In a March 10 interview with Watch What Happens Live, actor Sam Heughan (Jamie) said they’re “about to go back and shoot Season 7.” Then, on April 6, Heughan posted a photo of himself with castmates on Twitter, confirming they were indeed back on set. Outlander seasons typically premiere in the fall or spring, but during the pandemic, the show has taken longer gaps between seasons. Here’s everything else we know about Season 7 so far. As a result of a shorter sixth season, “we're going to give you a supersized Season 7,” with 16 episodes.

“We just tried our best to keep everyone safe so we could continue to tell the kind of stories we wanted,” executive producer Maril Davis told Entertainment Tonight. In doing so, creators kept only the main highlights from the corresponding sixth book, A Breath of Snow and Ashes. The show’s sixth season was condensed into eight episodes because of the pandemic. “We look forward to following the adventures of Claire and Jamie in America during the Revolution as well as more time travel during this next season.” “ Outlander embodies everything about our initiative including a powerful female lead character and an amazing team of storytellers,” Christina Davis, president of original programming for Starz, said in a statement last spring. The show was renewed for a seventh season in Spring 2021. While Outlander Season 6 comes to a close with a May 1 finale, Claire and Jamie Fraser’s journeys are far from over.
