The Droughtlander is over! Outlander makes its triumphant return for season 7 on June 16 and could have a supersized season consisting of 16 episodes. Forward of the season 7 premiere, HollywoodLife spoke EXCLUSIVELY with government producer Maril Davis about what’s forward.
On the finish of final season, Claire was arrested for Malva’s homicide. The fallout of Malva’s dying will bleed over into season 7. “We’ll see that unfold. We are going to discover out who killed Malva this season in order that might be revealed,” Maril informed HollywoodLife.
A brand new chapter is forward for Brianna and Roger, who might be welcoming their second youngster within the seventh season. “I believe there’s going to be numerous sacrifices made,” Maril mentioned about Brianna and Roger’s season 7 journey. “I believe we discuss quite a bit about this theme of household and this theme of residence and what which means. Previous seasons we’ve mentioned house is the place the guts is. We’re nonetheless going to be discussing these themes about residence being your nuclear household and people folks which might be round you versus the place you really are. I believe that’s going to be an enormous theme for Jamie and Claire and Bree and Roger.”
Season 7 may even deliver William, Jamie’s secret son, into the fold. This time round, William is far older however not precisely wiser. “I believe William is considered one of these younger males who has stars in his eyes,” Maril informed HollywoodLife. “He’s been introduced up his entire life understanding he’s going into the navy, understanding combating and weapons and all these things, and he’s fairly actually enthusiastic about it and greater than something desires to interact and is dissatisfied when he’s sidelined. I believe we’re going to see an actual transition this season of the boy goes in pondering one factor and the person who comes out could have the shades taken off his eyes. The realities of battle, the realities of his scenario, and every little thing that occurs I believe might be an actual trajectory for his character.”
With William again within the image, this implies Lord John Gray will reenter Jamie and Claire’s lives. There’s that main secret of William’s true parentage looming over Lord John, and the stress of that secret weighs on Lord John in a number of other ways.
“I secretly suppose Lord John will need to have some jealousy towards Jamie,” Maril mentioned. “I’ve mentioned this somewhat with David and the writers… I believe that’s arduous whenever you’ve raised somebody as your individual youngster and don’t need his true parentage revealed each in your son as a result of he might lose every little thing, but in addition there’s received to be some a part of you that worries that your son may like his pure father higher. I believe that’s an actual fascinating shade to play, and I believe one thing that David Berry does nicely with this season. He’s a surrogate father however he’s raised William. He’s his father as a lot as Jamie is.”
Season 7 will introduce us to Rachel Hunter, performed by Izzy Meikle-Small. E-book readers will acknowledge this character immediately, and he or she’ll play a pivotal function within the present transferring ahead. “It’s so thrilling for Younger Ian to get a love curiosity, and we’ve been ready for some time. It’s been some time,” Maril teased. “It simply infused such an vitality to the story. It’s younger love and this sort of will-they-won’t-they. Perhaps with William, there’s a little bit of a love triangle so it’s a very enjoyable little storyline.”
