At long last, the Outlander: Blood of My Blood series premiere is almost here. You’ll need to make sure you set enough time to watch the entire first episode uninterrupted.
Also, don’t forget that we’re getting two episodes at once. You’ll need to set enough time aside to get through everything. There’s a lot to sit through with two episodes, so we get it if you need a break. However, with how bingeable the Outlander universe is, you won’t want to step aside.
Outlander: Blood of My Blood series premiere episode length
The first episode is going to be longer than most other episodes. That’s not surprising with so much to delve into. There’s the entire setting of the two love stories to introduce, and let’s not forget that we have the time travel element to also bring in.
The full episode length is just over one hour and 20 minutes to open the Outlander prequel. This includes the opening and closing credits, and they’re both worth sitting through. Not only are the opening credits beautifully created, but the end credits tell us all of the names involved in the series.
It may look a little longer on the STARZ schedule. Keep in mind that this includes some of the trailers that are shown to highlight other STARZ programming.
This is about the same length as the Outlander season 6 premiere, which opened with a flashback of Jamie at Ardsmuir, bringing us an introduction of Tom Christie, who would become a major player in the season.
How long is Outlander: Blood of My Blood season 1, episode 2?
The second episode of Outlander: Blood of My Blood is just a little shorter than the premiere. It sits at 58 minutes in length, including the opening and closing credits. Again, it will likely show as a little longer on the schedule due to the trailer content shown in between programming.
We’re expecting the rest of the season to be around this length for each episode. While premium cable networks are stuck to the strict timelines as broadcast and cable networks are, so this can allow for episode lengths to differ. However, the cost of production can be high, which means it’s unusual for an Outlander universe show to be longer than an hour an episode.
Outlander: Blood of My Blood premieres on Friday, Aug. 8 on STARZ.
