Outlander has teased the upcoming seventh season, with first-look clips of the new episodes being released.

The historical drama is due to return to screens on June 16, with the 16-episode season being split into two parts.

The first clip follows Brianna (Sophie Skelton) and Roger (Richard Rankin) as they converse on their way to church, whilst the second video depicts a tender moment between Claire (Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) as they discuss their future and the nature of dreams.

The logline for the seventh season, which is based on An Echo in the Bone, reads: “Following the harrowing events of season six, Jamie and Young Ian race to rescue Claire before she’s tried and wrongfully convicted for the murder of Malva Christie.

“Their mission is complicated by the beginning of a geopolitical firestorm: The American Revolution has arrived. Jamie, Claire, and their family are caught in the violent birth pains of an emerging nation as armies march to war and British institutions crumble in the face of armed rebellion.

“The land the Frasers call home is changing – and they must change with it. In order to protect what they’ve built, the Frasers have to navigate the perils of the Revolutionary War. They learn that sometimes to defend what you love, you have to leave it behind.

“As the conflict draws them out of North Carolina and into the heart of this fight for independence, Jamie, Claire, Brianna, and Roger are faced with impossible decisions that have the potential to tear their family apart.

Outlander season 7 part 1 premieres on Friday, June 16. The show airs on Starz in the US, and streams on Lionsgate+ in the UK.
