In a March 10 interview with Watch What Happens Live, actor Sam Heughan (Jamie) said theyвЂ™re вЂњabout to go back and shoot Season 7.вЂќ Then, on April 6, Heughan posted a photo of himself with castmates on Twitter, confirming they were indeed back on set. Outlander seasons typically premiere in the fall or spring, but during the pandemic, the show has taken longer gaps between seasons. HereвЂ™s everything else we know about Season 7 so far. As a result of a shorter sixth season, вЂњwe're going to give you a supersized Season 7,вЂќ with 16 episodes. вЂњWe just tried our best to keep everyone safe so we could continue to tell the kind of stories we wanted,вЂќ executive producer Maril Davis told Entertainment Tonight. In doing so, creators kept only the main highlights from the corresponding sixth book, A Breath of Snow and Ashes. The showвЂ™s sixth season was condensed into eight episodes because of the pandemic. вЂњWe look forward to following the adventures of Claire and Jamie in America during the Revolution as well as more time travel during this next season.вЂќ вЂњ Outlander embodies everything about our initiative including a powerful female lead character and an amazing team of storytellers,вЂќ Christina Davis, president of original programming for Starz, said in a statement last spring. The show was renewed for a seventh season in Spring 2021. While Outlander Season 6 comes to a close with a May 1 finale, Claire and Jamie FraserвЂ™s journeys are far from over.
