Starz has some good news and some bad news for fans of Outlander. The good news is that it will be back for an 8th season. The bad news is that it will be the last.
“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,” said Kathryn Busby, President, Original Programming for STARZ. “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.”
The 7th season will air its 16 episodes this summer, and the 10-episode final season will air later on.
I know it sucks. But the news is not all bad. Starz picked up the prequel series Outlander: Blood of My Blood which will focus on Jamie’s parents, Brian Fraser and Ellen Mackenzie. So there is that.
