As a devoted Outlander enthusiast, I’ve embarked on quite the adventure with this captivating blend of romance and historical drama. It’s brought me bouts of laughter, tears, and moments of pure astonishment that I still find hard to fathom, given the myriad twists and turns that have befallen Claire, Jamie, and their extended circle. The announcement that Outlander Season 8 would mark the culmination of this extraordinary journey has been a bittersweet pill to swallow. But with Sam Heughan recently expressing such high praise for his co-star Caitríona Balfe, my excitement and emotions have been reignited once more.
What Did Outlander’s Sam Heughan Say About Caitríona Balfe Before Season 8 Airs?
Despite the fast-approaching conclusion of the 2025 TV lineup, the anticipated debut of Outlander Season 8 in 2026 still feels like a distant television premiere to me. Though we’re currently enduring a bit of a Droughtlander (though Outlander: Blood of My Blood is helping with its 18th-century time travel tale), I find myself gradually accepting the reality that a show I’ve cherished for more than a decade will soon cease to deliver fresh adventures.
In a recent chat with the New York Post, Sam Heughan unexpectedly stirred my feelings by fondly praising his co-star and friend, Caitríona Balfe. Discussing their roles as Jamie and Claire since Season 8 concluded filming about a year ago, the star of Men in Kilts shared:
Caitríona and I will always be connected in our lives, forming a strong bond of friendship that has endured an incredible journey together. It brings me immense joy to see her flourishing and staying committed to remarkable endeavors. Her success is truly something to celebrate!
Well then, that’s all folks! It’s tough to envision a universe devoid of their screen presence at least once every couple of years. Oh, Outlander fans! What are we going to do without them!?
Title sequence for Outlander is drawing near, yet not before Mindy Kaling publicly confessed her fervent admiration: ‘Who can craft such a realm with time travel?’
It’s quite clear that Balfe and Heughan developed a strong friendship due to their work together on the show. From him referring to her as his “work sibling” and best friend, to her playfully calling him her “work husband,” they seem to have a close bond. Even joking about him ignoring her calls, it’s evident that their friendship will likely endure beyond the show. *sigh* I hope so anyway…
It’s likely they’ll maintain some level of camaraderie with their followers, occasionally posting pictures of shared meals or other casual encounters on social media. Moreover, it was mentioned that they recently got together.
Last week, my friend and I enjoyed a meal in London. Typically, such gatherings might involve a couple of margaritas, but this time, we managed to keep it fairly tame. Regardless, it’s always fun spending time together. If we don’t touch base for a bit, rest assured we’ll reach out and catch up soon!
Oh, what a delight! They truly got me with that one. Here’s the deal, everyone. Frankly speaking, we should brace ourselves for a flood of emotions as the final season of Outlander unfolds. It promises to be an emotional rollercoaster, possibly leaving us in tears long after the end credits have rolled for the last time.
