SDCC 2025: Outlander panel with Sam Heughan, Sophie Skelton, Richard Rankin and more
On Friday, July 25, "Outlander" devotees gathered in Hall H for the first time ever, for a retrospective conversation with stars Sam Heughan, Sophie Skelton, and Richard Rankin alongside showrunner and executive producer Matthew B. Roberts and executive producer Maril Davis. Moderated by franchise superfan Aisha Tyler, who proclaimed the series as a “sexy guilty pleasure,” as the cast reflected on the incredible and bittersweet journey from their unforgettable on-set moments to the cast’s emotional final table read.
Fans in Hall H were treated to a surprise video message from Claire Fraser herself, Caitriona Balfe, as panelists gave the room a sneak peek at what’s in store for the final season, premiering early next year. Fresh off last season’s shocking cliffhanger, the first look of the final season honored seven epic seasons while teasing what’s in store for the Fraser clan -- and the possible fate of Jamie Fraser.
