It's truly a challenge to come to terms with the ending of Outlander. As a dedicated fan who has followed this show since my early days as a TV Editor at CinemaBlend, it has been a constant presence on my television. With Outlander Season 7 Part 2 now on the 2024 TV schedule, there are still several episodes left before the grand finale in Season 8. As we draw closer to the inevitable conclusion, the cast of this long-running Starz drama is more than willing to discuss a particular spinoff rumor that has been circulating.

Unraveling the Outlander Legacy and the Spinoff Dream

Outlander's Enduring Appeal

Outlander has captured the hearts of fans worldwide with its captivating storylines and rich characters. It has become a cultural phenomenon, with viewers eagerly awaiting each new season. The show's ability to transport viewers to a different time and place is truly remarkable. From the lush landscapes of Scotland to the passionate love stories between Claire and Jamie, Outlander has left an indelible mark on television.Even after all these years, the show continues to attract a loyal fan base. Its themes of love, loss, and adventure resonate with audiences on a deep level. As we near the end of the series, it's clear that Outlander will leave a lasting legacy in the world of television.

The Lord John Spinoff Rumor

For years, fans have been dreaming of a spinoff series centered around fan-favorite character Lord John. Even during the challenging times of Covid, showrunner Matthew B. Roberts hinted at the possibility of a spinoff. Now, David Berry, who portrays Lord John on the small screen, has weighed in on the potential for more from this dashing young LGBTQ+ character.In an interview with TV Insider, Berry expressed his eagerness for a Lord John series. He believes there is more story to tell and that the character has extra dimensions that could be explored in a spinoff. Seeing Lord John as his own agent and man in Season 7B has given audiences a taste of what a spinoff could bring. If the network were to approach him with an offer, Berry would be on board in a heartbeat.

The Outlander Universe Expansion

While we await the end of Claire and Jamie's love story, the Outlander universe is expanding rather than shrinking. The Outlander: Blood of my Blood prequel is set to follow Jamie and Claire's parents as they embark on their own epic love stories. Roberts will be returning as showrunner, and Diana Gabaldon will serve as a consulting producer on this upcoming project.The existence of the prequel shows that there is still a lot of story to tell within the Outlander universe. It's exciting to think about the new adventures and characters that will be introduced in this spin-off. However, the question remains: why did Blood Of My Blood get off the ground before a John Grey series? The network has not provided an answer, but it's possible that the prequel will have a different tone and feel than a Lord John Grey prequel.Some of the Lord Grey novellas also feature Jamie Frasier, and there is uncertainty about how Sam Heughan would feel about returning to the franchise so soon after wrapping up his own long-running show. Nevertheless, a Lord Grey series is a great idea that has the potential to be even better than the prequel.

The End of an Era

Season 7 Part 2 of Outlander is now available, and Heughan and the rest of the cast have confirmed that filming has wrapped. The end is near, and while it's sad to see the show come to an end, it's also exciting to think about the future. Starz has already planned for more stories to be told, and we can only hope that a Lord Grey season will be added to the mix.Outlander has been a part of our lives for many years, and its impact will be felt for generations to come. As we bid farewell to this beloved series, we look forward to seeing what the future holds for the Outlander universe.
