Outlander season 7 trailer has been released, giving fans a preview of what's ahead for Jamie and Claire in this penultimate chapter.

The new clip, released today (May 11), also sees Sam Heughan's Jamie reunite with Lord John Grey, portrayed by David Berry.

It seems that Jamie will have to make a tough decision in this new batch of episodes, set to premiere in the summer. The video shows Jamie faced with the choice of whether to fight for the British crown, to avoid meeting his own son on opposite sides of the battlefield.

The Scot and John have some history on the show, with the latter being introduced in season three and secretly harbouring feelings for Jamie. As for Jamie's son, William Ransom (to be played by Charles Vandervaart in season 7), he was put in the care of John seasons prior following the death of his mother Geneva Dunsany.

As for Caitríona Balfe's Claire, it appears the protagonist may be facing a grim fate as she is seen on the gallows as a rope is passed around her neck.

Earlier this year, the series from the novel series by Diana Gabaldon was renewed for an eighth and final chapter consisting of ten episodes.

Premiered in 2014, the TV series tells the time-hopping love story between Highland warrior Jamie and Second World War nurse Claire. This impossible meeting takes place when Clare finds herself back in 1743 Scotland and becomes involved in a Jacobite rising.

Meanwhile, fans will be treated to another Outlander story with a previously announced prequel series.

Titled Outlander: Blood of My Blood, the upcoming series will chronicle the romance between Jamie's parents.

Outlander airs on Starz in the US, and streams on Lionsgate+ in the UK.
