Explore the latest developments concerning ‘Outlander’ Season 8,.
The end is nigh. Two long-running shows on my current rotation are heading toward their final two episodes. On Prime Video, The Boys will drop its penultimate episode next week. On Starz, the second-to-last episode of Outlander lands this week.
The adventures of Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe) draw to a close in just over a week’s time. I’m tempted to start from the beginning once it’s all over, but I think I’ll pick up the books by Diana Gabaldon instead. As much as I’ve enjoyed this epic TV series, it’s time to go back to the source.
This week’s pause in the schedule has given us a rare chance to sit with everything Outlander has set in motion in season 8 and to realize just how much still needs to be resolved. With only two episodes left, the series is staring down a long list of unfinished arcs. If it wants to avoid the “season 8 curse” (yes, Game of Thrones, we’re looking at you), it has serious narrative ground to cover.
Here are the storylines we’re hoping to see play out by the series finale.
At the core, only three major book plot lines remain: the Battle of King’s Mountain, Lord John’s abduction and subsequent rescue, and William’s evolving relationship with Jamie — the latter of which finally began to shift in Episode 8. But the show has added other major changes to the story that are now begging to be resolved.

The end is truly near for Outlander as the penultimate episode, “Pharos,” approaches, serving as the lead-in to Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie’s (Sam Heughan) send-off.
As viewers will recall, in the previous episode, “In the Forest,” the final moments revealed the kidnapping of Lord John Grey (David Berry), and as the upcoming installment’s logline teases, political threats come to a head when an old friend of Claire and Jamie’s goes missing. In other words, fans need to prepare for a rescue mission if the newly released images for the hour-long story are any indication.
The all-new photos tease some major team-ups, gun-wielding, and impending doom, with William (Charles Vandervaart) collaborating with Jamie and Claire to rescue his adoptive father, as Claire gets feisty with her weaponry. And as Benjamin Cleveland (Turlough Convery) converges on Fraser’s Ridge, the impending battle of King’s Mountain puts everyone on edge. Meanwhile, William also reunites with Amaranthus (Carla Woodcock) in the latest look at what’s to come.
