After ten years on air, the final season of Outlander is nearly upon us.
The historical drama starring Sam Heughan and our very own Caitriona Balfe has had a brilliant run but the next season will be its last.
The group are in the middle of filming at the moment, and it’s an emotional time for the cast and crew.
Speaking to VIP Magazine on the IFTA red carpet, Caitriona said, “It’s a strange thing to be at the end, but still have five months to go with filming.
“We had our first read through about a month ago. We all got a bit choked up because we’ve been together for over ten years and for better or worse, we’re totally a family. We’ve all grown up together on that show. We’ll be so sad to say goodbye to it.”
And while we’re all desperate to know how the show will wrap up, Caitriona admits the details are being kept under lock and key, even from those on set.
“I don’t even know what’s happening in the end, they’re keeping it very top secret,” she said.
“What we do know though is that you can never please everybody but we all just hope that they [the writers] make what they believe is the best version and we have to hope people aren’t too upset.
“But they’re going to get a prequel so the audience will forget about us very quickly,” she adds.
Filming is due to wrap by the end of summer, and Caitriona already knows how she’ll be spending her downtime: “There’s going to be a holiday for sure! I’ll be straight on a plane to somewhere with a beach with a drink in my hand.” Rightly so!
