Finally! We have an announcement on when Outlander Season 4 will premiere. As expected, it will happen on November 4. Here are all the details.

Starz didn’t really have a choice, did they? With the publications promoting the date after the accidental trailer release, it was clear they would have to run with November 4 as the Outlander Season 4 premiere date whether the network wanted to or not.

Finally, after some back and forth on wondering whether it was the right date or not, Starz has officially confirmed that the date is happening. We’ll get the very first episode on November 4 at 8 p.m.

It looks like the 8/7c timeslot worked so well for Outlander Season 3 that the network is keeping it for the fourth season, according to Deadline. That makes sense. The third season saw almost a 50% increase in live + 7-day viewers compared to the second season. That’s not normal for a TV series. Each season usually sees a drop in viewers instead.

It’s worth noting that Outlander moved from a Saturday night to a Sunday night for the third season. And the show is getting more promotion.

If you want it earlier than that, you’re in luck. The episodes are available from midnight on the day of release on the Starz App. You can get access direct from Starz and through Amazon Channels.

Starz has recently made deals with various companies around the world. Australian viewers can access through Stan, while British and German viewers can get access through Amazon Prime Channels. Canadian viewers will get access sometime in 2019 through the Bell Media partnership.

All I can say is, though, it’s about time. Nice to put the premiere in pen in the diary!

Outlander Season 4 will premiere on Nov. 4 at 8/7c on Starz (it feels so good to finally write that).
