Outlander Season 5 is not coming to Netflix in October 2021

You likely have a Netflix subscription running throughout the year, and you’re waiting for Outlander Season 5 to arrive. The wait is still on.

We never originally believed that Outlander would come to Netflix. As a STARZ series, we expected the streamer to want to keep the show exclusive to its service. However, former CEO Chris Albrecht realized the benefit of putting the series on the biggest streaming platform, but did keep some seasons exclusive to his own platform.

Outlander Season 5 is only available on STARZ right now. There are certainly plenty of people looking for the series to head to Netflix, but that’s not happening next month. We’ve double-checked the list, but Outlander Season 5 is certainly not on there.

Note that this is only about Netflix U.S. The season is available on Netflix in other locations.

When will Outlander Season 5 come to Netflix?

There’s no confirmation just yet on when the season will arrive, but we can make an educated guess. Seasons 3 and 4 both arrived two years after their finale aired on STARZ. We’re expecting something similar for Season 5, which means around May 10, 2022.

This sort of timeline works for a show like Outlander. STARZ isn’t going to want to encourage people not to sign up to its service so it needs to keep a season exclusive. With how long Droughtlanders can be, the two-year wait allows time for the next season to film and be released.

Just look at the plan for a May 2022 release date for Outlander Season 5 on Netflix. Outlander Season 6 is set to premiere in early 2022 and the finale will have likely aired before May. This means Season 6 will still be exclusive on STARZ when Season 5 is released on Netflix.

We’ll be sure to keep an eye on the release date for the fifth season. As soon as we know, we’ll let you know.

Outlander Seasons 1 to 4 are available to stream on Netflix. All five seasons are on STARZ.
