The STARZ series Outlander is confirmed to end with Season 8, but a prequel series has also been confirmed to move forward.
STARZ has confirmed today that the fan-favorite original series Outlander has been renewed for a Season 8, though this news is bittersweet, as the upcoming season is also set to be its last. Luckily, this doesn't mean that fans will have to say goodbye to the time-traveling romance forever, as the long-rumored prequel series Outlander: Blood of My Blood will be moving forward.
"Outlander: Blood of My Blood is, at its heart, a love story. It will explore what lengths a person will go to find love in a time when love is considered a luxury, and when marriages are made strategically, often for political or financial gain," Matthew B. Roberts, showrunner and executive producer, shared in a statement."The title is a nod to Jamie Fraser's marriage vow to Claire and there will be several names and faces that Outlander fans will know and recognize.
Season 8 of Outlander will consist of 10 episodes, as opposed to Season 7's 16 episodes. Season 7 is currently filming and is expected to debut on STARZ this summer. "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," Kathryn Busby, President, Original Programming for STARZ, added."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.
Per press release,"Outlander showrunner and executive producer Matthew B. Roberts is signed on to write Outlander: Blood of My Blood and will also serve as showrunner and executive producer of the prequel series. In addition to Roberts, Ronald D. Moore will also executive produce the prequel along with Maril Davis. Moore and Davis developed Outlander for television, under their production banner Tall Ship Productions.
