They say you can't go home again and that might prove true for Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe).

On Thursday, Starz released the first teaser trailer *Outlander *season 8, which will be the final season of the hit drama based on Diana Gabaldon's book series.

The trailer showcases clips from the previous seven seasons, highlighting the epic love story between Claire and Jamie, accompanied by Jamie's voiceover.

"I remember when I saw you for the first time," he tells her. "I remember every moment, every second. I'll never forget."

Season 8 finds Claire and Jamie returning to Fraser's Ridge and the community they've built there after the couple journeyed to Scotland, Philadelphia, and more. But going home won't mean peace and quiet if the teaser is any indication.

"With everything that's about to come," Claire says, "I'm so scared to lose everything."

The trailer showcases clips of Brianna (Sophie Skelton) running to embrace Roger (Richard Rankin) at what appears to be an army camp, Revolutionary War battles, and a tearful Rachel (Izzy Meikle-Small) finding comfort in Ian (John Bell). We also see Bree and Roger gasping at a building going up in flames, as well as Claire looking shocked as a male voice addresses her as Mrs. Fraser. "Is it possible?" she asks.

Though we don't see who Claire is looking at, it's likely someone connected to the mystery of Fanny singing "I Do Like to Be Beside the Seaside" and lost baby Faith. (A mystery only deepened by the fact that Claire's mother, Julia, sings the same song to her newborn son on *Outlander: Blood of My Blood*).

The final season does not yet have a release date, but it's slated to premiere in early 2026, which was first announced at San Diego Comic-Con over the summer. The *Outlander *panel also debuted the first footage of season 8, in which Jamie ominously reads from one of Frank Randall's books about war coming "to the back country" and James Fraser dying in it.

"One thing that is beautiful about this season is that we've surpassed the books at this point," Skelton said while speaking at the panel. "The writers have done such an incredible job of keeping that nostalgia, but just injecting some stuff that you don't expect. So the main thing is you've got to be prepared to be unprepared."
