Outlander season 7 release schedule: When is episode 9 on Lionsgate+?
The fan-favourite historical drama is now on its mid-season break - but when will season 7 continue?
*CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR OUTLANDER SEASON 7 EPISODES 1-8*
Well, it's finally here. It's the days Outlander fans hoped would never come, when the first half of season 7 finished airing and the long wait for part 2 begins.
Of course, the moment is bittersweet, as fans did get to enjoy that shocking mid-season finale which saw Roger and cousin Buck go back through the stones to time travel back to the 1700s, in order to find Jemmy, who had been taken by Rob.
Meanwhile Jamie (Sam Heughan) was fighting in the Second Battle of Saratoga, with that storyline ending on a more positive note.
Executive producer Maril Davis recently spoke with RadioTimes.com about the criticisms some fans have levelled at this season, with some complaining that Heugan's Jamie and Caitríona Balfe's Claire haven't been as much of a prominent force this season.

Davis said: "I’m kind of surprised by that because-- we can’t always, but we try to follow the books as much as possible, and this really does follow the books.
"Jamie and Claire are always going to be our centre of the wheel, but there are quite a few characters to service and Diana [Gabaldon] has done a great job of doing that throughout this book series, and building characters you want to follow.
"So, it’s impossible to tell Jamie and Claire’s story without telling these other stories."
Of course, there are still eight episodes in the seventh season yet to release, but we are now certainly on the home stretch of the show's run - with an eighth and final season already confirmed.
This will be followed by a prequel show, Outlander: Blood of My Blood, which will tell the love story of Jamie's parents. Sam Heughan recently predicted that "the new show will be just as successful, if not more so".

When is episode 9 of Outlander season 7 on Lionsgate+?
After its season 7 premiere on Friday 16th June 2023 at midnight ET, episodes of Outlander have been released weekly every Friday.
Episode 8 debuted on Friday, 11th August, but now the show has gone on its mid-season break after that shocking cliffhanger.
So when will season 7 episode 9 arrive? Well, we don't have an exact date yet, but it does seem that season 7 part 2 won't arrive until some time in 2024 - meaning that, unfortunately, fans have quite the wait on their hand to get answers to all of their questions.
The show airs on both Starz in the US and Lionsgate+ in the UK. Lionsgate+ is a 'channel' on Amazon Prime Video that will cost you an extra £5.99 per month on top of your Amazon Prime subscription (£7.99 per month).
