STARZ has announced the renewal of Outlander for an eighth season, but this news is not as pleasant as it might seem: the platform has in fact added that it will also be the last. Luckily, that doesn’t mean fans will have to say goodbye to the time-traveling romance forever, as the Outlander: Blood of My Blood prequel will be made, which will focus on Jamie Fraser’s parentage (Sam Heughan) and will see the return of many creatives from the mother series.

“Outlander: Blood of My Blood is a love story. It will explore how far a person can go to find love when love is considered a luxury, and when marriages are made strategically, often for political or financial gain”he has declared Matthew B. Robertsshowrunner and executive producer. “The title is a reference to Jamie Fraser’s marriage vows to Claire, and there will be several names that Outlander fans will recognize. Jamie and Claire’s TV story may conclude with season 8, but Diana is continuing with their journey literary. With Jamie and Claire, and now Brian and Ellen, there is so much more to do in the Outlander universe, and we look forward to continuing to share these stories with our devoted fans.”.

Outlander season 8 will consist of 10 episodessix fewer than the seventh – currently in filming and expected to debut on STARZ this summer.

“For nearly a decade, Outlander has captured the hearts of audiences around the world and we are delighted to bring Claire and Jamie’s epic love story to a fitting conclusion.”he has declared Kathryn Busbypresident of original programming at STARZ. “But before we close this chapter there is much of their passionate story to tell over the course of 26 new episodes.
