We’re almost at the end of the first season of Outlander: Blood of My Blood. After taking a week off, the series is back to air the finale, and you will not want to miss out.
This episode is longer than previous ones, which makes a lot of sense. There’s a lot to fit into the finale, and we often seen premieres or finales end up a little longer. In fact, we’ve seen it in the flagship Outlander series before, and one of the benefits of being on a premium cable network is not being stuck to just 40 minutes because of commercials.
Make sure you don’t end up interrupted while you’re trying to watch this. Unfortunately, you likely won’t be able to fit this episode into your lunch break!
Outlander: Blood of My Blood season 1 finale episode length
The finale is set to be one hour and 25 minutes. Yes, this is almost a 90-minute episode, and it’s going to be worth it, I can promise you that. There is so much to fit in, as Ellen prepares for her wedding to Malcolm Grant and Henry finds a way to get to Julia.
You’ll see that on the STARZ schedule it looks like it’s a little longer. The 1:25 time includes the opening and closing credits. A little extra time is given in the schedule for trailers for other content on STARZ, as the channel doesn’t have traditional ads.
How long is Outlander: Blood of My Blood on STARZ?
As we’re at the finale, you may be worried about losing the series. After all, some shows, such as Hightown, have been removed off the STARZ app despite being original to the premium cable network. There’s no need to worry about that happening to anything in the Outlander universe, though.
For one, there is a second season currently in production, and that’s likely to come out in 2027. We also know that Outlander season 8 is coming out in early 2026. With so much still to come, it doesn’t make sense for STARZ to remove the content. The only way this is likely to happen right now is if the company suddenly goes off the air.
What to expect in the Outlander: Blood of My Blood season 1 finale
The finale of the prequel series has a lot of ground to cover, but it needs to pick up from where Outlander: Blood of My Blood season 1, episode 9, which saw Brian’s life on the line. Assassins are after him, and Brian will want to figure out who sent them while also figuring out what’s going on with Ellen.
As for Ellen, she has made a promise to Colum. For as long as Brian’s life is spared, she will marry Malcolm Grant. Will she find out that someone has sent assassins after him, and will she blame her brother? There are chances, and this could allow her to break free from the promise and rush off to find her true love.
Meanwhile, Henry and Julia have found each other, and it’s time for them to get away from Castle Grant and Leathers together. That’s likely to be easier said than done, though, especially when it comes to Julia taking William.
Outlander: Blood of My Blood airs on Friday, Oct. 10 on STARZ.
