Outlander Season 7 premieres June 16 exclusively on Starz.
Ack, dinna fash, you lovers of Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire Fraser’s (Caitríona Balfe) epic, time-traveling romance. Outlander returns for its seventh season with a decidedly Fraser-forward focus that does a fine job balancing the pair’s penchant for landing in a lot of life-threatening situations, with plenty of charming, domestic moments where their enduring romance really gets to shine. But there’s also a compelling backdrop to play against as the Frasers and their kin are now on the doorstep of the Revolutionary War in 1776. And for those who were sucked into the series for its time-travel weirdness, there’s also a return to the across-time storytelling that was such a satisfying hallmark of the first few seasons. The first four episodes made available for review give closure to some important dangling storylines leftover from season 6, set the stage for more time travel, and introduce new characters that already prove themselves to be provocative additions to this world.
The new season picks up right where the previous season finale left off, with Claire arrested by the British Crown for witchcraft and the murder of her former medicinal mentee. At this point in Claire’s time-traveling existence, “witch” is a familiar accusation since her modern medical skills often confound those who use bleeding to treat everything from pregnancy to gout. But the murderer label is pretty dire, so the first episode, “A Life Well Lost,” spends much of its time dealing with Mrs. Fraser’s predicament in custody, while Jamie and his nephew, Young Ian (John Bell), look for any allies – even reformed enemy Tom Christie (Mark Lewis Jones). It’s an eventful first episode back with some action, familial revelations, and even some sly humor.

Aesthetically, Outlander remains one of the most handsome shows on television. Shooting in Scotland for scenes set in Colonial America, every episode feels like it was plucked out of the accurate past, featuring detailed sets, gorgeous costumes (Jamie’s coats are to die for) and natural landscapes that transport you to Fraser’s Ridge in 1776. It’s also worth mentioning the changeup in the show’s opening titles, with Sinéad O'Connor’s heartfelt rendition of "The Skye Boat Song” eliciting genuine goosebumps every episode.
Finally, be warned: if you’re squeamish about blood or terrible depictions of violence that are authentic to the times, the series continues to showcase wounds, killings, and surgeries with shocking detail, just as Outlander creator / author Diana Gabaldon does in her books.
The first four episodes of Outlander season 7 sets the series on the right foot for a very strong first half of the season. The storylines still give fans the requisite amount of dire circumstances for Jamie and Claire to overcome together, as well as some jaw-dropping revelations that fit right in with the show’s long history of outrageous plot tu...
