With the way the previous episode ended, there’s no doubt that you’re getting ready for the Outlander: Blood of My Blood season 1 finale. There is some bad news when it comes to Friday, Oct. 3.
There isn’t going to be a new episode airing on STARZ tonight. No, it’s not going to be on the app, nor is the episode going to air on the STARZ channel later on. This isn’t because the show is canceled, but due to the way STARZ likes to organize its programming.
Yes, it’s annoying, but from a business point of view, I also get it.
Outlander: Blood of My Blood season 1 finale air date
While the episode won’t air tonight, there isn’t too much longer left to see how the first season comes to an end. The Outlander: Blood of My Blood Season 1 finale will air on Friday, Oct. 10. That’s next Friday, Sassenachs!
This is an annoying side of STARZ programming, and it’s something that we predicted would happen at ClaireandJamie.com. You see, STARZ loves to put a week break in the middle of seasons of its top shows. It’s done it with Outlander from the beginning.
Okay, the first season didn’t have a week break, but it did end up with a six-month break between the two halves of the season. From then, we’ve had a week break, usually just before the finale, as a way to extend the time the show airs for subscription numbers. That’s the business side of things.
What to expect in the Outlander: Blood of My Blood season 1 finale
We know the Outlander: Blood of My Blood season 1 finale is going to be a big one. Right now, Brian Fraser’s life is on the line, as he has assassins coming after him. Someone has sent them to kill him, and he will need to figure out who.
On top of that, Ellen MacKenzie needs to go through with a wedding she doesn’t want. She wants to be with Brian, but she’s broken his heart to get him to walk away from her. Ironically, that was to save his life, and now we know that someone is trying to kill him.
When it comes to Julia and Henry, they finally found each other, but they weren’t able to speak for too long. Julia is going to leave a marker for Henry to get to her, and it should be time for the two of them to escape together. Where will they go? Well, the stones seem like the best option knowing that this is where they fell into the past.
We’ll just have to wait until Friday, Oct. 10 to find out how Outlander: Blood of My Blood season 1 comes to an end.
Stay up to date with the latest Outlander: Blood of My Blood news and more with Claire and Jamie.
Outlander: Blood of My Blood is available to stream on STARZ.
