IT’S OUTLANDER SEASON BABY.
By Katherine Stinson
Forget spooky season — October 2024 is officially Outlander month. The cast is taking on Manhattan, one event at a time in order to promote the second half of the show’s seventh season.
We know — it’s been a while.
Both PaleyFest and New York Comic-Con take place within the same date range — Oct. 16 to Oct. 22 for the former and Thursday, Oct. 17, 2024 – Sun, Oct. 20, respectively.
The special 10-year Outlander anniversary panel at PaleyFest is slated to take place on Wednesday, Oct. 16. The cast will then feature in a panel at New York Comic-Con the following day (for those who have never been, it’s definitely a treat! In past years, the panel has featured exclusive clips from the upcoming season — one year, fans were even spoiled with a whole premiere episode! You just have to keep your lips sealed about spoilers until the actual premiere date.)
So, what can fans expect from the second half of the seventh season? Starz has an official synopsis to keep us fed until Outlander October.
“Coming off of the first half of Outlander season seven, viewers find Claire (Caitríona Balfe), Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Young Ian (John Bell) 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 (Richard Rankin) and Brianna (Sophie Skelton) 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?”
As of writing, the times for both panels have yet to be confirmed — we’re keeping an eye on the official PaleyFest and NYCC websites and will update Outlander TV News readers with the times as soon as they’re announced!
In the interim, here’s a cute video of our faves celebrating the show’s 10th anniversary on set.
Outlander returns on November 22, and you bet I’m as excited as can be to review every episode.
