Outlander star Sam Heughan has admitted that the cast were 'ready to move on' from the hit time-travel television series.

Gracing San Diego Comic Con on Saturday, July 26, the Scottish actor offered fans a glimpse into the final chapter of the beloved series and the forthcoming prequel, Outlander: Blood of My Blood, which will introduce fresh faces.

The successful Highland saga "Outlander" is coming to an end with season eight. The final episodes were already filmed in September 2024.

So much so that it turns out Roy originally auditioned for the flagship series, only for producers to decide they needed to save him for Blood of my Blood, on which Roy now portrays Brian Fraser, the father of Heughan's Jamie.
