Is Outlander Season 1 on Netflix?
If you love romantic stories with lots of drama and heart, Outlander is the series to turn to. Where can you watch Outlander Season 1 online? Is the season on Netflix?
Based on the book series by Diana Gabaldon, Outlander tells the story of Claire and Jamie. The books are Claire’s story about Jamie, but the shows are more of Claire’s story, her journey through time meeting her soulmate.
Everything has moved on from the beginning. Other characters have gained chapters of their own in the books to tell their stories, and there’s no doubt the TV series has done the same. You’ll want to check it out from the very beginning, though, but where is the series available to stream?
Outlander is a STARZ show. All seasons are on STARZ, but are they available on a bigger streaming platform?
Outlander Season 1 is on Netflix
There’s some good news if you don’t want to get another streaming platform or a premium cable network. Outlander Season 1 is available to stream on Netflix.
When Chris Albrecht was CEO of STARZ, he understood the benefits of licensing content to Netflix. He definitely understood a non-exclusive license on Netflix since it meant all episodes could remain on STARZ.
Netflix has a bigger audience than STARZ. Putting the show on that streaming platform would help it gain more viewers. At first, only the first two seasons headed to Netflix. Then the third season was added shortly after. We’re up to the fourth season now, with the fifth season still only on STARZ for the time being. It’s all part of a strategy to encourage subscribers to STARZ for the latest seasons when they’ve checked out the series initially on Netflix.
How long will Netflix keep Outlander? We don’t know the contract. At first, new STARZ CEO Jeremy Hirsch was vocal about opposing the arrival of seasons on the bigger streamer. However, with the success of the fifth season on STARZ, it’s likely that the company’s board is more than happy to keep the license going.
