As so many people out there may be aware, Outlander season 8 is going to be final one over on Starz. Does this mean emotional times are ahead?

Well, let’s just put it this way: It would honestly be shocking in the event the final season of the series was not emotional. There are a lot of loose ends that need to be tied up and even beyond that, the fact that the show is ending in general could generate a few tears. We are ready for a story that is going to be full of a number of pretty darn difficult moments, and we honestly just have to be prepared for them in general.

Now, why not hear from someone who has gone through the experience of shooting the series already? In a chat with Town & Country, here is what Sophie Skelton (Brianna) had to say about shooting the last batch of episodes:

“The final season is going to blow people’s minds a little bit … The fans have been put through the wringer coming into the second half of this season—we’ve really played with the emotional heartstrings. But I feel like the end of the season is just a bit more of a nice sigh of relief, maybe a little bit more peaceful. But then season 8 we’re just going to mess you up again emotionally. I think it’s a really big and a really magnificent season. I’m excited for the fans to get to see it.”

Now, we do tend to think the season 7 finale will set the stage for it somehow — even though this was originally thought to be the final season, we do tend to think that the producers have arranged things now in a way where there is something more to be excited about.
