Outlander fans are in for a treat as new episodes of the seventh season are set to premiere on Friday, November 22.
The show’s massive fan base has been eagerly anticipating the return of Claire (played by Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), following a hiatus of over a year.
In the upcoming half of the current season, the beloved couple will have just returned to Scotland, where a host of new adventures and challenges await them.
Meanwhile, their daughter Brianna (Sophie Skelton) remains stuck in the 1980s as her husband Roger MacKenzie (Richard Rankin) embarks on a desperate quest through time to find their abducted son.
A brief teaser of the impending drama posted on the show’s official Instagram page this week has sent fans into a frenzy.

The preview starts with some heartfelt exchanges between the couple, with Jamie asking: “Have you ever been in any doubt that I need you?” To which Claire responds emphatically: “You have needed me urgently from the moment you saw me.”
The clip then transitions to a heart-wrenching scene from the trailer where Lord John Grey (David Berry) informs Claire “Jamie’s ship was lost at sea.”
However, she defiantly retorts: “You’re wrong. I would feel it. I would know.”
The post garnered hundreds of comments from fans, both those familiar with Diana Gabaldon’s original novels and newcomers, as they brace themselves for one of Outlander’s most gut-wrenching storylines.
