Diana Gabaldon Already Created Perfect Outlander Ending – Even If the Books Aren't Finished Yet

With the final eighth season of Outlander still in the works, many fans are worried that the show will repeat Game of Thrones' major mistake and ruin the ending of Claire and Jamie Fraser's story, as the book it is supposed to be based on hasn't yet been finished.

The Starz flagship show is based on Diana Gabaldon's series of romantic novels, which currently consists of nine books, with the tenth being written by the author as you read this. Moreover, Gabaldon has mentioned that the series may continue beyond Book 10.

Of course, this raises a lot of questions. How is Outlander going to get around the fact that Gabaldon isn't finished with the story of the Frasers yet? Will the creators take her clues or make the ending their own? Won't that ruin Outlander?

These questions are indeed crucial to the series because we all know how a great show can go downhill when it's deprived of source material (a dig at Game of Thrones, of course). However, Outlander fans have already answered them and offered the Starz creators a solution that might just work for everyone.

'TBH, I'd love it if they ended the show as [Diana Gabaldon] ended Written in My Own Heart's Blood,' a fan pitched on Reddit.

The ending of the eighth novel in the series is truly a dream. After a fair share of death scares for both Jamie and Claire, the protagonists return to Fraser's Ridge and begin to plan out their new Big House. One day, they catch sight of something in the distance. It turns out to be the entire MacKenzie family, who have unexpectedly arrived at Fraser's Ridge.

'Hello the house!' Roger exclaims. And after these symbolic words, Claire runs down the hill to greet her daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren.

Many feel that this heartfelt Fraser and MacKenzie reunion would be the perfect ending to Outlander.

'That was such a satisfying ending. I screamed when I read that! I hope they end the series there,' another Redditor commented.

Can you really argue with that?
