The historical drama is returning in November.
At long last, fans of Outlander now have a release date for the much-anticipated second half of season 7, with episodes arriving on Friday, 22nd November.
The news was revealed as part of World Outlander Day on Saturday (1st June) alongside a teaser trailer showing Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe) getting to grips with their new reality.
When viewers last saw the pair, they had just arrived home in Scotland with their nephew young Ian (John Bell) after fighting in the Second Battle of Saratoga.
But as teased in the new footage, it isn’t quite the homecoming they anticipate, with Claire going on to explain that she and her husband want to play a role in founding the United States of America.
“I don’t feel like the future is my time anymore,” she says in the footage, before continuing: “Jamie and I, we want to be part of creating this new nation.”
She then asks: “Would you not sacrifice everything for love?”

Balfe previously revealed exclusively to RadioTimes.com that there will be a lot of peril in store for season 7, so you may want to brace yourselves for the upcoming instalment.
Balfe added: “It was such an epic season. And there’s just so much that happens this year. I think the fans will be happy.”
