Richard Rankin plays Roger MacKenzie, the daughter of Jamie and Claire. Sophie Skelton plays her mother, Brianna Fraser MacKenzie, who has to learn to live in two different times: the 18th and the 20th.

John Bell plays Young Ian Murray, Jamie's brave nephew who has to deal with cultural and personal problems. There are new characters in season 7 that change the Frasers' fate throughout the war, and there are other characters that come back.
