News Outlander War Is Coming in the Trailer for the Final Season of Outlander But also books, and tiny little glasses By Molly Templeton | Published on January 29, 2026 Photo: Starz Comment 0 Share New Share Photo: Starz The seventh season of Outlander, as Reactor reviewer Natalie Zutter wrote, got “delightfully weird.” There was a very wild cliffhanger! About maybe-not-so-dead characters! Or, as the official mini-synopsis with this new season eight trailer so mildly puts it, “a haunting cliffhanger left fans questioning the true fate of Claire and Jamie’s first daughter, Faith.” That’s so vague. So very, very vague. The twist shocked even the actors, as they discussed in an interview that ran shortly after the season seven finale. “It’s a great cliffhanger — one that I think book and non-book fans are going to be surprised by,” said Sam Heughan (who plays Jamie Fraser). But what does it mean? You’ll have to watch and find out, one assumes. This trailer gets one of those awkward, goofy introductions where the stars present it to you, and then it’s all in on drama, including a prediction about Jamie Fraser’s possibly impending death. There is a lot of hugging and some very nervous children. Here’s the synopsis: Jamie and Claire soon find the war has followed them home to Fraser’s 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’ve left the war for America’s freedom behind, their fight for Fraser’s Ridge has only just begun. This last season also has a new title sequence, with a version of “The Skye Boat Song” performed by Annie Lennox. Outlander, which is based on the novels by Diana Gabaldon, stars Caitríona Balfe as Claire Fraser, Sam Heughan 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 César Domboy as Fergus Fraser. The final season premieres on Starz on March 6th, with subsequent episodes releasing weekly on Fridays.[end-mark] The post War Is Coming in the Trailer for the Final Season of <i>Outlander</i> appeared first on Reactor.
