In especially the last few years, the actors have used their series hiatuses to star in other films of note, including Balfe's award-winning role in Belfast. The series first began production in 2013, which makes next year the 10th anniversary of Balfe and Heughan working on the series.

About that, let's just say that secrets rarely stay that way forever.Īnd while this news will be glorious for the patient fans, the next best news that could come in 2023 will be the status of the series continuing past Season 7. Lord William Ransom is now the grown-up stepson of Lord John Grey (David Berry), and the actual illegitimate son of Jamie. Book readers will know the Hunters have much to do with Young Ian's (John Bell) ongoing adventures, while Lt. New faces in the season will be Charles Vandervaart as William Ransom, Izzy Meikle-Small as Rachel Hunter, and Joey Phillips as Denzell Hunter.

In October, Starz announced just who those faces are with the confirmation of the return of actors Graham McTavish as Jamie's uncle Dougal MacKenzie Nell Hudson as Jamie's ex-wife, Laoghaire Fraser Layla Burns as Marsali's sister, Joan MacKimmie Steven Cree as Ian's father, Old Ian Murray and Lotte Verbeek as fellow time traveler, Geillis Duncan. The stones are their answer and that brings Bree (Sophie Skelton) and Roger (Richard Rankin) into the orbit of some familiar relatives. In that book, the time travel component of the story kicks back in some health predicaments impacting the young MacKenzie family, which are impossible for surgeon Claire (Caitríona Balfe) to fix in 1776. But the bulk of Season 7's 16-episodes order will center on the events featured in Gabaldon's An Echo in the Bone. The new season will give closure to some storylines that carry through from Season 6, and plots that originated in Gabaldon's sixth book, A Breath of Snow and Ashes. The seventh season of the series is technically the last one ordered by Starz, and has been in production since April of 2022. Their love affair literally crosses time, via Claire's ability to time travel through ancient standing stones. The series follows the unusual time-jumping romance of 18th century Highlander, Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), and 20th century nurse, Claire Beauchamp Randall (Caitríona Balfe), now Fraser.
