Outlander stars Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe have officially wrapped up their final scenes as Jamie and Claire Fraser for the forthcoming eighth and final season of the hit historical drama.A release date has not been confirmed, but the epic saga is expected to come to an end at some point in 2025 or 2026.Until then, the stars have been enjoying their newfound freedom, as revealed in Heughan’s recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show.The beloved Scottish star recently swung by the show to tease the US release of his recent project away from Outlander, Channel 4’s erotic thriller The Couple Next Door, which is now playing on Starz.During the chat, Kelly probed the star about his last few weeks since the final wrap was called for the historical fantasy series’ last outing.“It’s been a long part of my life,” he candidly shared. “So, yeah, I mean, it’s sort of bittersweet, right?”Kelly then revealed she had heard Heughan achieved something “big” to celebrate the end of filming.“We had wrap parties and everything,” he confirmed. “But, actually I went to Nepal.“I’d always wanted to go see Everest, so I went out there with a friend of mine, Jake Norton, who’s this mountaineer.”Heughan then dropped a bombshell; he and Norton were the first people to ever hike along a certain part of the Himalayas.“We hiked for two weeks along the Hunku Khola valley,” he revealed. “And we were the first people ever to do that.
