Outlander's series finale will be a surprise to more than just fans!
Ahead of the historical drama's eighth and final season, executive producer Matthew B. Roberts revealed in Entertainment Weekly's new digital cover story that the show's ending has been kept a secret from most cast members.
"There's a small handful of people that have seen it all the way through," he shared. "I think keeping it close to the vest and a surprise to a lot of people made it a little more special."
"What we tried to do is answer as many questions as we could authentically," Roberts added. "There's so many great storylines that get tied up — whether it's in a tight bow or a very loose bow, that's for the fans to judge."

Caitríona Balfe, who stars as Claire Fraser alongside Sam Heughan's Jamie Fraser, is one of the people who doesn't know what to expect, telling the outlet that she has only seen the first three episodes of season 8.
"I am as curious and in anticipation of seeing the rest of the season as everyone else will be," she said.
Roberts explained that he secured his plan by having the actors film several different — and probable — endings so they didn't know which is real.
"They all could have been the ending, and that's why people believed them," he noted.
"There was some fun to having multiple endings — like the 'Who Shot J.R.?' moment, if I'm going to date myself," added Maril Davis, also an executive producer, referring to the famous cliffhanger on Dallas. "How many different ways could it go?"

Still, Sophie Skelton confessed that she has an idea about where her character, Claire and Jamie's daughter Brianna Fraser, ends up.
"Brianna's at peace, and that makes me very happy," Skelton said.
David Berry also teased the concluding storyline of his character, Lord John Grey: "Something I get asked a lot is, 'Will John find love of his own?' I think this season will address that head on."
"Lord John's story ends in a place that I'm very happy with," he continued.
Starz confirmed that Outlander would be ending after season 8 in 2023, with the cast coming together for a joint video announcement. "Every good story has to come to an end," Heughan began, before Balfe said, "It always does."
Skelton, Richard Rankin (Roger MacKenzie) and John Bell (Young Ian) also appeared. "We're going to go out with a bang and tell the story how it should be," Bell said. Skelton then chimed in, "It's not over yet," as Rankin continued, "With love and enthusiasm."
Heughan further said, "We can't wait to bring the last season to you guys," and Balfe concluded, "We hope that we do you proud."
