HIT show Outlander is on hiatus until it returns for the second part of its seventh and penultimate season.
It’s taking an extended break before the new episodes air in what will be the show’s longest ever season.
Here’s what you need to know.
When will Outlander season seven return?
According to the preview for part two, the show will not return until 2024 although there is yet to be a confirmed airdate.

However, the episodes have already been filmed which means this particular season will not be impacted by the current writers' strike in America.
What about season eight?
The show’s eighth season will be its final one and, unlike season seven, will be impacted by the writer’s strike.
In an interview with Hello! magazine, the show’s executive producer Maril Davis said: “We’re just on hold at the moment. We were in the writers’ room for season eight and the prequel, and now everything’s on hold.
“I hope it gets resolved quickly. I’d like to get back to work with the writers and the actors and obviously our crew, you don’t want anyone to be out of work longer than they have to so I hope it gets back, but it has delayed us.”
What to expect from season seven part two
In a separate interview with Radio Times, Davis said fans can expect some “crazy stuff” in the second half of season seven.
“The first half was so good but I’m so excited for people to see the second half because I think the second half is almost even better”, he said.
“It’s just, there’s so many twists and turns and up and downs and just crazy stuff that happens to our characters.
“If anything, I think we’ve just ratcheted it up one more level for the second half. I’m super excited. I know it’s a while to go potentially till we see that second half but it’s even more exciting probably than the first half.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
