Bits aboutOutlanderSeason 8, the show’s final season, have begun to trickle in. According to Outlander’s Executive ProducerMaril Davis,production is set to resumeas soon as one minor issue resolves itself. Filming in Scotland has a lot of perks for the show, including beautiful sceneries that lend authenticity to it, but it’s not all flowers and sunshine. And in this case, production could use some sunshine. The officialOutlanderInstagram account shared two images, one featuringOutlanderstarCatriona Balfeand Davis, while the other has Balfe’s costarSam Heughan. The post is captioned “Soaking in the moments before filming begins on #Outlander Season 8… no matter the weather!” Davis reposted the caption to her Instagram Stories with the caption “Rain rain go away… Season 8 (filming) is on its way.”
In the first image featuring Balfe and Davis huddled together, one can see the dark rain-bearing clouds in the skies of Scotland. The changing weather seems to be the greatest problem that keeps interrupting the production. The second image shows Heughan flashing a peace sign at the camera. From his attire, he seems to be resting after a workout session because keeping the Jamie Fraser body is no easy task.
