Even though season 7 has not premiered yet, Outlander is renewed for season 8. It will also mark the show's final season, setting up to conclude Claire and Jaime's love story.
Though season 7 is still in production, Outlander is confirmed to return for season 8 on Starz, which will also be the last. Outlander premiered on the network in 2014 and is based around a World War II English combat nurse from 1945 who is reunited with her husband, Frank, after the war, only to be whisked away through time after touching a magical stone in Scotland and ends up in 1743.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY According to Variety, Outlander has been renewed for season 8 by Starz, with confirmation that it will be the show's last. The news comes months before the premiere of Outlander season 7 on the premium cable and streaming channel, which is slated for a summer 2023 release. Starz previously announced that a prequel series, Outlander: Blood of My Blood, had been greenlit to start production, though the release date for the series is not yet confirmed.
“For nearly a decade ‘Outlander’ has won the hearts of audiences worldwide and we’re pleased to bring Claire and Jamie’s epic love story to a proper conclusion. But before we close this chapter there is plenty of their passionate story to tell over the course of 26 new episodes and even more to explore of this dynamic world and its origin story. We’re thrilled to continue to partner with Matthew, Maril and Ronald and can’t wait to see where their alluring storytelling takes us next.
Outlander season 8 won't be as long as season 7, but it will be an upgrade over season 6. Season 8 will have ten episodes and see the conclusion to Claire and Jamie's love story. Outlander executive producers Matthew B. Roberts, Ronald D. Moore, and Maril Davis will all return to work on the project for season 8. The season 6 finale saw Claire delivered to the jail in Wilmington to await her trial.
The outcome of Claire's trial will be one of the key focuses in season 7. Outlander's book plot that season 7 is based on also follows Jamie and Claire's daughter Brianna and her husband Roger, who manage to return to the 20th century with their two children, Jeremiah and Mandy. There's no confirmation as to which book season 8 will be based on, but it could be Written in My Own Heart's Blood, which is the novel that immediately follows An Echo in the Bone.
