Outlander Season 7 Star Talks Waypoints

Heughan has released a memoir titled Waypoints that offers fans a glimpse into his personal life. During an interview with U.K. publication Express, the 42-year-old actor opened up about his relationship with his father, whom he described as "absent" during his upbringing.

The actor revealed that he only met his father for the first time on his deathbed and was struck by the realization that they shared the same movement pattern while on a walk together. This observation left the actor feeling both intrigued and unsettled.

"Partly for an actor, part of my acting brain was like 'oh I'm going to use this and discover more about myself,'" he said. "But the other part of me, I guess the child in me was pretty anxious."

Outlander Season 7 Release Date

Fans of the popular historical drama can mark their calendars for June 16, the much-anticipated premiere date of Outlander Season 7. According to a recent announcement, this upcoming installment will boast an impressive 16 episodes - twice the length of season six. However, viewers will have to exercise patience, as the season will be divided into two parts, with the latter half not set to air until 2024.

Based on the sixth and seventh novels in Diana Gabaldon's series, A Breath of Snow and Ashes and An Echo in the Bone, the new season promises to pick up right where the previous one left off. The sixth season ended with a nail-biting cliffhanger, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats wondering what would become of Claire and Jamie Fraser.

Claire finds herself behind bars in Wilmington, accused of murdering Tom Christie's daughter Malva and facing the very real possibility of execution. Meanwhile, Jamie narrowly escapes the clutches of the dangerous Committee of Safety and is on his way to rescue his wife with the help of Young Ian and John Quincy Myers.

But the Frasers' troubles are far from over, as more dangers and obstacles lie ahead. Until Outlander Season 7 arrives, fans will have to hold their breath and wait.
