Sorry, Sassenachs. There is some terrible news when it comes to a new episode of Outlander on tonight. There isn’t a new episode dropping.
We’re used to tuning in at midnight ET on Fridays for new episodes. That means 11 p.m. CT, 10 p.m. MT, and 9 p.m. PT on Thursdays when it comes to the STARZ App. There is no doubt that you’re getting ready for the new episode to drop tonight, but we don’t want you staying up when you don’t need to.
When will Outlander return with new episodes?
To make matters worse, there isn’t even a rerun airing on the STARZ channel tomorrow night. STARZ will air the 7th Annual Critics Choice Association of Black Cinema and Television instead. After that, the movie Plane will air on the channel.
The good news is that with the STARZ App, you can rewatch the episodes any time that you want. All seven seasons so far are available to stream on the app—and you can get the first six seasons on Netflix.
There is some good news in that this break is a short one. It’s a weird one that STARZ does, which is likely more about money than anything else. Every show that airs on STARZ seems to have a one-week break, and this helps to spread out the subscription. Those who subscribe just as a show starts up will need that extra month to get to the last episode.
Outlander season 7, episode 16 will air on Friday, Jan. 17. That’s next week!
Now for the bittersweet Outlander news
There is only one episode left of Outlander season 7. Just as we get the show back, it’s going on another break. This one will be a lengthy one.
It’s time for the last ever Droughtlander. While there will be an eighth season of the series, this is confirmed as the last one. There’s time to wrap up the storylines for the various characters, and it looks like the show will wrap up the cliffhangers from Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone in its own way.
We don’t know when the final season will arrive, but we’re predicting early 2026. With Outlander: Blood of My Blood confirmed for 2025, it doesn’t make sense for STARZ to put on two shows in the same franchise on in the same year. And that’s even if post-production on Outlander season 8 has even finished in time for a late 2025 release.
Outlander will airs its season 7 finale on Friday, Jan. 17.
