The premium network also revealed key footage of the American Revolution in full swing with the tagline "Our History is Now," featuring Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitríona Balfe) on a battlefield.
Season seven resumes the harrowing events of the end of season six, with Jamie and Young Ian racing to rescue Claire before she is tried and wrongfully convicted of the murder of Malva Christie. But their mission is complicated by the onset of a geopolitical firestorm: the American Revolution has arrived.
In the seventh season, Jamie, Claire and their family are involved in the violent birth of a rising nation as armies go to war and British institutions crumble in the face of armed rebellion.
The land the Frasers call home is changing - and they must change with it. To protect what they've built, the Frasers must face the perils of the Revolutionary War. They learn that sometimes you have to leave behind to defend what you love. As the conflict pulls them out of North Carolina and into the heart of the independence struggle, Jamie, Claire, Brianna and Roger are faced with impossible decisions that could tear their family apart.
