Outlander is back! If you’ve been meaning to catch up on or dive into the historical drama, it’s a great time to catch up on older episodes before you watch season seven, premiering on Friday (June 17).
There’s good news and bad news for Outlander fans. The good news: The hit series starring Caitríona Balfe and Sam Heughan has already been renewed for an eighth season, Starz announced in January. The bad news: The show’s eighth season will be its last.
“For nearly a decade Outlander has won the hearts of audiences worldwide and we’re pleased to bring Claire and Jamie’s epic love story to a proper conclusion,” Kathryn Busby, president of original programming for Starz said at the time, per Variety. “But before we close this chapter there is plenty of their passionate story to tell over the course of 26 new episodes and even more to explore of this dynamic world and its origin story. We’re thrilled to continue to partner with Matthew, Maril and Ronald and can’t wait to see where their alluring storytelling takes us next.”
Luckily, fans don’t have to say goodbye just yet. In addition to announcing the end of Outlander, Starz greenlit a 10-episode prequel series, Outlander: Blood of My Blood, which will center around Jamie’s (Heughan) parents.
Outlander, which premiered in 2014, incorporates romance, science fiction and history into one series. The show follows the story of a fictional nurse named Claire Randall (Balfe) who — after ending her stint as a World War II British Army nurse — gets transported from the year 1945 back to 1743 Scotland. After being forced to marry Heughan’s Scottish warrior Jamie Frasier, Claire’s heart gets torn between two men with vastly different lives.
The cast of Outlander includes Sophie Skelton, Richard Rankin, Caitlyn O’Ryan, Simon R. Baker, Mark Lewis Jones and Glen Gould.
Season six premiered on Starz in March 2022 after being delayed for two years because of the pandemic. Season seven premieres Friday, June 16, with 16 episodes, and will feature returning characters along with new additions to the cast.
