Season 8 ended with Jamie (Sam Heughan) preparing to die in the Battle of Kings Mountain. He gets brutally injured, and Claire (Caitríona Balfe) stays with him all night. Roger (Richard Rankin) tells her it's time to bury him. She closes her eyes and lies next to him.
The final scene shows Claire and Jamie's eyes opening. Are they dead or are they alive? Fans shouldn't go to Roberts, 56, for answers. He told Variety that he knows exactly what happened but will not share.

"If I say definitively, ‘This is what you should take from it,’ then I think that diminishes your experience," the showrunner said. "I don’t want to do that to the fans. They’ve earned their right to make up their own minds about what that is."
The ending being vague worked for some viewers. "I’m not mad at how it ended," a fan wrote in a Reddit thread about the finale. "They for sure set it up for a we’re coming back in the future. Would not be surprised if they didn’t do more at some point."
"That’s definitely how I see it too. Such a good way to set up a movie or something to continue the story," another commenter agreed.
One fan had a theory that the show's ending had to do with author Diana Gabaldon needing to release the final book. "I sort of feel like, while it set it up for something in the future, they gave Diana the ending," a fan wrote. "It was inconclusive logically but gave the emotional truth that their love transcends time and they are always with each other. But it really feels like honoring her by saying, if you want to know how it ends, read the books."
The tenth and final book, A Blessing For A Warrior Going Out, still needs to be released. However, the author was consulted to help with the series' finale.
