Outlander Season 8 Announcement (0:57)Where that story will be isn’t exactly known at present. Season 7— with its 16 episodes—will be taking story from Gabaldon’s sixth and seventh books in the series —A Breath of Snow and Ashes and An Echo in My Bones—but until it airs, it’s hard to speculate on what will come next.
So, we'll just have to wait to see whether or not Season 8 will wrap up not only Jamie and Claire’s story, but also those for Brianna (Sophie Skelton) and Roger (Richard Rankin), and Young Ian, but one thing that seems clear is that Gabaldon will have input into the ending of the series.
What is the Outlander Season 8 release date?
The eighth season of Outlander wrapped production in Scotland, with Sam and Caitríona posted the announcement saying, "Today marks the final day of filming on the final season of #Outlander. Words cannot express the gratitude owed to each and every hard-working cast and crew member who brought this incredible series to life and every single fan who supports it with passion, creativity, and dedication. Outlander really is more than just a show, it’s a family, and while filming might be ending, there’s so much more to this journey that’s just beginning."
