Comic-Con Sneak Peek Teases Jamie Fraser's Fate in Final Season of 'Outlander'
Comic-Con Sneak Peek Teases Jamie Fraser's Fate in Final Season of 'Outlander' originally appeared on Parade. The stars of Outlander were at Comic Con San Diego on Friday, July 25, and they were ready to open up about filming the final season of the popular series based on the books written by Diana Gabaldon. Outlander stars Sam Heughan (Jamie Fraser), Sophie Skelton (Brianna Fraser), Richard Rankin (Roger MacKenzie), and executive producers Maril Davis and Matthew B. Roberts all sat on the series panel on Friday morning to dish about what viewers can expect in the new season. Caitríona Balfe (Claire Fraser) was unable to make it due to work on another project, but did send in a video message wishing attendees well and expressing her regret that she couldn't attend in person. Heughan did open up about what it was like filming the final season, which has already wrapped filming. He shared, "It was a very, very hard season to shoot. I think there were so many emotions going around. And I think day to day, you'd be like, 'Oh, this is just another day at work. We've been doing doing this 11 years.' But then other days, you'd be like, 'This is the last time I'm gonna work with this person or put on this costume or whatever.' So it made the last season very charged, I think, and a lot of scenes are very charged, but that all adds to this very dramatic storyline anyway. So it's more Outlander, just a mega XL version." The show-runners also shared a video at Comic Con that consisted of a compilation of the first seven seasons, with a never-before-seen sneak peek at the eighth and final season: In the clip, Jamie can be seen reading a book that was written by Claire's first husband Frank (an historian in the future). She asks Jaime, "What does it say?" He ominously replies, "War is coming to the back country ... and that James Fraser dies in it." 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Fans aren't too concerned yet though — Jamie has already "died" at least twice, and been near death too many times to count. Regardless, our time with Jamie, Claire, and all the inhabitants of Fraser Ridge are coming to a close in early 2026. As sad as we are that the series is drawing to a close, we can't wait to see what happens. Comic-Con Sneak Peek Teases Jamie Fraser's Fate in Final Season of 'Outlander' first appeared on Parade on Jul 25, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 25, 2025, where it first appeared.

Highlights SDCC 2025 blessed us with the Season 8 teaser trailer for Outlander , which you can watch below. Outlander Additionally, we have two sneak peek clips for Outlander: Blood of My Blood (also below for your viewing pleasure). Outlander: Blood of My Blood The prequel series' 10-episode inaugural season premieres next month, while Outlander 's eighth and final season will take STARZ by storm next year. The Outlander Small-Screen Universe (OSSU) The end of the dreadful Droughtlander is on the horizon. SDCC 2025 is the gift that keeps on giving, y'all. STARZ descended upon the con with not one , but two panels: one for its flagship series, Outlander, and one for its prequel, Outlander: Blood of My Blood . So, what goodies did said panels deliver to us mere fans? A Season 8 teaser trailer and two sneak peek clips. RELATED: New TV Shows This Week (July 20 – 26) It All Leads to This The teaser for the mega hit's eighth and (sob) final season kicks off with a trip down memory lane — a nostalgic flurry of scenes from the pilot until Season 7. We see Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire's (Caitríona Balfe) epic love story unfold in tandem with Brianna (Sophie Skelton) and Roger (Richard Rankin). We reunite with familiar faces long gone. The montage culminates in new footage in the teaser's final moments. Jamie tells Claire he's read Frank's book. It declares that 'war is coming to the back country,' and that 'James Fraser dies in it.' Oof. Well, this isn't the first time Jamie Fraser has evaded death. RELATED: Read our Outlander recaps Blood of My Blood in Two Timelines In the first clip for Blood of My Blood , Henry (Jeremy Irvine) and Julia (Hermione Corfield) Beauchamp, Claire's parents, drive through the Scottish Highlands. They chat about Claire staying with Uncle Lamb and visiting the British Museum while they're away. It's a short, sweet and simple clip. The second clip zeroes in on Jamie's parents, Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) and Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater). There's the requisite yearning while standing a respectable distance from each other. At least the nearby bridge can fill in for the role of chaperone. Here, Brian learns that Ellen is a MacKenzie, while Ellen discovers that her soon-to-be husband is a Fraser. Outlander: Blood of My Blood premieres with two episodes on Friday, August 8, at 9/8c, on STARZ and the STARZ app. Outlander Season 8 will debut sometime in early 2026.

Skelton posted several photographs from behind the scenes of working on the film Row, which won Best UK Feature at the Raindance Film Festival, detailing the extreme filming environments: "We filmed in the middle of nowhere on a cliff edge in an old, abandoned navy base. The weather was something else." Recalling the harrowing incident, she wrote: "After shutting down Day 1 of shooting due to a massive storm, my car aquaplaned and flipped on the way to work the next day." The brave star continued to work despite significant injuries, including: "After a fun night in the ol' hospital, I proceeded to film the next 5 weeks on the ocean with two broken ribs, a broken finger, and whiplash." Skelton extended heartfelt gratitude towards the emergency crews who came to their aid, stating: "Featuring pics from a day out surfing, the police officers and @ who helped Loks and me after the wreck, our epic cast and crew - who powered through 70+mph winds most days - and my bleached sea salt head of curls in full swing. @rowthefilm hits UK cinemas in August. Hope you enjoy the ride." Upon discovering her ordeal, fans swiftly took to the comment section to offer solace and good wishes, with user Brilliantly_balfe commenting: "OMG Sophie! So glad you're ok! You are a trooper! Looking forward to seeing you in the film!" Sophie's followers rallied around her, with saying: "Way to power through! Glad that you and Loki weren't hurt any worse, though it must have been scary. Looking forward to seeing this." Outlanderobsessed posted: "Good lord Sophie! ! Glad you're ok. Broken ribs are no fun.

Point. blank_1959 commented: "Jeez! You're scaring me. It WAS bad luck, something good must be ahead for you." Sophie maintained a sense of humour about the filming experience, joking: "TMI alert: yes, the 4 of us did wee in a bucket on the back of the boat for the duration. Rock on."

Outlander star Sophie Skelton's stunning London apartment that comes complete with adorable pooch
Sophie Skelton plays Brianna MacKenzie in the hit Starz show Outlander fans are still patiently waiting for the eighth and final series to hit our screens even though the filming for it has concluded. Cast members of the show are enjoying time at home after filming for its eighth series wrapped. One cast member who is enjoying some downtime is Sophie Skelton, who plays Brianna MacKenzie - the daughter of Jamie and Claire Fraser in the show. Even though she plays an American/Scottish character, Sophie, was born in Woodford, England. She was a child actress, first appearing in a couple of episodes of ITV drama DCI Banks in 2012 when she was about 18. It was then the following year that she played a character called Esme in the Tracy Beaker spin-off series The Dumping Ground and then Waterloo Road as Eve Boston. Some of her other roles included Doctors, Foyle's War, So Awkward, Casualty and Ren, before joining the cast of Outlander in 2016 as Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire Fraser's (Caitriona Balfe) daughter Brianna Fraser. While the end is now in sight for Outlander, the actress already has another project lined up in the shape of a psychological thriller. Entitled Row is a film about a 'failed trans-Atlantic WR attempt', when a woman washes ashore on a rowing boat and all of her crew mates are missing and presumed dead. It is then up to her to try and piece together her 'fractured memories of the ordeal to prove her innocence'. Outlander has taken Sophie all over the world but London is where she calls home. Let's take a look inside Sophie's cosy apartment... High ceilings Living room Dressing room
