'Outlander' Announces New and Returning Cast as Season 7 Filming Begins

Filming is officially underway on the seventh season of the popular Starz drama Outlander, a time-traveling period romance based on the books by Diana Gabaldon.

For those who don't know, the series follows the story of Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe), a World War II nurse who is transported back to mid-eighteenth-century Scotland thanks to a group of magical standing stones. She falls in love with the handsome Scottish warrior Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan). Now on the cusp of Season 7, the Frasers were homesteaders in North Carolina in 1776, and the American Revolution looms in the distance.

As filming gets underway for the show's seventh season, Starz has released several major casting announcements, including the return of multiple actors whose characters we've seen die in various bloody and elaborate ways onscreen over the past six seasons. Time travel means never having to say goodbye to the ones you love.
