Jennifer is a TV News Editor at ScreenRant. She started her journey in entertainment media in 2022 when she first joined Valnet at CBR before coming to ScreenRant.

Jennifer loves TV, especially science fiction. She also loves late-night talk shows, due to her insomnia. Alien: Earth is definitely one of her favorite shows, and she jumps on any chance she gets to write about it. Even on her days off, she will claim an Alien Earth article if one is available.

Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon are two of her favorite late-night hosts, and Conan O'Brien before he left his show.

Her Alien: Earth coverage for Screen Rant is by far the work that she is most proud of so far.

She began her career as an editor in 2014. She was initially a finance editor, but her passion for pop culture convinced her to transition into entertainment journalism.

During her off time, she loves to binge-watch cooking shows such as Kitchen Nightmares. Jennifer also loves spending time with her daughter and cherishes every moment of it.

STARZ has unveiled the final trailer for Outlander season 8, the last chapter of the beloved time-travel drama.

For more than a decade, the love story between Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) has captured the hearts of many Outlander fans. The series has been praised for its depiction of female empowerment and is reportedly one of the very first series to tell a story through the eyes of women. Audiences believe that Outlander has redefined the way stories are told through television, especially book adaptations.

Outlander season 8's newly released trailer offers a first look at the emotional farewell. The preview shows both heartwarming and devastating moments that will unfold. Familiar faces return with long-awaited reunions. However, the most daunting part of the trailer was Frank Randall’s (Tobias Menzies) book detailing Jamie’s inevitable demise. With the show's past attempts to rewrite history failing, the Fraser family is forced to face the possibility that some things can't be changed.

The final season of Outlander picks up with Jamie and Claire returning to Fraser’s Ridge, only to be confronted by the war they were trying to escape. Their home became a successful settlement that has only grown since their departure. However, despite all the positive changes that have been made, danger is still brewing beneath the surface.

The Fraser family must decide what sacrifices they want to make to keep their home and stay together as a family. To make things worse, family secrets start resurfacing, and they could destroy even the strongest of relationships. Even though the war for independence may be behind them, the fight to protect their homes and each other is far from over.

Outlander season 8 stars Sophie Skelton, Richard Rankin, John Bell, David Berry, Charles Vandervaart, and Izzy Meikle-Small alongside Balfe and Heughan. Executive producers include Matthew B. Roberts, Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis, Toni Graphia, Luke Schelhaas, Andy Harries, and Jim Kohlberg, as well as the show's stars, Balfe and Heughan. The series is produced by Sony Pictures Television.

Based on Diana Gabaldon’s best-selling novels, which have sold more than 50 million copies, Outlander has become a worldwide phenomenon. The story arguably has something for everyone, blending historical drama, romance, science fiction, and adventure all into one franchise.

Outlander seasons 1 through 7 can be streamed on the STARZ app. Season 8 will premiere on March 6, 2026, and release new episodes every Friday.
