Outlander season 8 release schedule: When is episode 2 on MGM+?

Outlander fans have been eagerly anticipating, yet also apprehensive about, this week. New episodes of the popular show are finally here, but unfortunately, they mark the end of the series.

As a huge fan, I’m already bracing myself for the eighth and final season – it’s going to be a really emotional goodbye to the characters we’ve all come to love. Of course, Sam Heughan and Caitríona Balfe will be back as Jamie and Claire, leading the story one last time.

Everyone is curious about how Outlander will end, even though the show isn’t over yet. Executive producer Maril Davis explained to TopMob and other media that while the entire series is important, the final episode is what viewers will likely remember most, as it’s the last impression the show will leave.
