Outlander Season 8 and Blood of my Blood Sneaks From SDCC
STARZ announced today, out of Hall H at the San Diego Comic-Con, that the eighth and final season of the time-traveling, epic romance Outlander will premiere in early 2026.
Fans at Comic-Con watched the first teaser trailer for the upcoming eighth season that portrays Claire and Jamie’s epic romance spanning through decades and teases what’s to come. Fresh off a shocking cliffhanger, the new teaser hints at the possible fate of Jamie Fraser.
Following the Outlander panel, cast and executive producers from the prequel series Outlander: Blood of my Blood took the stage, where showrunner and executive producer Matthew B. Roberts announced that the series will now air the first two episodes on its Friday, August 8th premiere date.
During the panel, cast and creatives also detailed what viewers can expect from the sweeping romantic saga and revealed the first two clips released from the series, one featuring Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) and Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater), the parents of Jamie Fraser from Outlander; and the other featuring Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine), the parents of Claire Randall from Outlander.
In between the Outlander and Outlander: Blood of my Blood panels, Raya Yarbrough, who sang The Skye Boat Song for Outlander‘s theme for the first six seasons, performed her iconic version live to Hall H, and led a sing-a-long with fans, which then transitioned into a concert of bagpipers who played Scotland the Brave to transport the audience back to Scotland before the Outlander: Blood of my Blood cast and creative team took the stage.
