Geez, another good reason why I've never bothered to watch this
"Politcal Correctness"-motivated crap. :-\

'Outlander' Renewed for Season 7 at Starz
-----------------------------------------
"Outlander" has been renewed for Season 7 at Starz.

The news comes as the show is currently in production on
Season 6, which was supposed to begin last year but was
delayed due to the pandemic. Season 7 of the popular
series will be based on the seventh book in Diana
Gabaldon's "Outlander" series, "An Echo in the Bone." It
will consist of 12 episodes.

"Starz is committed to investing in unapologetic, bold
premium storytelling that amplifies diverse voices and
shines a spotlight on women in front of and behind the
camera through our #TakeTheLead initiative," said
Christina Davis, president of original programming for
Starz. "The hit series 'Outlander' embodies everything
about our initiative including a powerful female lead
character and an amazing team of storytellers. We look
forward to following the adventures of Claire and Jamie
in America during the Revolution as well as more time
travel during this next season."

"Outlander" stars Caitriona Balfe, Sam Heughan, Sophie
Skelton, and Richard Rankin, all of whom are expected to
return for Season 7. Heughan and fellow "Outlander" star
Graham McTavish can also currently be seen in the Starz
docuseries "Men in Kilts: A Roadtrip with Sam and
Graham." The show follows the pair on a roadtrip through
Scotland as they explore their heritage and exploring
what it means to be Scottish.

Ronald D. Moore, Matthew B. Roberts, Maril Davis, Toni
Graphia, Andy Harries and Jim Kohlberg serve as
executive producers, with Roberts also serving as
showrunner. The series is produced by Tall Ship
Productions, Left Bank Pictures, and Story Mining &
Supply Company, in association with Sony Pictures
Television.

"We are so excited Starz has given us the opportunity to
continue the epic 'Outlander' journey," said Roberts.
"We can't wait to get into the writer's room and start
breaking Echo in the Bone and look forward to giving the
fans another season of this exhilarating story."
