Outlander Stars Tease Resolution To Claire's Season 6 Cliffhanger
Warning: This article contains spoilers for Outlander season 6.
Outlander stars Caitriona Balfe (Claire) and Sam Heughan (Jamie) hint at what's ahead for Claire after the tense but tender season 6 finale. The season was truncated due to ongoing complications from the Covid pandemic, as well as Balfe's real-life pregnancy during the majority of filming.

Filming on season 7 is already under way.
The Outlander season 6 finale pitted Jamie and Claire against Richard Brown and his Committee of Safety. After a protracted shoot-out, talks of Jamie's nine lives, and Claire mortally wounding one of Brown's men, she surrenders and agrees to stand trial for the murder of Malva Christie. Unexpectedly, Tom Christie shows the lovers mercy and convinces the Committee to permit them one last night in their home together before they're pulled a part and Claire is escorted to Wilmington, where she is once again accused of being a witch. Before long, Jamie is rescued by Ian and the Cherokee, while Claire awaits her fate, imprisoned, their future together lying in the balance.
