Attention fans! Droughtlander is nearly over and the new season of Outlander is on the way. Here is everything we know so far about Outlander Season 7.
After months of deliberation among the fandom, the Starz network has finally shed some light on the topic of the potential release date of the much-anticipated seventh season of the historical drama television series “Outlander.” Yes, dear readers, you read that correctly, and we are delighted to inform you that WE FINALLY HAVE A PREMIERE DATE!
The series is set to make its return this summer season on Friday, June 16, 2023, at midnight ET via streaming and internationally on the Lionsgate+ premium streaming platform in the UK. On the other hand, for linear viewers, the show premieres on the same day, at 8 p.m. ET/PT in the U.S. New episodes will be released every Friday.
We have also learned that this season will be split into two parts, with the second part debuting sometime in 2024. If you recall, Season 7 will consist of 16 episodes, which will be divided into two halves. So, it will be exciting to see how the story progresses before delving into the recently renewed ten-episode eighth and final season, which will finally bring the series to a close after such a long run.
Moreover, the network has also released the new first-look pictures from Outlander Season 7 which is based on the Outlander novel series by Diana Gabaldon.
