It's the End of an Era as Filming Wraps on 'Outlander'

Filming on the final season of the Starz period drama Outlander has officially wrapped, bringing over a decade of time-traveling, romantic adventures to a close. The network celebrated with a series of wrap photos featuring the bulk of the series main cast with production clapperboards, and it's a charming farewell to a series that has meant so much to so many people.

It seems strange to be mourning the end of a series with a season and a half of episodes left to air. But it's equally difficult to overstate the impact that the success of Outlander has had on the television landscape writ large. Years before Bridgerton's debut, the series was breaking new ground in period romance, pushing boundaries when it came to telling female-focused historical stories centered on love and sex. (And, yes, a fair amount of violence.)

In many ways, the premise of Outlander is ridiculous: A freshly married World War II nurse named Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe) finds herself sent back to the past when she touches the standing stones of Craigh na Dun. Transported to mid-eighteenth-century Scotland, she meets and falls in love with a hunky Scottish warrior named Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), and what follows is a sweeping, achingly romantic story that spans time periods, continents, and generations of both the Fraser and Randall clans.
