Starz is ramping up the excitement for Outlander’s return by sharing a teaser on Instagram, hinting at some intense moments to come. The video features Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe, who portray Jamie and Claire Fraser, offering fresh insights into what awaits in the latter half of season 7.
With the new episodes set to release in just one week, fans are on edge, especially after learning that the season 7b finale will conclude with a jaw-dropping cliffhanger. The Outlander leads have cautioned fans to brace themselves for an emotional rollercoaster, as revealed in the latest clip, reports the Daily Record.
They responded to an Instagram comment saying: “Caitriona and Sam serving in the acting department as usual. Can’t wait to have my heart torn apart in shreds.”
“Aagh, what is that sound?” Sam humorously asked, to which Caitriona responded: “You’re tearing my heart apart!”
Sam then jestingly replied: “You’re tearing my guts out Claire! Yes, you are going to have your hearts torn to shreds this season, I promise. It’s a really good one.”
Caitriona chimed in, saying: “It’s super exciting, it’s very dramatic, we are trying to serve you all the drama and the love. And we’re super grateful for you guys watching, so stay tuned for season 7, part two!”
The comments section was abuzz with fan reactions, with one particularly eager viewer writing: “SO stoked!! I’ve blocked out next weekend for whiskey and binge watching. *Sigh* I absolutely adore these two!!” (sic)
A second fan excitedly chimed in: “From tomorrow. ONE. MORE. WEEK!!!” (sic)
Meanwhile, a third fan shared their bittersweet anticipation: “They are the best. Cannot wait for the next season! But also not sure if I’m ready to have my guts torn out.” (sic)
Another fan expressed their admiration, saying: “I love them. They are the best thing to ever happen to Starz!” (sic)
The outpouring of enthusiasm follows the release of the season 7b trailer, which hints at yet another heart-wrenching separation between Claire and Jamie.
In a particularly distressing scene, Lord John Grey, played by David Berry, appears to deliver the devastating news of Jamie’s demise to Claire.
However, she remains resolute, countering: “I would feel it in my heart if it had stopped, mine would stop too.”
