Are you ready to meet the Hunters in Outlander Season 7? Joey Phillips and Izzy Meikle-Small introduce us to their characters.
Just like when it came to meeting the Christies ahead of Outlander Season 6, the show is introducing us to a couple of new characters. It’s all about the Hunters in Season 7. The good news is they’re not as troublesome as the Christies—although we’re not giving away major spoilers here.
The Hunters are siblings, and we’re getting to meet them through the actors. Joey Phillips and Izzy Meikle-Small have shared a little about who their characters are and a bit about their costumes.
Meet the Hunters in Outlander
Take a look at the video below. We’ll take out a few important notes from what has been said.

Something that initially stood out was how Phillips responded to how the siblings are close. From a show-first fan, this could have sounded ominous, but don’t worry. They are close in a sibling way. This is nothing like Cersei and Jaime in Game of Thrones! I guess you just never know with these types of shows, especially if you know the Christie spoilers still to come.
Denzell and Rachel’s parents aren’t around anymore. They are all the two have in the world, and they do look out for each other. As Izzy says, Rachel doesn’t get a choice about travelling with Denzell. He is her home.
Something else that stands out is their costumes. They are Quakers, and that means a more conservative style of dress than we’ve seen before. It was the costume that stood out for a lot of people when the two actors were spotted filming in Glasgow, so this is important.
What I love is that we don’t get major spoilers for the characters in the video. However, they are familiar with the world of Outlander, and at least one of them is reading the books.
