Outlander Season 7 Opening Titles Feature Sinéad O'Connor (Video)

With STARZ's Caitríona Balfe & Sam Heughan-starring Outlander returning for Season 7, here are the opening titles featuring Sinéad O'Connor.

It's been close to a month since fans of STARZ's hit series adaptation of author Diana Gabaldon's international best-selling novels learned of the big changes on the way (more on that below). But for now, the focus is on the upcoming seventh season of the Caitríona Balfe (Claire Fraser) & Sam Heughan (Jamie Fraser)-starrer. And while it might be a bit too early for an extended official trailer, STARZ did release something we're sure you're going to appreciate. What follows is a look at the opening titles for Season 7, performed this season by none other than singer & songwriter Sinéad O'Connor.

With the hit series set to return to screens during Summer 2023, here's a look at the Season 7 opening titles performed by O'Connor. Following that, we have a look at an official teaser for STARZ's Outlander (followed by what else we know about the upcoming season and beyond):

Balfe, Heughan, Sophie Skelton (Brianna MacKenzie), Richard Rankin (Roger MacKenzie), David Berry (Lord John Grey), John Bell (Young Ian), Caitlin O'Ryan (Lizzie Beardsley), and Paul Gorman (The Beardsley twins, Josiah and Keziah") are being joined by a number of familiar and new faces. Loyal fans will recognize Graham McTavish (House of the Dragon, The Hobbit) reprising his role as Dougal MacKenzie, Jamie's uncle whom he killed just before the battle of Culloden; Nell Hudson (Victoria) as Laoghaire Fraser, Jamie's ex-wife & Marsali's mother; Steven Cree (A Discovery of Witches Outlaw King) as Old Ian Murray, Young Ian's father & Jamie's brother-in-law; Andrew Whipp (Shetland) as Brian Fraser, Jamie's father; Layla Burns (She Will) as Joan MacKimmie, Marsali's sister and Jamie's stepdaughter; and Lotte Verbeek (The Fault in Our Stars) as Geillis Duncan, Claire's former friend-turned-enemy and a fellow time traveler from the 1960s.

The seventh season cast also includes Gloria Obianyo (Dune) as Mercy Woodcock, a free Black woman navigating the hardships of life in Colonial America; Rod Hallett (The Last Kingdom) as Benedict Arnold, the notorious Revolutionary soldier turned traitor; Chris Fulton (Bridgerton) as Rob Cameron, a new acquaintance of Roger and Brianna; Diarmaid Murtagh (Vikings) as Buck MacKenzie, the illegitimate son of Dougal MacKenzie and Geillis Duncan, and Roger's ancestor, a role previously played by McTavish in season five, and Kristin Atherton (Shakespeare & Hathaway) as Jenny Murray, Jamie's sister & Young Ian's mother (a role originated by Laura Donnelly in Seasons 1-3). In addition, the upcoming season's cast also includes Charles Vandervaart as William Ransom, Izzy Meikle-Small as Rachel Hunter, and Joey Phillips as Denzell Hunter.

Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis, Toni Graphia, Luke Schelhaas, Andy Harries, Jim Kohlberg, Roberts, Balfe & Heughan executive produce. Outlander is produced by Tall Ship Productions, Left Bank Pictures, and Story Mining & Supply Company in association with Sony Pictures Television.

Outlander: Season 8, Spinoffs & More!

Some huge news for Outlander fans last month, with STARZ announcing that the popular series would be coming to an end with a 10-episode eighth season. But as one door closes, another opens… onto the 10-episode prequel series Outlander: Blood of My Blood, which was also announced. With Outlander showrunner & EP Matthew B. Roberts tapped to write, executive produce, and serve as showrunner, the series is set to focus on the lives and relationship of Jamie Fraser's (Sam Heughan) parents, Brian Fraser and Ellen MacKenzie. Ronald D. Moore will also executive produce the prequel along with Maril Davis. Story Mining & Supply Company will also executive produce, with Gabaldon serving as a consulting producer. Outlander: Blood of My Blood will be produced by Sony Pictures Television, with STARZ's Executive Vice President, Original Programming, Karen Bailey, overseeing the project on behalf of the cabler.

"'Outlander: Blood of My Blood' is, at its heart, a love story. It will explore what lengths a person will go to find love in a time when love is considered a luxury, and when marriages are made strategically, often for political or financial gain," said Roberts in a statement. He continues, "the title is a nod to Jamie Fraser's marriage vow to Claire and there will be several names and faces that 'Outlander' fans will know and recognize. Jamie and Claire's TV story may be coming to an end with season eight, but Diana is continuing on with their literary journey in her wonderful book series and is working diligently on book ten. With Jamie and Claire, and now Brian and Ellen, there is still so much more to come in the 'Outlander' universe, and we cannot wait to continue sharing these stories with our dedicated fans." Now, here's a look at the teaser that was released confirming the news:
