With Netflix confirming when Outlander season 7A will come to the U.S. platform, it gives us all the information we need to work out when the rest of the season will arrive. It’s all happening as we expected.
The one thing we weren’t sure about was whether Outlander season 7 would be split in two parts when going to Netflix. I could have seen STARZ saying that all 16 episodes had to arrive together, but then when I saw that Canada’s Netflix got the half-season, it told me that it would be split in two for the United States as well.
Outlander season 7A is coming to Netflix in August
As a reminder, Outlander season 7A will arrive on Netflix on Monday, Aug. 11. This marks two years from when the season 7A finale aired on STARZ, and it fits the timeline of previous seasons.
There was then a 15-month wait for the second half of the season, which was excrutiating. It didn’t help that we knew the season had been filmed, and that most of it was through post-production before the end of 2023. It didn’t make sense why we had to wait until the end of 2024, but at least we eventually got the episodes.
Outlander season 7B is sure to come to Netflix in January 2027
So, now it comes to when Outlander season 7, part 2 will arrive on Netflix in the United States. Other parts of the world already have it, but there are different licensing rights for each jurisdiction.
Outlander season 7B is sure to drop on Netflix on Jan. 17, 2027. This will mark two years from when the finale dropped on STARZ.
This is if the deal between STARZ and Netflix is still in place. We have no idea how long the deal was originally for when former STARZ CEO Chris Albrecht worked on it. Jeremy Hirsch, who took over as CEO after Albrecht left, didn’t like the deal, but it wasn’t one he could just pull out of. Plus, having Outlander on Netflix ended up being a great thing for the series.
Outlander season 8 should be out first
I suspect that we’ll see Outlander season 8 arrive sometime in early 2026. That means we’ll have 10 more episodes to watch before Outlander season 7B heads to Netflix.
This is pretty normal for the streamer. It takes so long for episodes to come out, so the wait for those episodes to go to Netflix has to have a long gap to make sure there is something exclusive to STARZ. So, we’ll have Outlander: Blood of My Blood and Outlander season 8 before the second set of episodes from season 7.
Outlander season 7A is coming to Netflix on Monday, Aug. 11. Outlander: Blood of My Blood premieres on Friday, Aug. 8 on STARZ.
