Outlander season seven, episode 16, is the grand finale of the penultimate series and fans are eager to find out how it will all end.
The penultimate series of Outlander is nearing its conclusion but when exactly will the final episode of season seven be released?
The return of the Starz and MGM+ series for the second half of season seven in November was a mixed blessing, as it signalled that fans are inching closer to the end of the show, with just one more season left to air.
Despite this, many were eager to see how the seventh series would conclude, with new episodes typically being released every Friday in both the UK and the US.
However, viewers were disappointed to discover that episode 16 wouldn’t be released this week on Friday, January 10, as anticipated.
Why didn’t Outlander season seven episode 16 air this week?
The airing of Outlander season seven, episode 16, has been postponed this week due to the awards season, which has pushed back the romantic period drama.
Instead, the seventh annual Critics Choice Celebration of Black Cinema and Television was broadcast, followed by the 2023 film Plane.
When will the Outlander season 7 finale air?
Fear not, though, as the wait for the grand finale won’t be long.
It’s been confirmed that Outlander season seven, episode 16, A Hundred Thousand Angels, will be released next Friday, January 17, on Starz and MGM+ via Prime Video in the US and UK, respectively.
The seventh season of the series, which kicked off in June 2023, is set to wrap up with a much-anticipated finale. After the penultimate episode’s cliffhanger, fans are on tenterhooks to see how the final chapter unfolds.
In the midst of a chaotic clash between the Continental armies at the hospital and retreating British soldiers, Claire Fraser, portrayed by Caitriona Balfe, found herself in harm’s way and was shot.
Despite remaining conscious, Claire quickly grasped that she couldn’t recover from her injury alone and required expert assistance – something the head of the Continental field hospital was sorely lacking.
Enter Denzell Hunter, played by Joey Phillips, who had been tutored extensively by Claire in advanced medical techniques.
Together, they surmised that the bullet was likely lodged in her liver and needed extraction, with Claire assuring Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughsn) that she wouldn’t abandon him.
However, as she slipped into unconsciousness, the episode concluded with Denzell poised to follow Claire’s directives. The question remains: will he manage to save her in time?
