Happy World Outlander Day to all who celebrate. For the Outlander faithful, the past few years have been hard, as Seasons 7 and 8 slowly dribble out, the former cleaved into two parts, the latter most likely to do the same. (And that's not even beginning to consider Outlander: Blood of My Blood, which is in production, but has no premiere date of any sort.) But the Doughtlander finally has an end date in sight (at least for a little while) as Season 7, Part 2 officially announces when it will return.
Considering it's been nearly a year since Outlander Season 7, Part 1 debuted, it seems almost cruel to realize that Part 2's release date is not right around the corner with this announcement. In fact, for Americans, we'll be well through Spooky Season and prepping to brine turkeys before it debuts. But at least, as part of today's celebration, fans are getting the first footage for the second half, as Starz releases the first trailer for Season 7, Part 2, along with the confirmation of the November 2024 release.
Also, there is some news for Season 8, the final season of the original series, which is at long last prepping to roll into production. The ten-installment final season will add three new cast members for the last set of episodes, with Kieran Bew (House of the Dragon) cast as Captain Charles Cunningham, a retired British soldier, Frances Tomelty (Woman in the Wall) as his mother, Elspeth, and Carla Woodcock (Such Brave Girls) joining the cast as Amaranthus Grey, a new member of the Grey family.
Here's the Season 7, Part 2 synopsis:
Coming off of the first half of Outlander season seven, viewers find Claire, Jamie, and Young Ian leaving the colonies and arriving in their beloved homeland: Scotland. The perils of the Revolutionary War forced them to choose between standing by those they loved and fighting for the land they had made their new home. Meanwhile, Roger and Brianna face new enemies across time and must battle the forces that threaten to pull their family apart. As loyalties change and painful secrets come to light, Jamie and Claire’s marriage is tested like never before. With their love binding them over oceans and centuries, can the MacKenzies and Frasers find their way back to each other?
Alongside series regulars Caitríona Balfe, Sam Heughan, Sophie Skelton, Richard Rankin, and Jamie Bell, Part 2 also stars David Berry as Lord John Grey, Charles Vandervaart as William Ransom, Izzy Meikle-Small as Rachel Hunter and Joey Phillips as Denzell Hunter.
Outlander Season 7, Part 2 will premiere on Friday, November 22, 2024, and air/stream new episodes weekly on Starz linear network, the Starz app, and all Starz streaming and on-demand platforms.
