Meet the cast of Outlander season 7 part 2
The beloved cast are back on our screens.
It's finally the time for new Outlander episodes and while fans have been waiting just over a year for season 7 to pick back up, it seems as though it'll all be worth the wait with plenty of drama, twists and surprises in store.
The second half of season 7 picks right up where things left off in the dramatic mid-season finale, meaning questions still linger around the whereabouts of Jemmy and Rob, as well as what the future holds for Claire, Jamie and Ian now that they've travelled back to Scotland.
We do know that, no matter what, home is where the heart is for Roger and Bri – even if they're set to go through a tumultuous time. Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com, Sophie Skelton said: "Wherever they end up now, as long as they're together and they're with their family, then they'll make a house out of their home."
The season 7 part synopsis reads: "Coming off the first half of Outlander Season 7, we find Claire, Jamie and Young Ian leaving the colonies and arriving in their beloved homeland: Scotland. The perils of the Revolutionary War force them to choose between standing by those they love and fighting for the land they have made their new home.
"Meanwhile, Roger and Brianna face new enemies across time, and must battle the forces that threaten to pull their family apart. As loyalties change and painful secrets come to light, Jamie and Claire’s marriage is tested like never before. With their love binding them over oceans and centuries, can the MacKenzies and Frasers find their way back to each other?"
But who returns for the second half of season 7 and are there any new characters set to be introduced? Read on for everything you need to know about the cast of Outlander season 7 part 2.
