Outlander producers share surprising detail about season 7, part 1's stirring vision of Scotland

dailyrecord.co.uk:

The second half of Outlander's seventh season is nearly here, and the showrunners continue to drop surprising details about the latest escapades.The midseason finale of Outlander left fans with endless possibilities for what could be next in Claire (played by Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie Fraser's (Sam Heughan) epic historical journey.As countless fans eagerly anticipate the return of the Starz series later this year in November, creators Matthew B Roberts and Maril Davis have been illuminating some crucial moments.Last broadcast in August 2023, the seventh chapter was put on hold following a thrilling cliffhanger with the Frasers at sea.Claire and Jamie are finally returned to their original home of Scotland, but only under the stipulation that they lay General Simon Fraser (Angus Macfadyen) to rest once they arrive.Young Ian Murray (John Bell) also manages to accompany them, and the first half of the season wraps up with a moving glimpse of the Scottish coast.Although this scene was the most critical moment of the final episode, the producers disclosed it was actually one of the very first scenes they shot for the new season."It was very deliberate to pick this ship moment as the last moment," Roberts clarified during a chat with Starz."We knew we were going to split the season into two.

So we wrote it to have a nice moment."And a lot of times with Outlander, as the fans and the audience will know, we leave them out on the plank.

Like, 'Oh God, what's going to happen'."And I think we wanted to really leave them with a genuine upbeat moment."Although the Frasers go through quite a bit of turmoil throughout the new season, the last scene might just have set the tone for what's to come.Roberts' fellow executive producer
