The first half of Season 7 of Outlander ended with a nail-biting cliffhanger, as Roger embarked on a perilous journey to rescue his kidnapped son. While fans of the novels may have some idea of what's to come, the Starz show is notorious for deviating from the source material. Quotes from the creative team have only heightened fans' concerns for their beloved characters.
As we left off, the Fraser family was facing a heartbreaking separation. Roger and Brianna, learning of their daughter's heart defect, made the difficult decision to travel back to the 20th century for medical treatment. Settling in 1980s Scotland, they thought they had found happiness, until their son Jemmy was kidnapped by a man named Rob Cameron. The first half of Season 7 ended with a cliffhanger as Roger and Buck decide to follow Cameron into the past, leaving Brianna and Mandy alone in the 80s.
The second half of Season 7 will encompass the events of the seventh and eighth Outlander books, "An Echo in the Bone" and "Written in My Heart's Own Blood." While the novels follow Claire's journey to Philadelphia to perform a life-saving surgery, fans have noticed that certain characters are missing from the cast list.
This suggests that the show might deviate from the books in some surprising ways.
Executive producer Matthew B. Roberts has revealed that the upcoming episodes will be an emotional rollercoaster, with battles both on the battlefield and within the characters' hearts. Roberts promises that viewers will be taken to new emotional depths, leaving them emotionally wrecked. Lead actress Caitriona Balfe has also hinted at a challenging sequence of scenes, leading fans to worry about the fate of their favorite characters.
For fans of Outlander, who have already witnessed the Frasers endure unimaginable hardships, the prospect of even darker days ahead is concerning. What could be worse than what they have already faced? As the second half of Season 7 awaits, fans eagerly anticipate the answers to these burning questions.
