How long will this glorious journey last? In other words, just how many episodes are in the current season?
Season 7: An Epic Split!
Alright, buckle up, because Season 7 of Outlander is doing things a little differently. Think of it like your favorite pizza being cut into two delicious halves. You get one now, and the other… later!
Exactly how many slices (episodes) are we talking about? Season 7 is split into two parts, with a grand total of 16 episodes.
Part 1: The First Course
Part 1, which already aired, gave us a wonderful eight episodes. We saw the Fraser family facing battles, both political and personal. Let’s just say, it was a wild ride filled with dramatic twists and turns!

Part 2: The Main Event (Coming Soon!)
The second half of Season 7, also clocking in at eight episodes, will air sometime in 2024. Yes, I know, waiting is the worst! But trust me, good things come to those who wait and re-watch the previous episodes eleventy-billion times. (We’ve all been there, right?).
This upcoming installment promises even more adventure, romance, and historical drama. Prepare for emotional rollercoasters, folks!
Why the Split?
You might be wondering, "Why the heck did they split the season?" Well, making a show as epic as Outlander takes a LOT of time and effort. From the intricate costumes to the stunning locations, everything is meticulously crafted.
Splitting the season allows the production team to ensure the highest quality for each and every episode. Plus, it gives us all something to look forward to! Think of it as the TV gods giving us a little treat to keep us going.
So, to Recap...
Let's break it down one last time so there is no confusion. Season 7 of Outlander has a total of 16 episodes.
Eight aired in Part 1 and eight more are coming in Part 2 in 2024. That’s a whole lot of Jamie and Claire to love!
Now that you know how many episodes to expect, you can plan your viewing schedule accordingly. Stock up on your favorite snacks (maybe some shortbread to honor the Scottish heritage!), settle in, and prepare to be transported to another time and place. Happy watching!
