Outlander actor Sam Heughan has teased that his character Jamie Fraser and wife Claire (Caitríona Balfe) could be torn apart again in the eighth and final season of the hit Starz series.

Slater noted that the scene's set-up reminded her of an iconic scene in Baz Luhrmann's film adaptation of Shakespeare's play, Romeo + Juliet. " The very first time in the barn, it reminded us all a bit of the scene in Romeo + Juliet with the fish tank. That was my first thought when I read it. It's such a beautiful scene."

Hence, there is no concrete proof that Jamie Fraser will die in Outlander Season 8. The tense teaser clips, though they are dramatic, are meant to create speculations, not to deliver guarantees. There is nothing in the books to confirm the death hypothesis, nor do the showrunners or Starz release an official declaration confirming his demise.
