What to expect for Jenny Murray in Outlander Season 7B based on the book

As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for historical fiction series like Outlander, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and nostalgia as we approach Season 7B. The recasting of Jenny Murray is an interesting twist, but I have faith that Kristin Atherton will bring her own unique charm to the role.


It was previously announced in 2023 that Jenny Murray would appear in ‘Outlander’ Season 7. This information surfaced when it was disclosed that the role of Jenny had been re-cast.

Laura Donnelly, who played a significant role in Outlander, won’t be returning for Season 4. This required some adjustments in the plot as her character was expected. However, Jenny is crucial in Season 7, so they had to find a new actress to portray the character. Kristin Atherton has been chosen for the role and we’re excited to see her performance.

As a game enthusiast, let me share what lies ahead for our character, Jenny Murray. To uncover her destiny, I’ll delve into the pages of “An Echo in the Bone” and “Written in My Own Heart’s Blood.” However, be warned that this journey might reveal some book spoilers. Let the adventure begin!

Jenny Murray will blame Claire Fraser for someone’s death in Outlander Season 7B

As a devoted reader, I can’t help but share some unfortunate news from Diana Gabaldon’s “Outlander” series. If you’ve delved into the pages of “An Echo in the Bone,” you’ll recognize who I’m referring to. Regrettably, Ian Murray won’t survive until the end of this captivating saga. He succumbs to consumption, a term synonymous with tuberculosis during his era.

As a gamer putting myself in Claire’s shoes, I wish I could find a way to help him, honestly I do. But here’s the thing, I don’t have the medicine he needs. At this stage of his sickness, it seems like there isn’t much I can do, no matter how hard I try. The disease has advanced too far for any simple solutions.

As a gamer, I’ve got to say, I don’t appreciate that response. It feels like Claire is trying to put me in the doghouse for old times’ sake. With my heart still heavy from losing my partner, it’s tough not to see her as someone I can point the finger at. Claire seems to understand this, letting me vent and find solace in my blame game.

Jenny Murray heads to America in An Echo in the Bone

After the departure of Ian and Young Jamie starting a new life with his family, Jenny comes to terms with the fact that she has no ties left in Scotland. She makes up her mind to accompany Jamie to America, and they have plans to embark on a specific vessel at a later date.

Jamie and Jenny failed to catch the ship, and Jamie couldn’t notify Claire about it on time. As a result, Claire thinks that both Jamie and Jenny perished at sea. However, an important plot twist awaits as Jamie and Jenny eventually reappear in Philadelphia.

In “Written in My Own Heart’s Blood,” Claire and Jenny find peace with their past losses, as Jenny understands that Claire couldn’t prevent Ian’s fate. Both women extend forgiveness to each other, leading them to reconcile by the end of the book, restoring their relationship.

Additionally, Jenny regains her role as both a mother-in-law and grandmother once more. Rachel Hunter officially joins the family, and Jenny extends her love and support to Rachel and Ian during the birth of their baby boy.

Now you can see why Jenny needed to be recast for Outlander Season 7B.

What about Jenny in 1739 in the Outlander books?

In addition, Jenny Murray makes an appearance at a different point within the narrative of “Written in My Own Heart’s Blood.” The character of a younger Jenny can be found when Roger travels to Lallybroch during the year 1739.

It’s uncertain whether the plot for Outlander Season 7B will feature both Brian Fraser and a younger version of Jenny. Given that Brian is set to return, there’s a possibility that production may focus solely on him to save time and resources. If they choose to include a young Jenny, she might give Roger the dog tags and instruct him to discuss them with Black Jack Randall at Fort William, potentially leading Roger on a quest to locate his father.
