The midseason finale of Outlander’s seventh instalment left Jamie and Claire on the ship’s deck, searching for Scottish shores. Does this mean that they have left the turmoil of war behind them? Viewers will learn the answer to this and other questions in the second part of season 7, which will debut this fall.
Outlander is one of the most popular historical dramas on TV at the moment, and the characters have gone through a huge journey across the seven seasons. Adventurous nurse Claire and her noble husband Jamie have travelled to several countries, set up a family and have got into more than a few scrapes.
Outlander is based on the book series by Diana Gabaldon and the first half of season 7 covered events from A Breath of Snow and Ashes. After all the adventures and tragedies, Claire and Jamie try to lead a peaceful life on a farm in North America, but as you may guess, rest isn’t their destiny. Once again they have to face not only their own troubles but also political turmoil, as the American War of Independence has arrived.
