The midseason finale of Outlander season 7 has left fans in a state of Droughtlander, as they eagerly await the return of the show. The first half of the season consisted of eight episodes, drawing from Diana Gabaldon's sixth and seventh books. The storylines in the midseason finale reached a climax, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.

Unfortunately, fans will have to wait until 2024 for the second half of season 7 to hit screens.

The exact premiere date is yet to be confirmed, but if the show follows the pattern of the first block, it is likely to debut in the summer of next year. The good news is that filming for season 7 has already wrapped, so the SAG-AFTRA strike shouldn't affect the production. However, there may be potential delays in post-production due to the strikes.

Once the second half of season 7 airs, fans can expect weekly episodes. And when the series eventually wraps up, viewers can look forward to the spin-off series, Blood of My Blood.

This prequel will delve into the epic love story of Jamie's parents, based on material from Gabaldon's books.

In the meantime, fans can catch up on season 7, part 1, which is currently streaming on Starz and Lionsgate+. The wait may be long, but Outlander enthusiasts have plenty to look forward to.
