Watch the teaser for Outlander Season 7 HERE

The coming season will take the sixth and seventh books in author Diana Gabaldon’s series of novels — A Breath of Snow and Ashes and An Echo in the Bone — as its source material. The shortening of season six due to the COVID-19 pandemic means there is still material from A Breath of Snow and Ashes for the show to explore.

Outlander‘s seventh season will pick up after the events of the Season 6 finale, which saw Claire (Caitriona Balfe) arrested by Richard Brown (Chris Larkin) for the murder of Malva Christie (Jessica Reynolds) and for being a witch.

The folks from Fraser’s Landing, led by Malva’s father Tom (Mark Lewis Jones), believe Claire ended Malva’s life following the descedent’s allegations that Jamie impregnated her while they were embroiled in a steamy affair. Malva and Jamie were not having an affair; however, the former was hooking up with other local young men—a fact Claire did not share publicly for whatever reason.

As Claire prepares to go to trial this season, things look quite worrying. In a snippet from the teaser, Claire is being fitted for a noose followed by a nudge forward teasing her possible demise. Fans will no doubt be holding their breath while waiting to see how it all plays out next season but it’s important to note that both Claire and Jamie have found their way out of even stickier situations in the past. So here’s to hoping it all works out in the end as per usual.
