Will There Be A Season 8 Of Outlander?
Starz has officially renewed Outlander for an eighth season, which will mark the conclusion of the series. This final chapter will consist of 10 episodes and aims to provide definitive closure to the saga of Jamie and Claire Fraser. Production wrapped in September 2024, and while an exact release date has not been announced, season 8 is expected to premiere on Starz in late 2025 or early 2026. The core cast, including Sam Heughan and Caitríona Balfe, will return to reprise their roles, ensuring continuity for the series’ concluding storylines.
