The 'Outlander' Season 7 Trailer Teases the American Revolution

Starz's time-traveling period drama Outlander has taken viewers everywhere from 18th century Scotland and France to 1950s America over the course of its six seasons to date, so it probably shouldn't surprise anyone that Season 7 will see the Fraser family embroiled in the American Revolution. (Yes, alongside their adult daughter who was raised in the future. Just go with it at this point.)

The popular historical romance follows the love story of World War II Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe) and handsome Scottish warrior Jamie Frasier (Sam Heughan), who must endure all manner of sorrow, hardship, violence, and joy across multiple time periods and continents as they struggle to stay together. As Season 6 concluded, the Frasers are now homesteaders in North Carolina in 1776 as the Revolutionary War looms in the distance.

Season 7 will essentially pick up where its predecessor left off, with Claire charged with the murder of her close medical apprentice, Malva Christie. If she's found guilty, she'll hang. Her husband Jamie is on his way to save her, along with Young Ian, and while we have to assume they'll make it in time given how many other things the trailer hints will likely be happening, the looming noose in the trailer suggests that it might be a pretty near thing.
