While Outlander Season 8 is the last season of the show and will bring the story to an end, it might as well bring an end to Jamie and Claire's love. Their love has sustained war, distance, time travel, and much more. But the new teaser for Outlander Season 8 hints at Jamie dying in the war for America's independence when the war reaches the backcountry.This is not the first time the show has hinted at Jamie or Claire dying. There was a brief moment in Season 3 when Jamie appeared to be dead but was later revealed to be alive. Thus, this hint could lead to Jamie actually dying or might just serve as an obstacle he overcomes.Jamie might meet his end in Outlander Season 8Jamie had resigned as Brigadier General at the end of Outlander Season 7, but he still might and most likely will fight in the battles that will lead to America's independence. The teaser for Outlander Season 8 opens with Jamie hammering a nail into wood, but something seems to be bothering him, and he throws away the hammer without completing the task. We are reminded of the upcoming war for Independence and see Roger and Brianna embracing each other in a way that suggests that they might be briefly separated again.

But one of the clearest messages of the Outlander Season 8 teaser trailer is that Jamie is most likely going to die when the war comes to the backcountry. In the teaser, we see Jamie tell Claire that he has been reading Frank's book, The Soul of a Rebel: The Scottish Roots of the American Revolution. According to Frank's book, James Fraser dies when the war for Independence reaches the backcountry. This is something taken directly from the novels.In the Outlander novels, Brianna had found Frank's book in the 20th century and brought it back to the 16th century so that it could guide her parents. In Frank's book, he had written about James Fraser, Fraser's Ridge, and even when Jamie had died. Frank might not have made it obvious to Claire and Brianna during his living years that he had researched and looked into Jamie, but he had, so that one day, his book can help them prepare for what's coming. The Outlander novels revealed that Frank's book stated that Jamie would die in the Battle of King's Mountain.From the Outlander Season 8 teaser trailer, it seems that the show will be following this particular plotline from the books, and we will most likely see more of what Frank had written to help out his family. But the fact that Frank mentions Jamie's death makes it an even more possible incident. While the fans would be understandably heartbroken to see Jamie die at the end of the show, it wouldn't be completely unrealistic. In the teaser, we also see Jamie say,"It is the unseen threads that binds us. Woven by a hand far greater than our own."
