Who is Claire’s Brother in ‘Outlander: Blood of My Blood’? “Heads Might Explode,” Showrunner Matthew B. Roberts Teases For over a decade, Starz‘s Outlander has provided audiences with the perfect escape from everyday life. The genre-bending epic follows a spirited 20th century woman named Claire Beauchamp Randall (Caitriona Balfe) who finds herself inexplicably sent back in time to 18th century Scotland. There, she encounters other time travelers, magical mysteries, and the love of her life, highlander James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser (Sam Heughan). Jamie and Claire’s love story is one that defies all odds, existing across continents and centuries. And it’s all about to come to an end.

We don’t know how Outlander ends. In fact, very few people apart from showrunner Matthew B. Roberts and creator Maril Davis even know which of the many endings they shot made the final cut.
However, we do know that one of these endings hews close to Diana Gabaldon’s planned ending for the book series.
When DECIDER visited the set of Outlander Season 8 in 2024, Sam Heughan shared that not only had Diana shared her ending with him, but that he was pulling for it to be the show’s ending.
“So I know Diana’s ending, obviously, and we won’t get all the books done, obviously. We’re on Season 8 and she’s still still writing,” Heughan told journalists in 2024.
“Who knows what the actual ending will be? I don’t know specifically. We’re going to shoot various endings, but I don’t know which one they will use,” he said. “But I think one of the ideas, one I’ve been asking for pushing for, is very similar to like how Diana’s book will end.”
Here’s hoping that Starz’s version ends like Diana’s…
Outlander Season 8 Episode 1 will be streaming on Starz on Friday, March 6
