Outlander Season 7 Part 2 will arrive this week, with Claire and Jamie finally sailing back to Scotland – and if you can’t wait for its release date, this is exactly what time you should tune in.

Outlander may not be produced by Netflix, Prime Video, or Disney Plus, but over its seven-season run (with an eighth and final chapter in production), it’s quietly become one of the most binge-worthy TV shows of the past 10 years.

It launched in 2014, following Claire (Caitríona Balfe), a nurse in World War II who’s transported back in time to 1743 and, after a chance encounter with Jamie Fraser, she becomes embroiled in the Jacobite rising.

A lot has gone down since then – Jamie and Claire’s wedding (and their reunion), Bree finally meeting Jamie, the Battle of Culloden, and that’s really the tip of the iceberg – and after over a year, Season 7 Part 2 is days away from its release.

What time is Outlander Season 7 Part 2 out?

The first episode of Outlander Season 7 Part 2 will premiere on Starz at 5pm PT/8pm ET on Friday, November 22.

You can either sign up for Starz directly or subscribe via Hulu’s add-on. If you’re based in the UK, it’ll be available to watch at the same time on MGM+, accessible via Prime Video. Don’t worry about trying to work out all of the other time zones, either – we’ve listed them below:

  • Canada: 8pm
  • Brazil: 9pm
  • Portugal and western Europe: 1am (Saturday, November 23)
  • UK: 1am (Saturday, November 23)
  • Spain and central Europe: 2am (Saturday, November 23)
  • Bulgaria and eastern Europe: 3am (Saturday, November 23)
  • India: 5:30am (Saturday, November 23)
  • Australia: 10am (Saturday, November 23)
  • New Zealand: 12pm (Saturday, November 23)

Remember, most streaming services offer seven-day free trials, so if you’re unsure about adding another direct debit to your bills, you can give Starz or MGM+ a try before committing long-term.

How many episodes are there?

There will be eight episodes in Outlander Season 7 Part 2, bringing the season’s total episode count to 16.

This marks the first time the series has produced 16 episodes for a single season since Season 1, with Seasons 2-4 having 13 episodes, Season 5 having 12, and Season 6 having just eight (likely as a result of global restrictions, as it was released in 2022).

What will happen in Part 2?

Season 7 Part 2 will pick up with Claire and Jamie making their way back to Scotland, and according to Balfe, it’s “one of the most exciting” chapters of the show to date.

“There is so much happening. There’s a storyline that to me was so shocking reading it, in terms of Claire and what she does and the fallout from that, and what everybody does is quite shocking,” she told Dexerto.

“And there’s just so much going on – it’s not just Claire and Jamie’s story; it’s Lord John Grey, it’s William. There’s just so much happening, and it’s exciting. I think it’s going to be a fan-favorite.”

As per the show’s official synopsis, “the perils of the Revolutionary War force [Jamie, Claire, and Young Ian] to choose between standing by those they love and fighting for the land they have made their new home.”

Is Outlander Season 7 on Netflix?
