\n\tIn this final season, the war follows Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitr\u00edona Balfe) to Fraser\u2019s Ridge. There, the married couple finds that a whole lot has changed since they last called the North Carolina spot home.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWith new arrivals and changes made during their years away, the Frasers are confronted with the question of what they are willing to sacrifice for the place they call home and, more importantly, what they would sacrifice to stay together,\u201d the official season eight synopsis reads. \u201cWhile the Frasers keep a united front against outside intruders, family secrets finally coming to light threaten to tear them apart from the inside. Although they\u2019ve left the war for America\u2019s freedom behind, their fight for Fraser\u2019s Ridge has only just begun.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to its beloved leads, Outlander stars Sophie Skelton as Brianna, Richard Rankin as Roger, John Bell as young Ian Murray, David Berry as Lord John Grey, Charles Vandervaart as William Ransom and Izzy Meikle-Small as Rachel Murray.<\/p>\n

Outlander is based on Diana Gabaldon\u2019s best-selling book series, which have sold an estimated 50 million copies worldwide. Each of her eight books have been adapted into a season of TV.<\/p>\n

\n\tThough Outlander will soon end, its universe will not. In August, prequel series Outlander: Blood of My Blood premiered to strong reviews<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Hollywood Reporter\u2018s Angie Han called Blood of My Blood \u201crichly imagined, audaciously epic and, above all, unabashedly and deliriously romantic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt casts a spell that lingers long after the credits have rolled,\u201d Han wrote.<\/p>\n
