STARZ Sets June Premiere Date For 'Outlander' Season 7
Get ready to spend your summer at Fraser's Ridge — Starz has confirmed that the new season of its megapopular period romance Outlander will officially arrive on our screens this June.
The lush and romantic series follows the story of Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe), a World War II nurse 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), and the two endure all manner of sorrow, hardship, violence, and joy across time and continents as they struggle to stay together. As Season 7 begins, the Frasers were homesteaders in North Carolina in 1776, the American Revolution looms in the distance, and the family attempts to reckon with where and when they belong.
Like many series, Outlander saw its most recent season cut short by production complications due to the COVID-19 pandemic. (It was also impacted by scheduling issues caused by star Balfe's real-life pregnancy.) Ultimately, it filmed and aired fewer episodes than in previous seasons of the series, disappointing fans and folks behind the scenes alike.
