Fans will be delighted to know that filming has officially started on Outlander season 7, kicking off mid-way through the sixth season’s release.
The news was announced on Outlander’s official Twitter account, which shared a picture of the central cast on-set together, including Sophie Skelton, Caitriona Balfe, Sam Heughan and Richard Rankin.

The upcoming seventh season was commissioned back in March 2021, and will be based on Diana Gabaldon’s novel An Echo in the Bone.

“I don’t know. We’ve only been picked up for one more season so those decisions are sort of out of our hands,” she said.
“But you know, I always have said, if we have good scripts, and if the story is interesting, then why wouldn’t you want to continue on?”

Outlander season 7 will see the return of the majority of main Outlander cast members, including Caitriona Balfe as Claire Randall Fraser; Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser; Richard Rankin as Roger Wakefield; and Sophie Skelton as Brianna Randall.
Season 6 saw some major additions to the central cast, including Mark Lewis Jones, Alexander Vlahos and Jessica Reynolds in the antagonist roles of Tom Christie, Allan Christie and Malva Christie.
