If the thought of Outlander’s final season makes you want to take to the bed and sing a song of a lass that is gone, have no fear. There’s still romance and drama to be found — and even a little time travel through the stones — with the premiere of Outlander: Blood of My Blood.

They come from different clans, different backgrounds, and a different set of expectations for the lives in front of them, but there is one thing that bonds Ellen MacKenzie ( Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser ( Jamie Roy ): daddy issues.

Hence, there is no concrete proof that Jamie Fraser will die in Outlander Season 8. The tense teaser clips, though they are dramatic, are meant to create speculations, not to deliver guarantees. There is nothing in the books to confirm the death hypothesis, nor do the showrunners or Starz release an official declaration confirming his demise.
