Heughan celebrated with costars Caitriona Balfe, David Berry, and executive producer Matthew B. Roberts.

Outlander may be about traversing centuries of time, but they've now got a century of episodes to their credit.

In September, the Starz series celebrated hitting the milestone of 100 episodes. The cast, including Caitriona Balfe, Sam Heughan, and David Berry, as well as executive producer Matthew B. Roberts celebrated in true Outlander fashion — by cutting a cake with a sword.

Of course, they left the honors to Jamie Fraser himself — and fans can get a closer look at Heughan's cake-cutting skills in the exclusive video above.

While marking the occasion, Roberts pointed out the sheer scale that 100 episodes represents. "If we shot continuously, it's been four years straight of filming," he noted. "And that's not even counting our second unit."

Balfe, who has played Claire across all eight seasons of the series, quipped in response, "Except it's felt like 11" (which is the actual number of years they've all been making Outlander). Balfe also added, "This is amazing. This doesn't happen very often — a century of TV."

For such a momentous moment, Heughan noted, "We need a bigger cake," before Roberts and the cast all congratulated each other. The cake bears an inscription of "Outlander 100 episodes" and the design looks like stone dotted with blooms of thistle and purple flowers, signature Scottish blooms.

The 100th episode is part of season 8, which will mark Outlander's final season. Specifically, it will serve as the penultimate episode of the series.
