New Outlander Season 8 Is Happening. STARZ Renewed It
Hey, “Outlander” fans. We hope you guys totally enjoyed the heck out of episode 16 tonight, especially since it was the finale episode of this current season 7. That means it will be a while before you get to see another new episode again.
The good news is that you will indeed get to see a new episode at some point in the future as we can officially confirm with you, right now, that the people over at STARZ did renew Outlander for a brand new season 8!
Yep, according to the folks over at Deadline.com, this terrific news was actually announced a full two years ago back in January of 2023.
They reported that the new season 8 will feature a total of 10, new episodes. Also, season 8 will be the very last season for the show. So, it will definitely end with season 8.
However, the Outlander universe won’t be done because a new prequel series for Outlander is going to come out. It’s titled, “Outlander: Blood of My Blood.” Its very first season will feature a total of 10, new episodes.
The showrunner for Outlander and this new prequel series Matthew B. Roberts described what this new show is about stating, “Outlander: Blood of My Blood is, at its heart, a love story. It will explore what lengths a person will go to find love in a time when love is considered a luxury, and when marriages are made strategically, often for political or financial gain.
The title is a nod to Jamie Fraser’s marriage vow to Claire and there will be several names and faces that Outlander fans will know and recognize. Jamie and Claire’s TV story may be coming to an end with season eight, but Diana is continuing on with their literary journey in her wonderful book series and is working diligently on book ten.
With Jamie and Claire, and now Brian and Ellen, there is still so much more to come in the Outlander universe, and we cannot wait to continue sharing these stories with our dedicated fans.”
During the season 8 renewal announcement for Outlander, Kathryn Busby who is the President of Original Programming over at STARZ had some wonderful things to say about the show stating, “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.
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 of 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.”
Currently, it is not yet known when the new season 8 of Outlander will premiere. So, we’ll have to fill you in on that very important intel when STARZ reveals it at a later date.
Alright, guys. That is a wrap for this latest, “Outlander” TV show report, but definitely stay tuned for more.
