Starz's hit series Outlander is returning for its seventh season, which is said to be the best since the first season. The upcoming season will be drawn primarily from the seventh novel in Diana Gabaldon's book series, with 16 episodes airing in two blocks of eight. The season will see Claire and Jamie Fraser facing new challenges and being separated physically. However, their bond will be tested as they come back together multiple times. The season will also feature the Battle of Saratoga, an important turning point in the American Revolutionary War.
