The official description of the remaining episodes states: “Coming off of the first half of ‘Outlander’ season seven, viewers find Claire (Caitríona Balfe), Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Young Ian (John Bell) leaving the colonies and arriving in their beloved homeland: Scotland. The perils of the Revolutionary War force them to choose between standing by those they love and fighting for the land they have made their new home. Meanwhile, Roger (Richard Rankin) and Brianna (Sophie Skelton) face new enemies across time, and must battle the forces that threaten to pull their family apart. As loyalties change and painful secrets come to light, Jamie and Claire’s marriage is tested like never before. With their love binding them over oceans and centuries, can the MacKenzies and Frasers find their way back to each other?”
The cast also includes David Berry, Charles Vandervaart, Izzy Meikle-Small, and Joey Phillips.
As has been previously announced, an eighth and final season of “Outlander” is currently in production, with that season consisting of 10 episodes. Starz has confirmed three new additions to the cast for Season 8: Kieran Bew (“House of the Dragon,” “Warrior”) will be playing Captain Charles Cunningham, a retired British soldier; Frances Tomelty (“Woman in the Wall,” “Catastrophe”) will be playing his mother, Elspeth Cunningham; and Carla Woodcock (“Such Brave Girls,” “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder”) joins in the role of Amaranthus Grey, a new member of the Grey family.
Matthew B. Roberts, Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis, Toni Graphia, Luke Schelhaas, Andy Harries, Jim Kohlberg, Balfe, and Heughan serve as executive producers on “Outlander,” which is produced by Tall Ship Productions, Left Bank Pictures and Story Mining & Supply Company, in association with Sony Pictures Television.
As has also been previously announced, an “Outlander” prequel series is also in production in Scotland. That series, titled “Outlander: Blood of My Blood,” will focus on the lives of both Jamie and Claire’s parents. Jamie Roy, Harriet Slater, Jeremy Irvine, and Hermione Corfield lead the cast.
