“Outlander” is returning with the concluding episodes of its seventh season this month, but its stars have already wrapped official production on the show’s eighth and final season. Caitríona Balfe and Sam Heughan have played time traveler Claire and 18th century Highlander Jamie since the show began. They recently teased their bittersweet goodbye.
As “Outlander” season seven: part two premieres Nov. 22, stars Caitríona Balfe and Sam Heughan talk about wrapping on the hit show’s eighth and final season. Catriona Balfe and Sam Heughan explain why they’ll be glued to their show’s prequel, “Outlander: Blood of My Blood,” due in 2025. Caitríona Balfe, speaking at PaleyFest in New York City, says “it’s going to be hard to say goodbye” to “Outlander,” but season eight will be the last.
“I played Jamie when he was 23 and now he’s sort of around 60. So it’s quite a journey,” said Heughan. “The show is always changing, always moving, it’s a real journey that they’ve been on from Scotland to America. And I think it’s very rewarding. I’m glad we weren’t in a sort of procedural where we had to sort of be in the same location all the time.”
The latest episodes weave in storylines involving Claire and Jamie’s time-traveling daughter Brianna and her husband Roger and Jamie’s nephew Ian , as well as Jamie’s secret son William and the British lord who is raising him. “It’s actually the last time you see Sleepy,” Heughan says. “He was my horse throughout first seasons. And he’s a black Friesian with a white spot on him. And actually, if you look closely, he somehow transports himself to America as well because he doubles up as a horse in America. But yeah, I mean, we say goodbye to a lot of locations, a lot of characters in Season 7B.”
