The countdown is on, and there is nothing the Frasers can’t overcome! Here is everything we know so far about
Outlander Season 7.

Droughtlander is finally over! A few moments ago, the network officially dropped a brand new Outlander Season 7 trailer which showcases that the seventh season delves into the life of Claire and Jaime, who are still making their way through the New World. Outlander’s seventh season will pick up after the events of the Season 6 finale, which saw Claire arrested by Richard Brown for the murder of Malva Christie and for being a witch.

The trailer also follows the harrowing events of the last season where Jamie and Young Ian race to rescue Claire before she’s tried and wrongfully convicted for the murder of Malva Christie. But their mission is complicated by the beginning of a geopolitical firestorm: The American Revolution has arrived. In the seventh season of Outlander, Jamie, Claire, and their family are caught in the violent birth pains of an emerging nation as armies march to war and British institutions crumble in the face of armed rebellion.

The land the Frasers call home is changing – and they must change with it. In order to protect what they’ve built, the Frasers have to navigate the perils of the Revolutionary War. They learn that sometimes to defend what you love, you have to leave it behind. As the conflict draws them out of North Carolina and into the heart of this fight for independence, Jamie, Claire, Brianna, and Roger are faced with impossible decisions that have the potential to tear their family apart.

Take a look at the official Outlander Season 7 trailer below:
