Outlander has made a name for itself as a series full of fiery romances and bloody events. The characters traveled not only across countries but also through time, taking part in political intrigues, wars and uprisings.
Now the eighth installment in the saga about 20th-century nurse Claire and 18th-century Scottish Highlander Jamie is on the way. Work on the new episodes has already started and we have gathered the most essential information about the upcoming season.
Potential Outlander Season 8 Release Date
The release date for the eighth season of the series has not been set.
However, we do know that the second part of Outlander season 7 will be released in November 2024. Therefore, season 8 will probably not air until late 2025 at the earliest.
The new season will consist of 10 episodes.
Outlander Season 8 Plot
The eighth season will be based on Diana Gabaldon’s ninth book, Go Tell The Bees That I’m Gone. Set during the American Revolutionary War, the story follows Jamie and Claire as they struggle to keep their family together.
Diana Gabaldon plans to publish one more book in the Outlander series. The tenth volume is untitled and its release date remains unknown. However, the writer could have revealed some plot details to the show’s creators so that they could incorporate them into the Season 8 storyline.
Outlander season 8 cast
Knowing the plot of Go Tell The Bees That I’m Gone, we can predict who will appear in the next season of Outlander. We expect the following actors to reprise their roles:
- Catherine Balfe -Clear
- Sam Heughan -Jamie
- Sophie Skelton –Brianna
- Richard Rankin -Roger
- John Bell –Ian Fraser Murray
- Charles Vandervaart – William Ransom
- David Berry – Lord John Gray
Unfortunately, Tobias Menzies, who played the dual role of Frank, Claire’s modern-day husband, and Black Jack Randall, Frank’s ancestor, will not return in season 8, despite his character’s presence in the ninth book.
Will there be an Outlander season 9?
No. The eighth season will conclude Jamie and Claire’s breathtaking love story.
