Outlander season seven ended on a huge twist as Claire Fraser discovered a major character may have actually survived

The couple at the center of Starz's fantasy historical drama unpack how that ending — a surprise to book and non-book fans alike — sets up the eighth and final season, which has already finished filming.

Outlander's leading duo, Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan, have stepped up to defend one of the show's most divisive twists. As their characters, Claire and Jamie Fraser, navigated the tumultuous American Revolution in the latest chapter of the acclaimed Starz series, viewers were hit with some bombshell family revelations.

Outlander’s lead actress Caitriona Balfe has left fans inconsolable with her touching farewell post on social media. Her character Claire Fraser may be coming back for one last chapter along with her husband Jamie (played by Sam Heughan) but, for now, they’ll both be missing from our screens.

Sam Heughan opened up about his audition for Outlander with Caitriona Balfe, revealing what fans have suspected about these two stars all along.

The season seven finale of the time-traveling romance drama aired on Friday. Here's a recap of where the main characters ended up.

Outlander stars Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan have come out in defence of one of the most controversial reveals in the show’s history. While their beloved heroes Claire and Jamie Fraser faced down the American Revolution in the latest instalment of the hit Starz drama, some startling revelations were made about their family.

But which kiss — over all seven seasons of Outlander and even Season 8 — do series stars Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan ... still in store for fans of the Starz show and the chance to chat ...

I suppose if I ever needed to, I could present a full Jamie in my house –  if I’m ever missing him that much,” Sam Heughan joked.

Starz has released a teaser for Outlander: Blood of My Blood, a prequel series to the time-traveling historical drama that will focus on the parents of Outlander’s main characters, Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe). The premium cabler also says the new series will premiere in the summer.

The series will tell the story of how Jamie's parents met in 18th-century Scotland. It will also depict Claire's parents' romance in WWI-era England.

Sam Heughan quipped, “I know every British actor that’s ever worn a suit is probably talked about [in connection with the Bond role] at some point.”
