In the First Images From 'Outlander' Season 7, Part 2, the Series Returns to Scotland

Being a television fan has long been an activity that requires patience. For some....more patience is often required than others. For example, Outlander fans are so used to extended breaks between seasons that they've come up with a name for it: The Droughtlander. And we're in the middle of one.

It's been nearly a year since the first half of the series' seventh season aired, and there are still several months to go until the second batch of Season 7 episodes premieres in November. But cable network Starz has finally taken pity on fans by releasing the first batch of images from the new season, which show us the series' return to Scotland --- the first time Outlander has returned to the Highlands since all the way back in Season 3. (In the meantime the show has been everywhere from the court of King Louis XV in France to Revolutionary War America.)

The new run of episodes will pick up from the events of the midseason finale, which saw Claire (Caitriona Balfe), Jamie (Sam Heughan), and Young Ian (John Bell) leave the American colonies to return to Scotland. The gang is presumably headed straight for Lallybroch, where, as the initial images show, they'll reunite with several familiar faces, including Ian (Steven Cree) and (hopefully!) Jamie's older sister Jenny (Kristin Atherton).
