Outlander’s production has officially come to an end for the show’s final season and fans are struggling to cope. Millions of viewers are currently waiting for the epic drama to return for the second half of season seven, picking up as Claire (played by Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) finally make it back to Scotland. Meanwhile, the cast and crew have been deep into production in Scotland for the eighth and final season which will bring Starz’ hit drama to a close.

Based on the bestselling novels by Diana Gabaldon, the final instalment is expected to have fans reaching for the tissues when the Fraser clan says farewell. The show’s official Instagram account has now confirmed that all episodes of the last ever season have been filmed. “Today marks the final day of filming on the final season of #Outlander,” the caption on Friday’s post reads.

“Words cannot express the gratitude owed to each and every hard-working cast and crew member who brought this incredible series to life and every single fan who supports it with passion, creativity, and dedication. “Outlander really is more than just a show, it’s a family, and while filming might be ending, there’s so much more to this journey that’s just beginning.” Even with an extra half a season to go before the final season airs, fans were left devastated as they realised just how close they were to Outlander coming to an end.
