Another Droughtlander has come to an end. The Outlander season 7B premiere is here, and it does not disappoint. Of course, you’ll want to jump straight into the rest of the season.
Like previous seasons, Outlander will air weekly. This is normal for premium cable channels. While there is an app and it can feel like it’s streaming, STARZ and other premium cable channels rely on people paying a subscription for access. Releasing content weekly allows them to keep people hooked in. It’s a business for them.
Plus, there is something about still watching shows weekly. I’ll admit that I prefer it, as I love talking about individual episodes and discussing theories. I forget things that happened when I binge watch something the first time I’m watching it.
Outlander season 7B release schedule
So, you’ll need to get ready for the new episodes. Here’s a rough schedule of what to expect. STARZ doesn’t give us exact dates too far in advance.
Friday, Nov. 22: Outlander season 7, episode 9, “Unfinished Business”
Friday, Nov. 29: Outlander season 7, Episode 10, “Brotherly Love”
This is as far as the STARZ schedule goes up to. However, we are expecting a new episode on Friday, Dec. 6 and Friday, Dec. 13, at least.
Episodes airs at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the channel. The episodes drop at midnight ET on the app, which can mean a Thursday 9 p.m. drop for those on the West Coast.
Will there be a week break in the Outlander schedule?
Now, one thing I do expect to see happen is a week break. Apart from the first season (which actually saw a six-month break and was a time STARZ was still testing things out) the show has had a one-week break at some point in the season.
The break in the second season was just before the season 2 finale, while seasons 3, 4 and 5, had a week break in the middle of the season. Seasons 6 and 7A went back to the break being just before the finales, and I think that’s where we’ll see the season 7B break.
Yes, I fully expect a break. This isn’t just an Outlander thing. STARZ is doing it with all shows.
We know that The Couple Next Door will premiere on Friday, Jan. 17. I suspect that the Outlander season 7 finale will air on that date and roll us straight into the Sam Heughan thriller. I suspect the break will be on Friday, Jan. 10, but I can’t confirm that just yet.
Outlander airs on Fridays on STARZ.
