Outlander To End With 10-Episode Final Season Premiering March 6, 2026

The adaptation concludes ahead of the novels’ completion, drawing chiefly from Diana Gabaldon’s ninth book.

Overview

  • Starz set the eighth and concluding season to debut on March 6, 2026, with a total of ten episodes.
  • The story returns to Fraser’s Ridge as the Revolutionary War reaches the characters’ doorstep, highlighting difficult choices for Claire and Jamie.
  • A first teaser accompanied the announcement, offering a glimpse of the tone and stakes without revealing plot details.
  • Showrunner Matthew B. Roberts said season 7 was once eyed as the end, but additional material—primarily from book nine with reported elements of book ten—led to this final run.
  • International availability is expected to roll out in staggered windows, with Germany likely seeing digital purchase shortly after the U.S. launch and a potential Netflix window in late 2026 or early 2027, and the prequel has already been renewed for a second season.
