Outlander: Season 7 part 2 teaser for STARZ drama<\/h3>\n

Sam Heughan has shared his feelings about Outlander’s final season as the long-running show comes to an end in 2024. The 43-year-old has been playing the lead role of Jamie Fraser for nearly a decade but the time has nearly come to say goodbye to the show for good.<\/p>\n

While appearing on The Graham Norton Radio Show with Waitrose, the actor expressed: “The final season, we have been working on the show now for eight seasons, and this will be the eighth one.<\/p>\n

“So it’s a decade, 10 years! Ten years in the ginger wig, and it’s been incredible. It’s changed my life, honestly. It’s been such an amazing journey, a great character and it’s going to be bittersweet.” The Hollywood star went on to say that he didn’t think the show would last as long as it has and is sad about it coming to an end.<\/p>\n

“I mean, it really is bittersweet. I’ve been in fittings already and I realised this is the last time I will be having my fittings ever on the show. I started getting quite emotional about it,” Sam admitted.<\/p>\n

The historical drama series premiered in 2014 on Starz and is based on the Outlander novel series by Diana Gabaldon. The show has been on for seven series so far, with the eighth and final season expected to be released in 2024.<\/p>\n
