The eighth season of Starz’s popular historical fantasy series Outlander is set to reveal its final secrets next month when it bids farewell to its fans after 12 years on the network. But if anyone is waiting for spoilers to emerge before the season 8 premiere on March 6, they can forget about it – not even stars Sam Heughan and Caitríona Balfe know how Outlander ends.
Executive producer Matthew B. Roberts told Entertainment Weekly that he wrote and shot multiple season 8 endings to prevent spoilers from leaking, which is understandable given there are a few major mysteries left to solve before the long-running series concludes. One of them even goes all the way back to the first season!
Yep, fans are still hoping that season 8 will finally solve the appearance of Jamie’s ghost in the very first episode of Outlander, when Frank Randall seemed to spot the Highlander gazing up at Claire’s window in 1945 Inverness. What was he doing there? Was he real or an apparition? The author of the Outlander book series has confirmed that it was indeed the ghost of Jamie we saw, but since the TV adaptation is wrapping up before the final book is released, there’s a chance that the people behind the show could make different decisions.
“What we tried to do is answer as many questions as we could authentically,” Roberts said coyly. “There’s so many great storylines that get tied up — whether it’s in a tight bow or a very loose bow, that’s for the fans to judge.”
