5 Grim Predictions For Outlander Season 7 After Trailer Debut
It appears the Frasers will be navigating an even more tumultuous path in the forthcoming season.
To the delight of countless fans, Outlander is scheduled to return to STARZ in a mere month, with the first eight-episode segment of Season 7.
The official trailer for the season, set to premiere on 16 June, was recently released on STARZ's official Youtube channel, sparking excitement among viewers.
According to the trailer, it seems the upcoming season will draw heavily from Diana Gabaldon's books, A Breath of Snow and Ashes and An Echo in the Bone. Fans are eagerly anticipating an abundance of engaging content derived from these novels. Yet, Outlander wouldn't be the same without its fair share of drama.
Here are five intense storylines Gabaldon's readers are expecting to see in Outlander Season 7, based on clues from the trailer.
5. Fire at the Big House
Scenes from the trailer suggest that the Big House, the heart of Claire and Jamie's homestead, is destined to be consumed by flames in the new season. In the books, this fire is of significant importance and kicks off several crucial storylines. Consequently, fans are on tenterhooks, awaiting this narrative's adaptation.
4. Leaving Fraser's Ridge
Both the characters and viewers have grown fond of Fraser's Ridge. However, the repercussions of the Malva incident and the catastrophic fire will compel Jamie and Claire to abandon their home.
'We will make it back here one day, won’t we?' Claire asks in the trailer, bringing many fans to tears.
3. Jamie and Claire's Separation
The trailer implies that the American Revolution will tear the protagonists apart. Jamie will leave Claire to join the fight for the patriotic cause. The two have never been separated before, and it will be intriguing to observe how they cope with the ensuing trials on their own. Nonetheless, the storyline foreshadows a great deal of heartache, with the looming possibility of Jamie losing his life on the battlefield.
'You’ll come back to me. You always do,' Claire says in the trailer, and fans are already feeling all the devastation of that line.
2. Jamie's Relationship with William
Another intense storyline interwoven with the Revolution is Jamie's relationship with his son, William, who is fighting for the Crown. The trailer reveals that Jamie is faced with the difficult decision of either fighting for the Patriots, whom he believes to be on the right side of history and destined to emerge victorious, or aligning himself with his own flesh and blood. It's no easy choice.
1. Brianna's Giving Birth
The teaser prominently features Brianna giving birth to her second child with Roger. While this event is ostensibly joyous, it precipitates some rather intense storylines in the books. The baby is born with a life-threatening heart defect, necessitating Bree and Roger's journey back to the future. Despite some uncertainty among the fandom, it appears that viewers will indeed get to see this story in the new season.
