dailyrecord.co.uk:

Outlander fans are waiting patiently for season 8 of the time-travelling drama to return in 2024. The last season of the historical fantasy series will wrap up for good next year, and fans have never been more keen to know just how the show will end.As viewers are aware, the series is based on Diana Gabaldon's acclaimed book series, but many are expecting a twist before the fate of Jamie and Claire is revealed.RadioTimes.com posed the question of how the series will wrap up to executive producer Maril Davis.

She revealed: “We’ve talked to Diana a bit. Once we figure out how the actual ending is going to be – which we don’t totally have yet – I think we’ll run it by her and make sure she’s OK with it." She continued: "I’ve asked her about things that we want to do to make sure she’s OK.

The last thing we want to do is step on Diana’s toes, she’s been so lovely and supportive of this series and so thrilled with how it’s gone.

We want to repay her and be respectful of her, do her books justice."But also, she’s always felt like the books are hers and the show is something different and I love that about her, she gives us that freedom also to take chances and risks and do things slightly differently."Davis concluded: "We will of course run things by her, it will have to be slightly different, obviously, because she’s ending it and she hasn’t figured that out yet - what that it is - and we’re going to have to end the TV show.
