Posting a comment on her Facebook fan page , Gabaldon confirmed Outlander season 8 will have a different ending than her novel series. The author explained how the show still has three books to pull from, including an unpublished tenth installment, meaning the final 10 episodes aren't going to be able to cover everything, nor deliver an ending similar to what she has in mind.
There's only so much I can say about the show, but what I can say is that it really won't resemble the end of the book series. Coming into Season 8, the show-runners have/had only ten episodes --and material from THREE WHOLE BOOKS to fit into that. Season 7 ends with AN ECHO IN THE BONE, leaving WRITTEN IN MY OWN HEART'S BLOOD, GO TELL THE BEES THAT I AM GONE, and BOOK TEN almost untouched.
Now, in normal circumstances – one book per season – they can fit roughly 10% of the book's content into the show. How much of the 1,200,000 words of those three books do you think they can get into ten hours of television? Obviously, they're going to have to cherry-pick some prime scenes/threads to film, and try to fit them into a framework that makes sense for one season, and that they can bring to a reasonably satisfactory conclusion.
