If you recall, season seven ended with Jamie’s fateful decision to resign his Continental Army commission and return to Fraser’s Ridge with Claire. After an emotional family reunion, the MacKenzies needed to decide where and when to settle next, and a mind-blowing cliff-hanger left us questioning the true fate of Claire and Jamie’s first daughter, Faith.
As the final season begins, Jamie and Claire will find the war has followed them home to Fraser’s Ridge, now a thriving settlement. With new arrivals and changes made during their years away, the Frasers are confronted with the question of what they’re willing to sacrifice for the place they call home and, more importantly, what they would sacrifice to stay together. While the Frasers keep a united front against outside intruders, family secrets finally coming to light threaten to tear them apart from the inside. Although they’ve left the war for America’s freedom behind, their fight for Fraser’s Ridge has only just begun.
When the final season premieres, it will be available to stream weekly on Fridays only on the Starz app, Starz streaming, and on-demand platforms. Seasons one through seven are available now on the Starz app, Starz streaming, and on-demand platforms. And we have more seasons of the Outlander prequel, Blood of My Blood, to look forward to.
And here’s a video with Caitriona Balfe (Claire Fraser), Sam Heughan (Jamie Fraser), Sophie Skelton (Brianna MacKenzie), Richard Rankin (Roger MacKenzie), and John Bell (Young Ian) reacting to the news of the show’s final season to help us deal with our grief (because let’s be honest, that’s what it is).
