We've known for a while now that Outlander would be finishing up with its eighth and final season but that doesn't make it any less of a bitter pill to swallow for fans, we're sure. However, the show isn't returning for a ninth season and is finished as we know it.
But just why won't there be anymore Outlander? Read on to find out.
Why won't there be an Outlander season 9?
When the news was initially announced, there were plenty of fans who couldn't understand why one of TV's most successful period dramas would be drawing to a close – but it just seems like now is the right time to bid farewell to our cast of well-known characters.
Davis continued: "I mean, we would’ve gone on. I think there was – or I would say, I would’ve gone on, I don’t want to speak for you. I just think, you’d have to talk to Caitríona [Balfe] and Sam [Heughan], see how they felt but I do think that after 10/12 years of doing this, people probably want to move on and do something else for a change, spread their wings.
As the execs note, series stars Sam Heughan and Caitríona Balfe have devoted much of their careers to leading Outlander, with both of them having led the show for nearly 13 years in total. So, it's natural that the stars would want to bow out on a high.
Speaking previously to The Irish Star about the show ending, Heughan said: "I think we’re ready to move on. It’s a long time…I think it’s good for change, and it’s good for people to mix things up.
Balfe previously told Radio Times about the show ending: "It's really strange thinking that this time next year or whatever, it'll be finished and that'll be it, it'll be a chapter done in my life. I'm going to definitely struggle with that because it's been so great. It'll be sad to say goodbye to it.
As of now, Diana Gabaldon's tenth Outlander novel has not been released but it makes sense that it will end on a different note to the TV series, seeing as the show writers didn't know how the book would end either.
While fans will have the tenth novel to look forward to and TV show spin-off Blood of My Blood, the original series of Outlander is coming to an end as we know it. But with the original series having proven to be such a success, we can assume it certainly won't be the end of Outlander's future reach and can likely anticipate further spin-offs and series in the future – we'll be keeping our fingers crossed!
