'Outlander' Season 7, Part 2 News, Date, Cast, and Spoilers
Droughtlanders may come often, but they never last. As we put season 7 part 1 in the rear view, rest assured that there are more episodes to come. Season 7 was initially supposed to have 12 episodes but has since been extended to 16 episodes, but split into two parts. Starz is willing to bend time and space to give us more Outlander. Thank god!
Season 7 part 1 ended with (spoilers here) Jamie and Claire heading back to Scotland after a fire at Fraser's Ridge, which they, importantly, survived (!!!). Roger and Brianna have been hanging out in the 1980s, trying to piece together what happened to Jamie and Claire through a series of letters. In the penultimate episode of the season, though, Brianna and Roger's son was kidnapped and taken through the stones (at least, that's what they assume happened). Roger goes to look for him, and that's where we leave the season.
When will season 7, part 2 come out?
Starz has announced that season 7, part 2 will premiere on November 22, and episodes will drop weekly after that.
Okay, what's it looking like?
So glad you asked. Starz just released the first images of the episodes. It's a bit hard to figure out the plot based on pictures alone, but it looks like the season has a LOT going on.

Who will be in season 7?
We know that Sam Heughan, Caitríona Balfe, Sophie Skelton, and Richard Rankin are all still in the show. David Berry returned as Lord John Grey in season 7, part 1, so hopefully he’ll be in season 7, part 2 as well. Both Lord John and William Ransom are in the next book quite a bit. So we can probably (maybe?) assume Charles Vandervaart will return.
Characters like Young Ian and Marsali, however, are still up in the air. We’ll also have to wait and see who survives season 6. Not sure if you’ve heard, but there’s a war on!
What book is season 7 adapting?
Echo in the Bone, the seventh book in the series. There are nine books total, so this show could keep going for quite some time. You can buy the book here, for spoiler purposes:
But if you want to know what could happen, here are some spoilers. (Look away if you don't want to know anything!!!)
It turns out that Rob didn't actually take Jemmy back through the stones. It was all a ruse. But unfortunately, Roger did go through the stones, and he is in the wrong time period. So not only is he looking for a son that is still comfortably in the year 1980, but he's not even in the same era as Jamie and Claire. Yikes!
Jamie and Claire's trip to Scotland is short lived, unfortunately. They end up returning to the U.S., but separately...
