NEW YORK, May 16 (UPI) -- The Outlander family says filming the time-travel romance's eighth and last season was an emotional experience, but, ultimately, they are proud of what they accomplished throughout this extraordinary journey.
Based on the best-selling fantasy novels by Diana Gabaldon, the show's finale aired Friday on Starz and revealed the fates of British World War II nurse Claire (Caitriona Balfe), her 18th-century, Scottish husband Jamie (Sam Heughan) and the family they lived with in their adopted home of the American colonies in the late 1700s.
"It's a victory lap, 100%. It's been a year-and-a-half since we wrapped, so, there's been plenty of time to reminisce and process. What are the five stages [of grief] again? We're fully at acceptance now," John Bell, who plays Jamie's nephew Ian, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview.
"I feel very satisfied with my ending. It's hard to sum up 10 years of this character development," Bell said.
"It's been one of the most dramatic shifts, I think, of any of the characters, certainly, from the young, slightly naive, joyful, little guy that popped his head in that window one day and then to this warrior father. Yes, it's been crazy and such a blessing, I would say, of a character."
