More than a decade since it first began, one of the steamiest and most violent shows in history is all set to return for its eighth and final season, with a new teaser hinting at what\u2019s to come. The hit historical fantasy series Outlander<\/a>, which stars Caitriona Balfe as a former World War II military nurse in Scotland who suddenly finds herself transported back in time to 1743, is streaming on STARZ, with the studio releasing a surprise teaser for the final season as part of its \u201c12 Days of Outlander\u201d event. <\/p>\n

Outlander Season 8 will once again be led by Caitr\u00edona Balfe as time-traveling WWII nurse Claire Fraser and Sam Heughan as the Highlander warrior James “Jamie” Fraser. “Watch a new teaser for the final season of Outlander and don\u2019t miss the premiere March 6<\/a>. Catch up on Seasons 1-7 on STARZ,” a caption alongside the new teaser (which you can check out below!) reads, with the footage teasing what will befall Claire and Jamie in this final chapter of a love story across time that’s beset with tragedy and violence. <\/p>\n

Based on the book series by Diana Gabaldon, Outlander has been met with critical acclaim throughout its run, as well as acquiring a dedicated fanbase. While fans will be sad to see the main series end, this is not the end of the Outlander franchise or the success its found. This year\u2019s prequel series, <\/a>Outlander: Blood of My Blood<\/a>, has already been renewed for a second season, and follows the parents of Jamie Fraser and Claire Beauchamp, with the prequel series being met with similar acclaim to its predecessor. <\/p>\n

The Fight for Fraser’s Ridge Has Only Just Begun…<\/p>\n

Outlander Season 7 ended with Jamie\u2019s fateful decision<\/a> to resign his Continental Army commission and return to Fraser\u2019s Ridge with Claire. Meanwhile, after an emotional family reunion, the MacKenzies needed to decide where and when to settle next, and a haunting cliffhanger left fans questioning the true fate of Claire and Jamie\u2019s first daughter, Faith. <\/p>\n

As Season 8 begins<\/a>, Jamie and Claire soon find the war has followed them home to Fraser\u2019s Ridge, now a thriving settlement that has grown and flourished in their absence. With 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. While 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. <\/p>\n

Outlander stars Caitriona Balfe as Claire Fraser, Sam Heughan<\/a> as Jamie Fraser, Sophie Skelton as Brianna MacKenzie, Richard Rankin as Roger MacKenzie, John Bell as Young Ian Murray, David Berry as Lord John Grey, Charles Vandervaart as William Ransom, Izzy Meikle-Small as Rachel Murray, Lauren Lyle as Marsali Fraser and C\u00e9sar Domboy as Fergus Fraser. <\/p>\n
