‘Outlander’: 9 Biggest Takeaways From the Final Season 8 Trailer
Outlander‘s final Season 8 trailer has finally arrived, and it’s packing quite an emotional punch as the Frasers reunite and face their future together in Revolutionary America.
As fans know by now, Season 8 of the epic time-traversing romantic drama will kick off on Friday, March 6, on Starz. The trailer offers a glimpse behind the curtain as Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe) find war has followed them home to Fraser’s Ridge, which has turned into a thriving settlement in their absence.
While new arrivals change their community’s dynamic, the Frasers are forced to question what sacrifices they’re willing to make for the place they call home and what they’d sacrifice to stay together. These moments and more are teased in the heart-pounding final season trailer, as well as the returns of other key cast members, including 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, César Domboy as Fergus Fraser, and Lauren Lyle as Marsali Fraser.
Starz

Scroll down as we delve into the key moments from the final trailer, and let us know what you’re looking forward to seeing in the comments section below.
Outlander, Season 8 Premiere, Friday, March 6, Starz
Frasers Reunited
Brianna will reunite with her family as she’s seen alongside Claire and Fanny (Florrie May Wilkinson). As fans will recall, Brianna was further back in time when she traveled to find her husband Roger at the end of Season 7. This confirms she’ll be reunited with her parents, seemingly at Fraser’s Ridge.
Frank's Book
Upon Brianna’s return, she gifts Jamie a book written by Frank (Tobias Menzies), which hints at potentially deadly twists to come.
Claire & Jamie's United Front
Claire and Jamie will stand together to defend their home, despite warnings in Frank’s book that Jamie will allegedly die in a place called King’s Mountain.
William on the Battlefield
William is getting back on the battlefield after previously stepping away from his post at the end of Season 7.
Lord John Grey's Return
Lord John Grey is also back to his usual eye-patch-less form, donning his red coat once more. Will he be able to protect those he cares about with war encroaching?
Fergus Caught in Fire
Fire appears to break out where Fergus lives as he’s seen rushing towards his children on what seems to be a roof.
Marsali Bereft
If that fire is the same one depicted in Diana Gabaldon’s book upon which Season 8 is based, then it could explain why Marsali is crying in Brianna’s arms here.
Newlyweds Ian & Rachel
Ian and Rachel embark on their journey as newlyweds in the latest look at Season 8.
Roger in the Crossfire
Roger is getting involved on the war front as he’s seen tending to a young man caught in crossfire.
