Outlander is going to war in season 7: ‘This season is so epic’

War! What is it good for? Storytelling on Outlander, it seems.

After several seasons dotted with the embers of rebellion, the American Revolution has at last erupted into a raging fire, rapidly approaching the Frasers’ doorstep. The hit Starz series plunges the Fraser clan and viewers into war for their seventh season, supersized at 16 episodes.

Premiering June 16, season 7 will be divided into two parts, with the back-half of the episodes not airing until 2024. This follows an abbreviated season 6, which clocked in at eight episodes and left Claire (Caitriona Balfe) on her way to prison for the murder of Malva Christie (Jessica Reynolds).

Outlander Season 7 starts June 16!

It’s official. Season 7 in going to premiere on June 16 (US). Which, indecently, is a Friday. Guess Outlander moved again.

Season 7 will consist of 16 episodes (much like Season 1). This is because we didn’t get the full season 6 due to covid and Cait’s pregnancy (congratulations!). All understandable and so Outlander is making it up to the fans with the extra 4 episodes. However, it is going to be split just like Season 1 with the second half coming in 2024.

I am grateful because covering the season is a good bit of work. On the fan viewer side I’m bummed because I just want to watch everything now. Either way I’m so grateful.

Check out the images from Season 7.

‘Outlander’ Prequel ‘Blood of My Blood’ Greenlit at Starz

Somehow I missed this so I’m going to report on it now. I guess that means when Outlander ends, I’ll be covering Blood of My Blood.

At the end of one era and the beginning of another, STARZ announced that the prequel to its popular drama series Outlander had been greenlit, just after the renewal announcement for season eight, which will also be the show’s final season. Although fans of the show are in sorrow over the final season announcement, the fantasy drama series will return for Outlander: Blood of My Blood, which will follow the lives of Jamie Fraser’s parents, Brian Fraser and Ellen MacKenzie.

Outlander Watch isn’t gone.

Hey, it’s Jill; the webmistress of Outlander Watch. Horrifyingly Outlander Watch somehow was deleted by a big mistake on my part. Long story short, I did something that cloned my other site over OW and when I went to restore the back up I was told it hadn’t been backed up (automatically) in over a year and that one was deleted. Full-proof system it seems. Yes, years of work lost. 2023 is turning out to be fantastic.

I haven’t been around a lot because there has been too much going on. Every time I turn around there is yet another thing vying for my attention.

First, car trouble. My car is slowly dying and with the torrential downpour California is getting; flooding. Every time it rains heavily (which is like every other day) the floor in my passenger side front is wet. Part of me wants to find a solution to this but I’m not willing to spend money on a car that is slowly dying. The engine and transmission need replaced. Then the catalytic converter is dead and the whole AC system died. Thankfully, my mechanic said, “do not fix this,” instead of slowly taking all my money (or lack thereof).

A Fugitive Green is coming to ebook readers July 26, 2022.

In which, a 17-year-old apprentice dealer in rare books is sent from Paris to England by her father, to obtain incunabula and medieval books of devotion – and whatever secrets of political intrigue or finance may come to hand in the process.

Inside Brianna’s Look for Season 6

“Brianna had quite a few new looks this season… she’s working domestically and looking after the children but also doing engineering works around the Ridge… so she has some practical clothing but she is also young and, in her past life, liked clothes. I think she has become somebody who has her things made or she makes some things herself.” -Costume Designer Trisha Biggar

Jemmy’s Paternity

In the episode, I Am Not Alone, Jemmy has lice and Brianna cuts his hair off to get rid of these lice. Jemmy, now with shorn hair has a nevus on the side of his head. Brianna has never seen one before and Roger explains it’s not harmful and isn’t something that appears before two years of age. He should know, he has one, they are hereditary. To Brianna and Roger this means Jemmy is biologically Roger’s child. It is a good indication if his fairness is not.

Inside Claire’s Look for Season 6

“Trisha Biggar does an incredible job and I, for one, am incredibly grateful to her, especially this season. The costumes we have for Claire at the Ridge when she’s more relaxed… it’s a slightly modern twist on what women were wearing at the time, which I always feel is so important… that Claire would always find a way of retaining some of that comfort, some of that ease, some of the practicality from the future while also being able to kind of blend in.

Inside Jamie’s Look for Season 6

As Jamie became more established on the Ridge, his Season 6 look reflected that. “The Frasers are leaving the Ridge slightly more often than they did in Season 5 so we developed slightly different looks for them. They’re not always at the Ridge working and doing domestic things. They are meeting society and having to do business with people nearby.” -Trisha Biggar, Costume Designer

Brianna’s Missing Baby Bump

I’ve heard fans mention Brianna’s lack of a baby bump in the season finale, citing she announced her pregnancy before Malva who was advanced in her pregnancy.

I’m baffled. It is clear from the show (well maybe to me) that Malva wasn’t as newly pregnant as she stated when she confessed to the condition. It seemed to me, when watching, she’s been going around trying to trap someone into being called the father and finally settled on Jamie because of the access she had during Claire’s illness. She goes so far to claim she was giving comfort but was betrayed by someone she should trust; though I do think she’s actually referring to someone else here.
