The end of Outlander may be near, but season 7 has cracked open the door for new stories waiting to be told. With season 8 marking the final chapter for Jamie and Claire, fans are dreading the inevitable goodbye.
But don’t worry – Starz is already gearing up for Outlander: Blood of My Blood, and season 7 has laid the groundwork for even more thrilling spinoffs. So, what stories could keep this beloved saga alive?
1Could Claire’s Daughter, Faith, Have Time-Traveled?
Season 7 ended with Claire hearing little Fanny Pocock sing I Do Like to Be Beside the Seaside – a song from the 20th century. The girl claimed she learned it from her mother, Faith.
The same Faith Claire believed was stillborn. This jaw-dropping moment left fans wondering: could Faith have survived through time travel? And if so, where has she been all this time?
A potential Outlander spinoff could dive into Faith’s mysterious journey. If she did time-travel, how did she end up in the 20th century, and what has she been through? (Because that’s a story that’s gonna garner some off-the-charts views).
Since she’s no longer alive in season 7, a prequel series could unravel her fate, perhaps revealing another hidden community of time travelers. Claire may never learn the full truth in season 8, but Faith’s story could shine in a series of its own.
2Will Lord John Grey Finally Get His Own Show?
Outlander fans have been begging for a Lord John Grey spinoff, and season 7 proved why he deserves one. He’s always been a key figure in Jamie’s life, but this season threw him into the heart of the action.
From his dramatic escape to saving William, Lord John showed he’s more than just a loyalist – he’s a hero in his own right. Diana Gabaldon has already written several Lord John novellas, meaning Starz has plenty of material to work with.
A full-fledged series could explore his past, his complicated relationships, and his personal struggles as a gay man in the 18th century. With his charm, bravery, and layered backstory, a Lord John Grey series seems like a no-brainer.
3Could Master Raymond’s Story Unravel Time Travel’s Origins?
One of the most enigmatic figures in Outlander is Master Raymond, and season 7 made it clear that his connection to Claire runs deep. But what if his story goes even further? According to Gabaldon’s books, Master Raymond is our old guy, a prehistoric time traveler from 500 BC – possibly the first of his kind.
A Master Raymond series could offer a mix of prequel and sequel, diving into his origins and his influence on time travel. If he truly is the ancestor of Claire and Geillis, how did his abilities pass down?
His knowledge of healing, magic, and fate makes him one of the most intriguing characters in the franchise. A spinoff could unravel the secrets of time travel while giving fans an adventure spanning centuries. (Bro is so old he might be the inventor of “Abracadabra”)
4Could the Murray Family Lead Their Own Series?
Jamie’s best friend, Ian Murray, and his family have played a crucial role in Outlander. Season 7 introduced Michael Murray, who set off on his own journey to France with Laoghaire’s daughter, Jane.
This setup mirrors Gabaldon’s The Space Between, making it the perfect foundation for a spinoff. But why stop there? Ian Murray Sr. has his own fascinating backstory, and Young Ian – Jamie’s adventurous nephew – has already proven he could carry a series of his own. This dude deserves a story. And a crew. And a producer. (And some hairdo, please)
His time with the Mohawk, his survival skills, and his new life as a father all provide rich material for a standalone show. The Murray family’s saga could unfold in an anthology-style series, showcasing different members across generations.
5The Story of Roger’s Father, Jerry MacKenzie
Season 7 stunned fans with the revelation that Roger’s father, Jerry, had survived his supposed WWII death and ended up in the past. Though Roger helped him return to the 20th century, the show left his fate uncertain.
A Jerry MacKenzie series could tell his full story – his life before the war, his mysterious time-travel accident, and his final act of bravery, which had us wow-ing. In Gabaldon’s books, Jerry saves Roger’s life during the London Blitz, but Roger never realizes his father was his rescuer.
This heartbreaking story could make for a compelling miniseries, exploring fate, sacrifice, and the emotional weight of time travel.
6Will Jemmy & Mandy Take the Time Travel Legacy Forward?
Jemmy and Mandy aren’t just Brianna and Roger’s kids -they’re the most powerful time travelers Outlander has ever seen. Season 7 confirmed their extraordinary abilities, from Jemmy sensing hidden truths to Mandy guiding her mother through the stones.
But what does this mean for their future? An Outlander spinoff could follow an older Jemmy and Mandy as they unlock even more secrets of time travel. What if they discovered lost paths through history?
What if their abilities allowed them to control time in ways even Claire and Jamie couldn’t? A next-generation Outlander series would keep the adventure alive while introducing a fresh twist to the franchise.
7Could Geillis Duncan’s Full Story Finally Be Told?
Geillis Duncan has always been one of Outlander’s most intriguing characters. A friend turned villain, she had a singular goal – putting a Scot on the throne by fulfilling a mysterious prophecy.
But her appearance in season 7 hinted that her story isn’t over yet. A Geillis Duncan spinoff could explore her journey before Claire met her and what truly drove her obsession with time travel and Scottish independence.
Did she have knowledge of other prophecies? Were there more time travelers who shared her vision? Her dangerous ambition and ruthless cunning would make for a thrilling standalone series, giving fans the dark, complex Outlander tale they never knew they needed. Here’s for a spin-off full of mystery!
Is This the End for Outlander?
While Jamie and Claire’s journey may be wrapping up, Outlander season 7 has planted the seeds for a much larger universe.
Whether it’s lost daughters, time-traveling ancestors, or heroic side characters stepping into the spotlight, the franchise has countless stories left to tell. With Outlander: Blood of My Blood already in the works, it’s clear that Starz isn’t done with this world just yet.
So, which spinoff will come next? Only time (and perhaps the stones) will tell.
But before you hop off and watch these upcoming masterpieces, here’s a little hit you’d love to read:
