The 'Outlander' Season 7 Teaser Confirms Summer 2023 Return

The 'Outlander' Season 7 Teaser Confirms Summer 2023 Return

Outlander fans got an extra present from Santa this year, as cable network Starz confirmed that the mega-popular period romance will officially return in 2023. The series, known for its swoony central love story, and complicated time-traveling infused plot, will kick off its seventh season this summer (though the official premiere date has yet to be announced.) Starz also dropped a tantalizing new teaser for the upcoming season, which promised romance and danger in equal measure.

The lush and romantic 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). As Season 7 begins, the Frasers were homesteaders in North Carolina in 1776, and the American Revolution looms in the distance. But if the first teaser trailer for the new season is anything to go by, the question of where — and when — the Frasers belong remains an open one.

The clip features audio of Jamie describing a dream to his wife, one in which he has apparently dreamed of electric light. When Claire asks how he can dream of something he’s never seen (but knows exists, thanks to her!), he simply says: “I dream of the past. Why would I not dream of the future?”
