‘Outlander’ Starts Production for Season 7 — See the Cast on Set (PHOTO)
It doesn’t seem like there will be a very long Droughtlander between Seasons 6 and 7 of Outlander as Starz unveiled a first look at production on the upcoming chapter.
“The cast and crew are back at it – #Outlander Season 7 is in production!,” a social media post was captioned alongside a photo featuring stars Caitriona Balfe, Sam Heughan, Sophie Skelton, and Richard Rankin. Currently airing its sixth season, Outlander is wilder than ever as the Christie family and American Revolution raise the stakes for the Frasers.

But despite the heavier tone of the romantic drama series, it’s all fun and games behind the scenes, if the photos are any indication. Along with the Outlander Twitter sharing a fun photo opp, Sam Heughan shared another behind-the-scenes shot with him and his costars striking silly poses.
Wait!!! Is that @Outlander_STARZ season…. 7!?!?!?

“Wait!!! Is that @Outlander_STARZ season…. 7!?!?!? 🖐✌️ yazzz,” Heughan captioned the fun image. Outlander is based on Diana Gabaldon‘s bestselling book series which tells the story of World War II combat nurse Claire Randall who is magically transported back in time through standing stones at Craigh Na Dun.
When she finds herself in 18th-century Scotland, she meets Highlander Jamie Fraser and the rest is history. As previously reported, Season 6 currently has eight episodes slated to air, four installments shy of the original 12-episode order, so expect some storylines introduced in Season 6 to carry onto the next chapter.
Let us know what you think of the Outlander cast’s return to set and the beginning of Season 7 production in the comments section, below. And stay tuned to see what happens as Claire and Jamie’s story continues in Season 6 on Starz now.

Let’s hope season 7 is not the last. The show is too good to end.

I am the first, ha! Ha! It doesn’t seem like there will be a very long Droughtlander between Seasons 6 and 7. Music to my ears!

I am hoping that Jamie gets to time travel back to the 1960's or even the 1980's perhaps to cure some critical injury or illness he gets, or perhaps Bree and Roger have to time travel back to the late 60's early 70's to get some specialist help with their new unborn baby. I just loved the time travel stuff in Outlander and its been too long without it!
I also much prefer the woman singing the title song, without the stop start pauses etc - its should flow - just as the waves of the sea and time flows!

I'm very disappointed with what we've seen of season 6, episodes 1-6. It's not the same 'Outlander' that it was seasons 1-5. It's dark and depressing and there are too many sub plots. Fergus is a a drunk, Claire is an eather junkie, Jamie's (Sam) is to stiff and flat, poor Marsali she wants the old Furgus back as do i!! Not to mention the wigs this season are atrocious! Like most series the first season's are better than the later season's. I hope season 7 will be back to the old 'Outlander' standards! I will always be a huge 'Outlander' just let down by season 6 thus far.

They have 16 episodes for season 7. I wonder if they will split the viewing season as they did in season 1. They might get the first eight into production to air as early in 2023 as possible and bring the final eight later in the year. I hope there will be a season 8 but not sure how likely that is to happen. Season 6 is quite wonderful!😍

Hope you are right, Heughligan_Cat, but I'm concerned, too. I'd love to see all 10 books filmed, but Sam and Cait have been at this for almost 9 years. They may be ready to end the series or STARZ may end it due to the costs of production.

What do you mean? If Sam or Cait leaves, I am afraid
the show is done.

I would think 8 episodes, a short hiatus and then film the last 8 like they did the first season. Don't want to work them to death, the crews need a breather too.

I think we waited long enough for season 6. It's really a long wait and as much as I am drawn - my interest is waning.

No tv, or other daily entertainment, you’ve got to do something to work out your feelings! That’s what healthy, loving humans do. Don’t stop til you’re dead. Thank you Diana for telling a story about a really loving and honest couple!

I agree. It is healthy even if you are in your 70's.
