With the next season being the final season of “Outlander,” season seven is starting to set up for endings and the start of goodbyes. This included the death of Ian, who passed away in season 7b.

“Outlander” stars Caitríona Balfe as Claire Fraser, Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser, Sophie Skelton as Brianna MacKenzie, Richard Rankin as Roger MacKenzie, John Bell as Young Ian, and David Berry as Lord John Grey. This season introduces new members to the cast including Charles Vandervaart as William Ransom, Izzy Meikle-Small as Rachel Hunter, and Joey Phillips as Denzell Hunter.

I talked to executive producers Maril Davis and Matthew B. Roberts about why they decided that this season Ian should die, how his death affects everyone, what it’s like knowing that next season is the last season, and a beginning with the prequel series, and if they were time travelers in they would like to visit their ancestors or descendants.

Outlander airs on Fridays Starz.
