Last year, Outlander season 6 was finally added to Netflix in the US, following a global rollout in previous years. We can now finally confirm that Netflix US will be picking up season 7 in August 2025, but with the caveat that it’s expected to be only the first batch of episodes, and that the wait for part 2, unlike most of Netflix around the world, will be a long one. The wait for season 8 of Outlander will be even longer.
Netflix has been streaming Outlander in international regions since 2016, and Netflix in the United States joined the action in 2019. The series is released in three stages on Netflix, as outlined below. Netflix in the United Kingdom doesn’t stream Outlander in any capacity, and the rights are tied to MGM+, which streams seasons 1-7.
In case you didn’t know, season 7 of Outlander has been split into two halves. The first aired between June and August 2023, while the second half (consisting of another eight episodes) is scheduled to air on November 22nd, 2024, eventually wrapping up on January 17th, 2025.
Season 8, confirmed to be the final season, is expected in 2025 and is based on Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone and parts of the tenth and final novel in the series. That said, spin-offs are currently in development. Although Sony Pictures Television is behind that series, it’s unclear whether Netflix will license it like it does with Outlander.
Weekly Rollout of Outlander Season 7 Parts 1 and 2 in Select Regions
There are three stages of the rollout of Outlander season 7 on Netflix. Those who have already received weekly episodes and will again get season 7 part 2 weekly from November 23rd, 2024, include:
- Belgium
- France
- Hong Kong
- India
- Japan
- Malaysia
- Poland
- Portugal
- Romania
- Singapore
- Slovakia
- Switzerland
- South Korea
Other International Territories Will Have to Wait Until 2025 for Outlander Season 7 Part 2
Countries like Australia and Canada don’t get weekly episodes; instead, they have to wait between 11 and 12 months for new seasons to be added. This means the next eight episodes won’t drop until around October or November 2025.
Other regions that will have to wait until after the series has wrapped up include the Netherlands, Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, Mexico, and Sweden.

When will Netflix in the US Stream Season 7 of Outlander?
Netflix in the United States is and continues to be the last to get new seasons of Outlander. Since 2019, Netflixers in the United States have had to wait two years after each season finale airs. For Season 6, the series finale aired on May 1, 2022, and was then released on Netflix on May 1, 2024.
The first half of Season 7 aired its finale on August 11, 2023, meaning we’re not expecting those eight episodes to drop on Netflix US until August 11, 2025 which is now confirmed by Netflix’s app. The wait for part 2 will be another agonizing wait, with the following episodes expected to land on Netflix US on January 17, 2027.
If you need to catch up on new episodes before then, the series is available in full on Starz and the Starz app. As for season 8, you’ll likely be waiting beyond 2027.
