This Teaser Is Your First Look at 'Outlander' Season 4
Warning: If you’re not fully caught up on Season 3 of Outlander, spoilers abound. Get caught up with our Outlander recaps here!
The third season of Outlander, our favorite steamy time-traveling drama, wrapped up with a bang on Sunday night, and where do we even begin? Young Ian held prisoner, Geillis’s grisly demise, a life-threatening storm, and eventually our heroes—Jamie and Claire—wind up on the new shores of the American colonies.
We’ll have to wait until 2018 to find out what happens to Jamie and Claire in America—cue #Droughtlander—but until then, we have a quick sneak peek at Season 4 to tide us over.
In the teaser, Jamie and Claire sit in the woods under a blanket, while Claire talks about their upcoming adventure to the new land, and “the American dream.”
“Is that the same as our dream?” asks Jamie. “I suppose it is,” Claire answers.
What do we know beyond what’s shown in the video? “The upcoming season continues the romantic adventures of Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan),” according to the press release. We should most certainly hope so—we’re not watching it for the fight scenes, TBH.
And, yes, the new season’s premiere date of “sometime in 2018” means we have a long and very vague amount of time to wait. But there’s good news, too: The fourth season will be based on the fourth book in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series—so if we keep going with the one-book-per-season model, then we have a whole five seasons left of Jamie and Claire.
Here’s what else we know: We’ll have a new villain in Season 4—Stephen Bonnet (played by Ed Speelers)—and we’ll also meet Jamie’s Aunt Jocasta (played by Maria Doyle Kennedy).
Watch the teaser here and try to be patient. 2018 isn’t too far away …
