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."

The key Outlander players (time-)traveled to San Diego on Friday for Comic-Con. In Hall H, they revealed the first look at the Starz show’s eighth and final season. You can watch that just below; the new stuff starts around the 1:55 mark.

Time travel never quite leaves you alone in Outlander. Just when you think things might finally settle, something unexpected pulls everyone back in.

In that spirit, original Outlander star Graham McTavish, who played Jamie Fraser's uncle on the Starz series, made a surprise appearance at the Comic-Con panel for prequel series Outlander: Blood of my Blood to jokingly ask Sam Retford, who plays a younger Dougal in the new show, a question.

Speaking of which, Scotland is another major character from the Outlander universe that Blood of my Blood is putting the spotlight back on. Because this prequel isn’t just diving into the youth of the MacKenzie siblings or Murtagh Fitzgibbons, it’s also revisiting the place which captured the minds of the Outlander fandom.

“ Outlander: Blood of my Blood” comes to Starz on Aug. 8, along with a brand new opening title sequence. Showrunner and executive producer Matthew B. Roberts promises there’s a new energy to the “Outlander” prequel.
