Outlander follows former Second World War military nurse Claire Randall who travels back from 1945 to 1743 where she encounters, falls in love with, and marries Highland warrior Jamie Fraser.
It has made huge stars of Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe, as well as providing a boost to the Scottish tourist industry as fans travel to the many stunning locations used by the makers.
There are already 75 episodes in the can, based on the bestselling novels by American author Diana Gabaldon, although the last series had to be curtailed to just eight episodes due to the global pandemic.
Last time we saw the couple they were strugging with a huge amount of unrest as Jamie and Claire's grip on Fraser's Ridge became ever more fragile.
Now millions of Outlander obsessives are on tenterhooks waiting for season seven to arrive – bringing an end to the ‘Droughtlander’.
And now Starz, the television network that makes and broadcasts Outlander, has finally confirmed a date for the first episode – just one of the things we now know about the new series.
Here’s all the information we have pieced together so far.
9. It's still being filmed in Scotland
Scottish tourism has received a major boost thanks to Outlander fans wanting to visit locations used in filming - and that's set to continue. The cast have been tweeting about filming in Scotland throughout 2022, including at Burntisland’s East Dock, Kinloch Rannoch and Culross. Photo: Starz
10. It's not the only Outlander in development at the moment
As if season 7 wasn't exciting enough, Starz have confirmed that a prequel is also on the way. Earler this year, the official Twitter account announced: "The #Outlander universe is expanding! Outlander: Blood of My Blood, a prequel that will follow the love story of Jamie Fraser’s parents, is officially in development at STARZ." It's thought that it will feature a completely different cast (so no Sam Heughan) because the timeline completely predates the original Outlander. Photo: Starz
11. No shortage of familiar faces
Obviously Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan will once again be starring as Claire and Jamie Fraser, with Sophie Skelton and Richard Rankin returning as Brianna and Roger, along with Mark Lewis Jones as Tom Christie, John Bell as Young Ian, and Alexander Vlahos as Allan Christie. Photo: Starz
12. And there will be some returning characters
Some characters from previous seasons will be back for season 7, including Geillis Duncan (Lotte Verbeek), Dougal MacKenzie (Graham McTavish), Brian Fraser (Andrew Whipp), Ian Murray (Steven Cree), Laoghaire Fraser (Nell Hudson) and Joan MacKimmie (Layla Burns). Photo: Starz
