Outlander continues.

Starz has picked up a seventh season of the period fantasy drama ahead of its sixth season.

This comes as filming on season six started back up earlier this year, delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic and dubbed Droughtlander by many.

Matthew B. Roberts will continue as showrunner with stars Caitriona Balfe, Sam Heughan, Sophie Skelton and Richard Rankin all returning for season seven, which will be based on An Echo in the Bone, the seventh book in Diana Gabaldon’s book series.

It has been picked up for a 12-episode order from Sony Pictures Television, in line with the last four seasons.

Outlander, exec produced by Ronald D. Moore, stars Balfe as Claire Randall, a married former WWII nurse who in 1946 finds herself transported back to Scotland in 1743. Gabaldon also has a ninth – Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone – forthcoming.

There’s no official word on any scripted spinoffs as yet, although last year Starz CEO Jeffrey Hirsch told Deadline that he believes “there’s a lot of opportunity in the Outlander universe to have story extensions, spin-offs or sequels”. “Hopefully we’ll find something that feels great and that we can continue to tell that story,” he added.

Fans are often calling for a storyline featuring Lord John Grey, a loyal friend to the key characters, to be spun-off. Gabaldon has written a number of Lord John novellas.

On the non-scripted side, Heughan and Graham McTavish are currently starring in Scottish road trip series Men In Kilts, exploring their heritage and meeting an incredible collection of people who showcase what it means to be Scottish.

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to impact the entertainment industry, Outlander fans are bracing themselves for an extra-long Droughtlander—that dreaded period between new seasons of the TV series—ahead of season six.

While new episodes have been confirmed by Starz, it’s unclear how long production will take, given the ongoing global health crisis.

But fortunately this morning, we can offer a bit of relief by way of an exclusive deleted scene from season five, which aired earlier this year. In the clip above, which will be included in the collectors edition of the season, but is premiering on T&C today, Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) discuss their nephew young Ian’s return to their community on Fraser’s Ridge after having lived for an extended period with the Mohawk Native Americans.

If you’ve been craving some more Outlander goodness, then the team have a big treat for you.

The creators have confirmed they will be releasing an “End of Summer Series”, which will consist of four episodes.

And the best news of all? They’re starting from tomorrow (23rd August).

We’ve got the low-down on all the episodes, when they’re out and how you can be a part of the action – read on to find out more.

How to watch the Outlander specials

The Outlander summer specials will be available to stream via the Outlander Collector Facebook page.

The four-part series has been made in conjunction with Doctors Without Borders, an international aid organisation who work with over 70 countries around the globe.

Viewers can donate to the charity via the Facebook page.

Fans of Starz’s time-traveling love story Outlander will be intrigued. According to the show’s EP, Maril Davis, “something fun and new” will happen to the characters of Brianna and Roger in the upcoming Season 6.

Speaking during a PaleyFest panel discussion in Los Angeles, Davis did not elaborate further on this new storyline but said of the new season, “Jamie and Claire, their love deepens; Roger and Brianna, they have their own journey… and Caitlin [O’Ryan], who plays Lizzie, has a great story, and she’s such a great actress.”

Davis’ fellow EP Matthew B. Roberts also assured fans there will be no lull in the action enjoyed last season. “There are going to be joys, there’s going to be a drama, there’s going to be suffering, there’s going to be tears,” he said. “All of the above.”

Last season saw the action centered on Fraser’s Ridge, the homestead built in North Carolina by Claire and Jamie Fraser. Living on the brink of the Revolutionary War, they, and their daughter and son-in-law, Brianna and Roger, have faced execution, bereavement, sexual assault, kidnapping and even a snake bite.

I have added some stills for the final episode of Outlander to the gallery. Did you like this?? You can send us your reviews.

When Diana Gabaldon sat down to write Outlander three decades ago, she let her imagination run free, ultimately creating an epic story that encompasses time travel, the passionate love story between Jamie Fraser and Claire Randall, and well-researched historic events from the 18th century. Her efforts have paid off with a series of best-selling novels. There are eight books in the franchise—a ninth is in the works— with the first five novels (Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, Drums of Autumn and The Fiery Cross) having been turned into one of Starz’s most successful series to date, with season six already in the works.

“Almost anybody can write a good love story, in which people meet and fall in love and get married or run off together,” Gabaldon says, adding, “It’s much harder and thus more interesting to find out what it takes to be married for 50 years. I had never seen anybody do that, so that’s what I decided I’d like to do.”

The Starz series that follows the heroic journey of Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe) is such a success that the term “Droughtlander” has been coined for the period of time in between seasons. And we will be heading there shortly. The season five finale airs May 10, and according to Heughan, it’s going to be “big.”

“It’s a very strong finale, quite stylized and quite unsettling,” he shares. “I think people are going to be pretty shocked as well. If you’ve read the books, you know what happens, but the way we’ve shot it is exciting.”

In preparation for the upcoming Droughtlander, we spoke to Gabaldon, Heughan, Balfe and current Outlander showrunner Matthew B. Roberts to get their insights and fun facts as they look back on all five seasons. Spoiler alert for those who have not yet seen all of the seasons.
