Lionsgate+ UK & Starz USA Release 2 Clips Of ‘Outlander’ Season 7, Premiering June
So, apparently, today has been declared “World Outlander Day”, and celebrate with ‘Outlander‘ fans, star Caitríona Balfe and executive producer Maril Davis participated in a “Women of Outlander” panel at Austin’s annual ATX TV Festival, where two clips were revealed before now being dropped online!
Season seven picks up from the harrowing events of the end of season six, with Jamie and Young Ian racing to rescue Claire before she’s tried and wrongfully convicted for the murder of Malva Christie. But their mission is complicated by the beginning of a geopolitical firestorm: The American Revolution has arrived… Jamie, Claire, and their family are caught in the violent birth pains of an emerging nation as armies march to war and British institutions crumble in the face of armed rebellion…
The land the Frasers call home is changing – and they must change with it. In order to protect what they’ve built, the Frasers have to navigate the perils of the Revolutionary War. They learn that sometimes to defend what you love, you have to leave it behind. As the conflict draws them out of North Carolina and into the heart of this fight for independence, Jamie, Claire, Brianna, and Roger are faced with impossible decisions that have the potential to tear their family apart.
The first clip feature a sweet moment between Claire and Jamie.
