For more than ten years, Starz’s Outlander has offered viewers a captivating escape from the mundane. This dynamic saga centers on Claire Beauchamp Randall (Caitriona Balfe), a spirited woman from the 20th century who is mysteriously transported back to 18th century Scotland. In this past era, she encounters fellow time travelers, magical enigmas, and the love of her life, the dashing highlander James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser (Sam Heughan). The enduring romance between Jamie and Claire defies both time and geography, but their epic tale is approaching its conclusion.

As the curtain falls on Jamie and Claire’s journey, fans are undoubtedly eager for the last installment of Outlander to begin. Here’s what you need to know about tuning into the upcoming episode.

How Does Outlander End? Will Outlander Season 8 End Like Diana Gabaldon’s Books?

We don’t know how Outlander ends. In fact, very few people apart from showrunner Matthew B. Roberts and creator Maril Davis even know which of the many endings they shot made the final cut.

However, we do know that one of these endings hews close to Diana Gabaldon’s planned ending for the book series.

When DECIDER visited the set of Outlander Season 8 in 2024, Sam Heughan shared that not only had Diana shared her ending with him, but that he was pulling for it to be the show’s ending.

“So I know Diana’s ending, obviously, and we won’t get all the books done, obviously. We’re on Season 8 and she’s still still writing,” Heughan told journalists in 2024.

“Who knows what the actual ending will be? I don’t know specifically. We’re going to shoot various endings, but I don’t know which one they will use,” he said. “But I think one of the ideas, one I’ve been asking for pushing for, is very similar to like how Diana’s book will end.”

Here’s hoping that Starz’s version ends like Diana’s…

Outlander Season 8 Episode 1 will be streaming on Starz on Friday, March 6
