When is the eighth season anticipated to release? Here is everything we know about Outlander Season 8.
If you have been keeping up with this historical drama series, then we know that the much-awaited Outlander Season 8 is officially on the way! Back in 2022, development began on a prequel series titled Outlander: Blood of My Blood, which will focus on Jamie Fraser’s parents.
The series was officially picked up by Starz in January 2023 with a 10-episode first season, while the parent series was announced to have been renewed for an eighth and final season. Since then, it is obvious that there is still a long way to go before they premiere on Starz, as the production hasn’t even begun yet.
It is assumed that it is in the early stages of writing because, if you’ve been keeping up with the series’ most recent updates on its official social media accounts, then you know that the seventh season just finished its production. Hence, there is no chance that the eighth season will air this year.
There have been no significant updates revealed thus far, which is understandable given it has yet to debut its seventh season, which consists of 16 episodes and is based on “An Echo in the Bone.” Moreover, the network confirmed that the new episodes are set to premiere in the summer of 2023, maybe around May or July, in the same time slot of 9 p.m. ET, which will be published in the coming months.
We would like to emphasize that at this time, this is just a rumor, and the network will clarify it in the upcoming months.
Given all these aspects of the show’s current state, the filming of Outlander Season 8 appears to be far off. According to what we’ve been speculating, the cast and crew will definitely take a break after the hectic schedule for filming the seventh season for the whole year, which will lead to the production of the final season commencing sometime later this year or maybe once the new season starts airing the episodes.a
