As we get to the end of Outlander season 7, eyes are on a few things. A lot of fans want to know when season 8 will premiere, but others want to know when they can get the season on Netflix U.S.
With Outlander season 7 being split in two, it’s likely that we’ll see the release on Netflix being split in two as well. So, while we’re waiting until 2027 for the final half of the season to arrive on Netflix in the United States, we could get half of the season this year. Yes, it’s highly likely that Outlander season 7A will come to Netflix this summer.
Why Netflix is likely to get the first half of Outlander season 7
I wasn’t that sure about how STARZ and Netflix were going to handle a split season. While STARZ split the first season in two, this is the first time that Netflix has had to deal with the split. The release would depend on the way the contract for licensing the series was written. Did it include the possibility of a split season considering it was arranged before season 6 was shorted and season 7 got the extra episodes?
The way the release has happened in Australia, Canada, and other countries gives away that Netflix U.S. is likely to get the split season. If STARZ allows it in other countries, why not in the United States?
On top of that, there is still a set of episodes exclusive to STARZ. There are eight episodes of Outlander season 7 that definitely won’t arrive before 2027. STARZ will always want some episodes to be exclusive on its own platform to keep the subscribers.
When Outlander season 7A is likely to arrive on Netflix in the U.S.
That means we’re looking at Aug. 11, 2025 as the release date for the first eight episodes of Outlander season 7. This will take us up to the eighth episode, which saw Roger and Brianna separated through time and Claire, Jamie, and Young Ian get back to Scotland in 1778.
It will certainly help with Droughtlander. We are going into our last one, and we’re not expecting Outlander season 8 until 2026. Having episodes drop on Netflix will be great, especially for those who chose not to get STARZ and have waited patiently for the next part of the story.
We’re then expecting Outlander season 7B to arrive on Netflix U.S. on Jan. 17, 2027.
Outlander season 7’s final will air on Friday, Jan. 17 on STARZ.
