With season 7B set to hit screens later this year, fans are already looking ahead to the 8th and final season which will see the show wrap up for good

Outlander fans have rejoiced after it was announced that two former stars are returning for the final season. The show’s Marsali and Fergus Fraser are set to return for the grand finale.

Fans of Outlander are celebrating as Lauren Lyle, who plays Marsali Fraser, announced her comeback after a three-year break. The series will see both Marsali and Jamie Fraser’s (Sam Heughan) adopted son, Fergus (Cesar Domboy), returning.

Fergus, a French immigrant who was raised in a brothel and never knew his biological parents, first appeared in the second season. He was taken under the wing of Jamie and Claire (Caitriona Balfe) in 1744.

In the third season, he fell head over heels for Marsali and they eventually tied the knot.

However, they relocated and haven’t been seen on the show since the sixth season. Actress Lauren recently updated fans with an Instagram post, confirming her character’s return.

Sharing a picture of herself in costume, she penned: “Today was my last ever day on @outlander_starz. It had been 3 years since I last shot on the show when they asked me back for a turn on this final season.”

“It’s now been eight years since I got cast… I really don’t know what to say. My life has changed on this show. Truly different lives lived.”

She continued: “I’m so grateful for Marsali Fraser and all that came with her. For all your support and stories. See how I played the devil’s child that turned good? Very mindful, very demure.”

In April 2024, the Outlander Instagram account shared a behind-the-scenes video from the eighth season, featuring Cesar and Lauren in their costumes.

Sam quipped: “I thought we got rid of you,” and Cesar chimed in with: “Touched stones and now we’re back.”

After Lauren shared an update on Instagram, eager fans flocked to the comments to share their anticipation for the show’s comeback.

Musicalgeek_90 wrote: “Oh god I’m not ready for all the last day posts that are sure to be coming. Thank you so much for making Marsali such a beloved badass character (her resilience and sass are just great!)”.

“I hope you know how much this show means to so many fans and thank you for being a part of it!”.

Samkraupner commented: “Love you, Lauren! You did such an excellent job with Marsali and it’s wonderful to see you succeed in other roles too! I can’t wait to see next season of Karen Pirie!”.
