"Skelton, who's played Brianna McKenzie since Season 2, says she's avoided the urge to revisit earlier episodes, even as the character reaches her most complete form. 'I think I would not enjoy watching backwards,' she admits, before noting that the arc was always baked in. 'Season 8 is a place where I'm really proud of her. I feel like she's finally come into her own.'"
"Rankin echoes that long-game evolution with Roger, a character who's endured just about everything the show could throw at him. 'He's always been trying to find his place and where he belongs,' Rankin says. 'His thing was history, and then once he became part of history, things became a bit more challenging in terms of what his purpose was.'"
"'I didn't want to do 'a very special episode of Outlander,' Roberts says, referencing the kind of tonal left turns that can derail a finale. 'I just wanted to do a really good episode of Outlander.'"
"'With Outlander, what it's proven over the years is we never say never,' Roberts adds, hinting at the potential for future stories beyond the current narrative."
Outlander is approaching its potential final chapter after a decade of storytelling. Cast members reflect on character growth, particularly Brianna and Roger, as they navigate personal and historical challenges. The creative team aims to conclude the series without resorting to clichés, focusing on delivering a quality finale. Themes of legacy and continuation linger, suggesting that the story may not be entirely over. The series has evolved significantly, with characters finding their purpose amidst the backdrop of the American Revolution and family secrets.
