In the third photo, Heughan gave fans a glimpse of the final script and had his hand placed over the episode details on the cover page.
Many fans took to the comments section to emotionally react to the series ending after premiering a decade ago.
“We are all crying!! But we are also grateful for these 8 seasons. 😭❤️ Thank you all!!” one user wrote, Another responded, “Excited and heartbroken all at the same time 🥺🥺🥺.”
In addition to the love from the fans, Heughan also got support from his fellow Outlander cast and crew members.
“What an amazing journey you all have been on,” the official Outlander account replied. “And what an incredible show you’ve made. ❤️.”
Fellow Outlander star Sophie Skelton , who joined the drama in season 2 as Jamie and Claire’s daughter Brianna, gushed, “You guys ❤️.”
Skelton, 30, also shared a snap of her and her dog on set for the read through.
“Bring your dog to final read through day,” she captioned the pic of her and the pup outside.
Balfe, 44, also took to Instagram to post a heartfelt video paying homage to her costars.
“Here we are …… 11 years 101 episodes and a whole lotta love, sweat and tears (and some blood),” she captioned the clip on Monday. “Thank you @outlander_starz @sptv @samheughan @sophie.skelton @rikrankin @johnhunterbell @izzy_meikle @caitlinoryan and all the rest of our cast and crew and fans….
