With Outlander Seasons 1 and 2 heading to Netflix later this month, there’s a question about the other two seasons. Will Seasons 3 and 4 ever be on the streaming service?
Outlander Seasons 1 and 2 are heading to Netflix U.S. later this month. It’s awesome news for fans who have only been able to stream through STARZ up to this point. But what about the other two seasons? Will Netflix subscribers ever get Seasons 3 and 4?
I think the third and fourth seasons will eventually end up on Netflix, especially if the first two seasons prove to be successful for both STARZ and Netflix. After all, why only ever have the first two seasons and make fans look elsewhere for the next two? It makes sense at first but not in the long run.

What I think will happen is that Netflix will add the third season this time next year. Maybe in six months time at the very earliest. In a year’s time, the Outlander Season 5 will (hopefully) be out and fans will have another reason to sign up to STARZ. Then a year after that, the fourth season will be added to time with the sixth season release.
Another option for STARZ would be to release the third and fourth seasons together next year. The release could be timed with the arrival of the fifth season, which would give fans on Netflix a chance to catch up with the whole series. Fans can then move over to STARZ for the fifth season as it airs (whether weekly or released at once on the streaming platform). The fifth season can then be released on Netflix to time with the sixth season release.
While fans have wanted the show on Netflix for a while, this is something that needs to work for STARZ. This is the company that needs to benefit financially from the series, showing the network that fans do want it and will pay for it. This leads to more seasons of it for us!
