Outlander spoilers, news, and updates tease that Sam Heughan, who plays Jamie Fraser, has a major update on how the series will conclude. In an interview with The Herald, Sam Heughan opens up about the upcoming series ending of the historical drama that has captured many fans over the span of seven seasons. He said that they “still have a long way to go. We were very conscious while shooting this penultimate season that towards the end, you could feel it. It was tangible.”
He shared that everyone, particularly him, is trying to come to terms with the fact that they are heading to the final season. The show has been part of his life for the past 10 years.
“I guess some people might not be able to understand it, but it really is woven into my life,” Sam Heughan said. “It has taken over my whole life for the last 10 years. It feels natural to be shooting every day or in New York doing press, that cycle and recurring itinerary we’re on. And it is all going to end, I am very aware of that. It is making me want to enjoy it more.”
Sam Heughan – Wants A Different Ending
Admittedly, there’s still a lot on Diana Gabaldon’s book that the show hasn’t covered, and the authors still writing the 10th book.
So, Sam Heughan said, “We will have to end it some way. Perhaps not a way that the books end it. I am pushing for a different ending, but I don’t think I am going to get what I want.”
He added that it’s up to the writers now, and that we’ll just find out later. The production for Season 8 is yet to start.
Sam Heughan added that the ending may not satisfy everyone, but “hopefully, we can get to a place where at least our Outlander is told. It won’t be the full book, but at least it’s our story, and it will hopefully give some sort of finality.”
Meanwhile, fans can continue to enjoy Outlander Season 7 that premiered in June. The first half of the season has just concluded for its mid-season break, but there are still eight more episodes that are scheduled for 2024.
