The primary half of Outlander‘s super-sized Season 7 is sort of over, which means that followers are on the verge of one other Droughtlander hiatus for the remainder of the 12 months. It is already clear that the present has an intense midseason finale deliberate after the newest episode’s reveal of a brand new villain, however one star shared some ideas which might be price a smile as an alternative of dread for what’s on the best way. John Bell, who has been enjoying Ian Murray since all the best way again in Season 3, remains to be often known as “Younger Ian,” and the actor spoke with CinemaBlend in regards to the nickname sticking.
After I spoke with the forged of Outlander on the Season 7 press occasion, John Bell shared some lighthearted perception between addressing Ian’s priorities and dropping some foreboding feedback. I requested the 25-year-old actor if he thinks his character will ever cease being often known as “Younger Ian,” and he laughed and stated:
Not so younger Ian anymore! I do not know, I like being Younger Ian. I am gonna be holding on to it so long as potential. However it’s okay, you are allowed to seek out Ian attractive now. I am going to provide you with that.
To be truthful, Ian may hardly have been any youthful when he first appeared in Outlander. He was born through the Season 3 episode known as “Give up” when Jamie was almost caught at Lallybroch, previous to the bloody twist of Fergus dropping a hand. John Bell debuted within the position a number of episodes later, after a time bounce and Claire’s return to the previous.
Within the seasons since, Ian has been kidnapped by pirates, almost used as a blood sacrifice by Geillis Duncan, taken in by the Mohawk, fought in battles, acquired married, and is now a part of the American Revolution along with his aunt and uncle with a vow of vengeance hanging over him. He is actually not a teenager anymore, however John Bell is a fan of the “Younger Ian” nickname!
For all that Younger Ian is now concerned in battle, he not too long ago acquired some completely satisfied information: his former Mohawk spouse had truly given beginning to their son years earlier than. Whereas Ian will not be a part of the boy’s life, he was clearly glad to know that he had a son and was in actual fact capable of have youngsters. It stays to be seen if Jamie and Claire ever truly make the journey to Scotland to return their nephew to his mom, though it is price noting {that a} new actress has been forged to play Jenny Murray in Season 7.
Sadly, just one episode is left earlier than Outlander heads into one other hiatus. Although the present acquired a super-sized order of sixteen episodes for Season 7 after Season 6 was lower quick, Starz will air the again eight episodes sooner or later in 2024. An official premiere date for Season 7B has not but been introduced, and I am positive I am not the one one hoping that the present will return earlier slightly than later subsequent 12 months.
For now, you possibly can stay up for the midseason finale of Outlander Season 7 on Friday, August 11 at 8 p.m. ET on Starz earlier than the remainder of the 2023 TV schedule is Sassanach-free. You too can revisit earlier days of Outlander when Younger Ian when a lot youthful, with the primary 5 seasons streaming with a Netflix subscription.
