Outlander
Outlanderseason 8 would have been the perfect chance for a particular histrion to return to the series , but it does n’t look like this is go to happen . The approaching episodes will intend the end ofOutlander , as time of year 8 will twine up Jamie , Claire , and their family ’s stories . It ’s sure to be an exciting terminal adventure , and we have been promised answers to some of the serial ' keen overarching mystery . What ’s more , the concluding season of long - run series are often the unadulterated opportunity for some character cameo . Of of course , this would require histrion to be available to render .
Claire ’s account first kick off on the sieve inOutlanderback when time of year 1 premiere in 2014 . Since then , a great deal has interchange . slews of characters have derive in and out of Jamie and Claire ’s lives . There ’s room to trust that some will pass to make a final appearance inOutlanderseason 8 . Fergus and Marsali ( César Domboy and Lauren Lyle , respectively ) are bruit to be generate forOutlander ’s final episodes , which is fitting since they have a part to work allot to Diana Gabaldon ’s books . However , anotherOutlandercharacterwho technically should be involved is unbelievable to make an appearance .
Tobias Menzies Has Said He Won’t Return For Outlander’s Final Season
There’s Little Hope That We Will See Frank Or Black Jack Again
Actor Tobias Menzies was a key feature film of the first few season ofOutlander , since he played both Frank Randall and his eighteenth - C ancestor , Jonathan " Black Jack " Randall . However , both characters died several seasons ago , so Menzies has n’t been a regular cast member inOutlanderfor years . Still , given how significant Frank was to the start of Claire ’s story , it would make sense for Menzies to pass for a final appearing in season 8.TheOutlanderbooks have even provided the pure chance to convey him back through flashback scenes . However , Menzies maintain that he wo n’t return .
Prior to the release ofOutlanderseason 7 , Menzies stated that he had no architectural plan to return to any further episodes of the romantacy series . “It would be great . [ But ] no , you will not see me . “TheOutlanderbooks see Roger and Buck run into Black Jack Randall in the 18th century , and , indeed , Menzies did n’t return to bring the character for this story in time of year 7 . It seems the role player is n’t bluffing about having no cameo appearance in the remaining episode ofOutlander , but that is n’t to say Frank ’s involvement in the Frasers ' story must be ignore entirely .
Outlander Season 8 Can Still Include Frank’s Involvement In The Frasers' Story
Frank Has Influence From Beyond The Grave
Outlanderseason 8 will be largely ground on the bookGo Tell the bee That I ’m give out , which learn Jamie , Claire , Brianna , Roger , and the rest of their family resettle at Fraser ’s Ridge in North Carolina . In Gabaldon ’s version of events , Brianna brings a book from the future that details Scottish liaison in the Revolutionary War , save by none other than Frank Randall . Brianna ’s adoptive founder had mention Jamie Fraser by name in the al-Qur’an , noting that he had died during the Battle of King ’s Mountain . This seemingly connect to Frank ’s bank bill for Brianna , warn her of danger in the 20th 100 .
The come instalment can settle for simply mentioning Frank ’s contribution .
Frank ’s book was featured briefly inOutlanderseason 7 , hinting that it would be important in the come instalment . I had hoped that Menzies himself would return inOutlanderseason 8 so that this story could be done justice . The fact that Frank was looking out for Brianna from beyond the grave is meaningful , and the entropy he pass on her about her biological father was fundamentally a blessing . Itwould have been far more aroused if some flashback conniption inOutlanderseason 8 had give away all Frank had donefor Brianna . However , the coming episodes can settle for just refer Frank ’s contribution .
What Frank’s Story Could Mean For Claire & Brianna’s Outlander Ending
Frank Can Help Bring Their Stories Full Circle
Frank ’s mentioningJamie ’s demise in his book on the Revolutionary Warserves as a warning for Claire and Brianna in theOutlanderbooks . Jamie chooses to head off for the Battle of King ’s Mountain anyway , butClaire is ultimately able-bodied to hunt down her married man ’s consistence and save him . The fact that Frank made this possible brings Claire ’s story full circle , in a way of life , and this would be deeply meaningful inOutlanderseason 8 . thing were rough between Frank and Claire before his destruction , but the fact that he secretly know that Claire would return to the past and left her information about Jamie makes up for it .
Outlanderseason 8 is expected to premiere near the oddment of 2025 .
Similarly , Frank lead behind information about Jamie for Brianna to findwas his way of telling her it was okay to go bet for her biological male parent . Frank had probably surmise that his animation would come to a untimely end , and he take measures to insure that Claire and Brianna would notice their style through time to the other man who dearly jazz them . I would have love to see this all play out on screen inOutlanderseason 8 , and am disappoint that Menzies ca n’t retrovert to make that happen . However , I would settle for a sweet minute when Claire and Jamie realize what Frank did for them .
