From 2014 to 2025, see how the beloved characters have evolved in stunning new portraits
There’s something to be said about a series that premiered over a decade ago and still maintains a fanbase that’s just as loyal as they were when the first episode hit screens—and it’s safe to say Outlander has done something right for the love to last this long. Recently, Starz shared that Outlander’s eighth and final season is premiering on March 6, 2026, and since news broke, fans have been waiting around for the next look at what’s to come.
Earlier this year, a teaser got our hearts racing, and prior to that, another sneak peek gave us something to look forward to. Today, however, fans are thrilled at the latest preview for Outlander season 8, as the character portraits for the final season have been revealed. Of course, the photos are pure magic, but what makes them even more special is thinking back to the way these familiar faces have changed over the years. From Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan to Sophie Skelton and Richard Rankin, take a look at the latest portraits for season 8 and how they compare to the first time we saw these characters grace our screen.
