted to do,
and her fellow cast members have also expressed their support. Twitter fan
@mushka_mushk tweeted Balfe, “Excited to watch you all & really excited to hopefully
see you you’re your directorial mark. Thank you for your excellent work!” Balfe and
Heughan became producers last year. Will Balfe add director to her title in Season 7 or
maybe Season 6 even? Time will tell. There’s a Claire time-travel joke in here
somewhere but I will not make it. Not gonna do it.
What else do fans want for Season 7? Some are hoping Laura Donnelly will return as
Jenny in Season 7. Donnelly is in a new show for HBO, so a Season 6 appearance
seems unlikely. But seven could be luckier. Jenny always brought the fire (and water) to
Jamie and Claire, and her return would no doubt be exciting. She has years of yelling at
them to make up for. And we need to see it.
Outlander, based on Diana Gabaldon’s iconic book series, first aired in 2014. Season 5
pulled storylines from books 5 and 6. Gabaldon is close to finishing the ninth book in the
series.
So Jamie and Claire’s love story will continue for a few years and all we have to do is
wait. If you want to catch up on Season 5, you can get the DVD (complete with bloopers
and all sorts of extras) or watch along on Starz, and then read our episode recaps. And
since we have time, why not re-binge the whole show? Here’s our list of the best all-
time episodes ever — spoiler alert, it’s basically every episode.
If that doesn’t satisfy your Outlander soul and you need an Outlander-ish fix, Sam
Heughan’s Men in Kilts is the perfect way to get through Droughtlander. Each episode
includes Outlander facts or locations, and former co-star Graham McTavish joins
Heughan for this epic road trip, in which McTavish’s life is endangered no less than
three times an episode. Plus, you also get some vintage Outlander flashbacks.
So rest easy, Balfe and Heughan will be Sassenaching on Starz well into the future —
and we couldn’t be happier. Looking forward to at least seven years of Jamie and
Claire’s super stressful and iconic love story!

"We'll keep making this until Claire and Jamie are a hundred," one producer said.
ander's sixth season only recently resumed filming, but fans of the popular time-travel
series are already thinking ahead—way ahead—to a potential season seven.
Starz officially announced that Outlander had been renewed for a 7th season in March
2021.
“We are so excited Starz has given us the opportunity to continue the epic ‘Outlander’
journey,” Roberts said.
“We can’t wait to get into the writer’s room and start breaking Echo in the Bone and look
forward to giving the fans another season of this exhilarating story,” Roberts said.
Caitriona Balfe (Claire Randall Fraser), Sam Heughan (Jamie Fraser), Sophie Skelton
(Brianna Randall), and Richard Rankin (Roger Wakefield) are all set to reprise their
roles.
At the Television Critics’ Association press tour in January 2019, executive producer
Maril Davis spoke about future plans for the series.
"We'll keep making this until Claire and Jamie are a hundred," Davis said. "Honestly, we
will. There's still many more books to go. And if Starz and Sony are willing, we're
willing, and if the actors are willing, we'll keep going."
Starz CEO Jeffrey Hirsch also hinted at the possibility of a spinoff. “We think there’s a
lot of opportunity in the ‘Outlander’ universe to have story extensions or spinoffs or
sequels. We continue to look at that with our partners at Sony,” he said.
In the past, fans have asked for a spinoff series that specifically follows Lord John Grey,
and uses Diana Gabaldon's novellas about the character. But when specifically asked
about a potential Lord John TV show, Hirsch was purposefully vague.
"We continue to talk on a regular basis about developing the story line
around Outlander. It’s something that we are aware of," he told EW. "We want to
continue to serve that audience with what we think are the best stories."
"I think we're going to have good news on both those fronts before too long so I feel very
optimistic about it. I agree that I would've been happy to see it happen sooner than this
but everything happens in its time. I think both those things are probably going to
happen and hopefully we'll be able to say something about it before too long."
The wait for Outlander season 6 has felt like an eternity, and many people are eager
for the next installment to arrive. With the fourth season arriving on Netflix to kick off
2021, many fans are probably wondering what the future holds for the time-bending
romantic drama, especially when it comes to the possibility of an Outlander season 7.
The six-time Golden Globe-nominated series is based on the well-renowned novel
series of the same name written by Diana Gabaldon. The Starz original TV series that is
popular on Netflix follows a married English combat nurse named Claire Randall, who is
transported back to 1743 in Scotland, where she encounters the dashing Highland
warrior known as Jamie Fraser and becomes entangled in the Forty-five Rebellion
or The Jacobite Rising of 1745.
Although Outlander season 6 has not premiered yet, Starz has renewed Outlander for
season 7, according to a report from TV Line.
It’s been reported that production on season 6 is happening right now. That means
we’re not going to be seeing season 6 (or season 7!) anytime soon.
Outlander season 7 will likely arrive on Netflix at least a year or more after the season
finale airs. At the time of publishing, don’t expect to see Outlander season 7 on Netflix
earlier than 2023.
There are still two more seasons of Outlander waiting to hit Netflix before season 7, so
we’ll have a much better idea when the new season will arrive after season 5 and
season 6 hit Netflix.
We do know some of the cast who will be involved in season 7 of Outlander. According
to TV Line, Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan are definitely returning for the seventh
season, along with Sophie Skelton and Richard Rankin.
We’ll share the full cast list when we find out.
Outlander season 7 synopsis
Twelve-year-old Spoiler Alert for the book: An Echo in the Bone chronicles Bree and
Roger’s life after they (and their kids) return to the 20th century, where they encounter
someone else who has time-traveled to that era. Back in Ye Olden Times, Claire, Jamie
and Jamie’s now-grown son William become embroiled in the Revolutionary War. At
least two established characters die, a few new ones are introduced, someone is
presumed dead and Lord John takes drastic measures to keep Claire safe, which
creates a whole new set of problems.
