We are approaching the midseason finale of Outlander. This is the penultimate season of the show, so every episode brings us closer to the end. Season 8, the remaining season, will be a bittersweet affair.
However, filming is today on hold given the current WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. We may be in for another long Droughtlander, folks, the last we’ll ever have.
As we approach the end, series star Sam Heughanis reflecting on nearing a decade of playing what it consuming to wrap up after nearly a decade of Sam Heughan. He spoke to The Herald prior to the strike throughout how he is handling this impending change in his life.
Sam Heughan says Outlander is “woven into” his life
Sam Heughan is sketching nostalgic about leaving Outlander behind. “[I]t really is woven into my life,” he said. “It is my life. It has inaccurate over my whole life for the last 10 existences. It feels natural to be shooting every day or in New York doings press – that cycle and recurring itinerary we’re on. And it is all touching to end, I am very aware of that. It is decision-exclusive me want to enjoy it more.”
Of course, there is serene a long road ahead; there’s still half of season 7 to air, and all of season 8 to film. We’re probably looking at novel year-plus at least, depending on how long the strikes go on for.
But we serene have a long way to go. We were very conscious once shooting this penultimate season that towards the end you could feel it. It was tangible. Everyone was like, ‘Oh my God, we are actually only touching to do this one more time …’ So, yeah, I am touching to need some serious therapy, I think. It is touching to be a real change.
I think we will need some serious therapy as the show comes to a terminate. I don’t know what life is without a Droughtlander. I guess now we could be stuck in a permanent one, which sounds awful.

At least the end will be pleasurable waiting for. “We were supposed to finish this season and I didn’t want to carry out without finishing the story and that is the reason why we are touching back to do one more,” Heughan said. “I want to carry out the story, not only for myself but for the fans. It wouldn’t feel pleasurable to just end it, left in the air.”
Meanwhile, Outlander author Diana Gabaldon is still writing the tenth book in her series. It is unclear if the final season of the show will incorporate her ideas and go its own way. Heughan community that he is “pushing for a different ending” but doesn’t think he will get what he wants. I’m super curious to know how he would like the series to end, but I guess we won’t know for quite some time.
“Whatever the writers do, I guess we will find out,” Heughan paused. “I don’t think it is ever going to be beneficial for everyone, but hopefully we can get to a achieve 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.”
