“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,” Kathryn Busby, Starz President of Original Programming, said.
“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 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,” she announced.
Fans can expect 16 full episodes, which are based on Gabaldon’s seventh book, titled An Echo in the Bone. Meanwhile, the final season will only have 10 episodes and will be based on Gabaldon’s eighth book titled Written in My Own Heart’s Blood.
