Outlander season 7 part 2 release schedule: When is episode 9 on MGM+?

It was quite the lengthy wait for new episodes but fans are set to be rewarded with an inflated season this time round, with the second half of season 7 set to bring twists and turns aplenty.

The mid-season finale was shocking to say the least as fans watched on as Roger and cousin Buck went back through the stones to time travel back to the 1700s, in order to find Jemmy, who had been taken by Rob.

Meanwhile Jamie (Sam Heughan) was fighting in the Second Battle of Saratoga, with that storyline ending on a more positive note as he, Young Ian and Claire made their way back to Scotland.

Executive producer Maril Davis previously spoke with RadioTimes.com about the criticisms some fans have levelled at this season, with some complaining that Heugan's Jamie and Caitríona Balfe's Claire haven't been as much of a prominent force this season.

Davis said: "I’m kind of surprised by that because – we can’t always, but we try to follow the books as much as possible, and this really does follow the books.

"Jamie and Claire are always going to be our centre of the wheel, but there are quite a few characters to service and Diana [Gabaldon] has done a great job of doing that throughout this book series, and building characters you want to follow.

"So, it’s impossible to tell Jamie and Claire’s story without telling these other stories."

Of course, there are still eight new episodes set to land on our screens, with an eighth and final season already confirmed.

This will be followed by a prequel show, Outlander: Blood of My Blood, which will tell the love story of Jamie's parents. Harriet Slater (who plays Jamie's mother Ellen MacKenzie) previously told RadioTimes.com that the new series feels like "two period dramas at once".

But when can we expect the premiere episode of Outlander season 7 part 2? Read on for everything you need to know about the release schedule and when the next episode will be landing on our screens.

Speaking about the future eighth and final season of Outlander, Kathryn Busby, president of original programming at Starz, said: "For nearly a decade, Outlander has won the hearts of audiences worldwide and we’re pleased to bring Claire and Jamie’s epic love story to a proper conclusion.

"But before we close this chapter, there is plenty of their passionate story to tell over the course of 26 new episodes and even more to explore of this dynamic world and its origin story. We’re thrilled to continue to partner with [showrunner] Matthew Roberts, [and executive producers] Maril Davis and Ronald Moore and can’t wait to see where their alluring storytelling takes us next."
