Outlander star Lauren Lyle is “totally” up for reprising her role as Marsali MacKimmie Fraser in the Starz drama’s eighth and final season.
Marsali and Fergus (César Domby) were last seen in season six when they left Fraser’s Ridge in search of a better life for their children, and while they didn’t appear in the first half of season seven, and Lyle has confirmed to us that they won’t appear in part two either, she did say that she would “absolutely” return for season eight if she was asked to.
Speaking exclusively to to Digital Spy for the release of her new movie Mercy Falls, the actress continued: “I love Marsali. She was the character that changed my life.
“Onward, Outlander: The creative team behind a worldwide phenom winds down their flagship series – while prepping a prequel and more spinoffs – even as the literary source material continues to evolve.”

“I don’t know when her book’s coming out,” Maril told Parade. “I have to imagine it’s still at least a couple years away. Matt [showrunner Matthew B. Roberts] and I have talked about this a lot, and I think Matt feels this way and so do I, that we respect Diana enough to let her do what she wants to do. We don’t want to step on her books. It’s one thing if the books are out and we’re adapting her material. It’s another thing if we’re trying to do her ending before she’s had a chance to write it. Unless she wanted us to do that, and we could have that conversation.”

“We want to be respectful of her and we’re going to have to end the show a different way, I think,” Maril continues. “Still, it’s a lot of pressure. You want to make it satisfying. We want to be satisfied and we want the fans to be satisfied. We want to leave the show in a place that you’re feeling, ‘I’m sad but ‘Oh, my God, that was amazing.’”

“I don’t know yet,” admits Maril, who is one of the two people to whom Diana has revealed the end of the story. Sam Heughan is the other. “We have been in the writers’ room but haven’t figured out what that ending will be. I don’t know that we’ll see that because I would imagine Diana might wrap that up in her book, so I don’t know if we would or not. That’s a TBD. But that also means to me if we see Jamie’s ghost that must mean Jamie died. And I will say, though, all bets are off for Season 8. Anyone could go.”
