The End Of Outlander Is Nigh
The Season 7 Part 2 Date Indicates When Season 8 Might Come
Now that the season 7 part 2 release date is known, one more piece of the puzzle has been added to determine when the final outing for theOutlandercastwill premiere.Season 8 was renewed as the show’s final season in January 2023, so there has been a long wait for viewers to discover how the long-running romance will end. However, the time that this will potentially happen has now become much more clear, based on precedent. Below, see the premiere and finale dates of every season so far, as well as how long the hiatus was between seasons:
6 months, 1 week
9 months, 10 days
14 months, 1 day
10 months, 25 days
12 months, 20 days
21 months, 27 days
13 months, 15 days
TBD
15 months, 11 days
In 2020, season 6 had production issues amid global COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns. This is what led season 7 to be given the largest episode order for the show since season 1, which may have been one reason that its release was split over the next two years. At the time of writing, it is unknown if season 8 will also be a split season, but it seemsmore likely to return to a regular episode order and release patterngiven the precedent set by seasons 2 through 6 and the way they handled adapting theOutlanderbooks.
Discounting the long pandemic-related delay, this makes the average hiatus between seasons roughly 11 months. Presuming that season 7 part 2 airs its eight episodes weekly, it should run its finale by June 17, 2025. Thus, it seems entirely likely that the finalOutlanderseason will air by the end of that year, though its premiere could possibly be delayed into early 2026 depending on when production kicks off.
