Outlander season 8 release schedule: When is episode 7 on MGM+?
It's time to say goodbye to Outlander.
Just four episodes of Outlander remain before we bid farewell to one of the most enduring period dramas of modern times, but the drama isn't relenting as we near the season finale.
This week's instalment, titled Blessed Are the Merciful, sees the relationship between Rachel (Izzy Meikle-Small) and Ian (John Bell) take a turn for the worse, as it becomes apparent that the latter is not truly willing to leave his tribe behind.
On the twist, Meikle-Small told TVLine: "I think it was her worst fear. And he's just come out and said it, with absolutely no cushioning, in front of loads of people. And she's just sat there, taking it in. It's a gut punch."
Meanwhile, Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe) consider taking the drastic action of a mass eviction after facing rebellion at Fraser's Ridge. Or can a more diplomatic solution be found?
If you can't get enough of Outlander, read on for details on when to expect the next episode of season 8 – plus the full release schedule for this final run on MGM+.
