Outlander fans may be eagerly awaiting Part 2 of the show’s ongoing seventh season, but already the series is in the middle of putting together its eighth and final season at Starz. As we gear up for the beginning of the end of Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie Fraser’s (Sam Heughan) love story in the time-traversing fantasy romance, we’re breaking down everything we know so far from the production and filming process to cast and beyond. When Will Outlander Season 8 Premiere? Considering that Season 7, Part 2 won’t arrive until November 2024, we wouldn’t expect Season 8 to arrive before 2025 or even 2026, but an exact premiere window has yet to be announced. As the show’s prequel spinoff Outlander: Blood of My Blood takes shape, there’s a chance that the new series may arrive before Outlander‘s last chapter, but again, this is mere speculation until Starz announces anything official.

The state of television consistently shifts, and even now, shows become unlikely hits overnight. A series like Baby Reindeer does not seem like a barn burner on its face, yet it defined the months of April and May for Netflix. An appetite is growing for international shows, and Hapless joins the trend of British shows coming stateside. With the release of Hapless on Peacock, showrunner, creator, and director Gary Sinyor sat down with Fandomwire to discuss the comedy series. Along the way, we discussed its roots, his background when approaching the show, and his push to make more Hapless in the future.
The Origins of Hapless
Sinyor had helmed several movies and episodes of television before kicking off Hapless. Sinyor explains, “I think the biggest difference isn’t necessarily between TV and film, but between working with a large crew or working with a very tight small crew. And I...

World Outlander Day brought some significant updates about when the latest droughtlander will be over.
Starz revealed during the big event that Outlander Season 7, part 2, will premiere on Friday, November 22, 2024.
The news means the show will have been off the air for over 15 months by the time it returns.
Although the reason for the lengthy delay has not been determined, the show is already hard at work filming its eighth and final season.
At one point, Starz prioritized Outlander, but it seems the network doesn’t value the show as much as it once did, meaning we could wait a long time for the final episodes.
The good news is that eight new episodes will hit the air later this year, and the latest teaser hints at some big swings in the storytelling department.

What Do We Know About Dune Prophecy? More than you may think. With the second part of Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic science fiction novel a critical and box office success, it is going to be several years before we see the next feature film in the series, Dune Messiah. Luckily, production on the small-screen prequel /spin-off was concurrent with Dune: Part Two which means before the end of the year we are going to return to the fictional realms of Arrakis, Geidi Prime, and more via Max.
While not much in the way of footage has made its way online, there have been quite a few reveals about Dune Prophecy, so let’s jump in and discuss.
Denis Villeneuve is not directing any episodes

School history lessons often skipped the juicy bits of world history, but fortunately, the entertainment industry loves to surprise us. Here are ten must-watch historical dramas for any fan of the genre, all binge-watchable and ready to fill the void Droughtlander left in us.
Visual allure is undeniable in popular series like Outlander and Bridgerton, where the opulence of lavish sets and meticulously crafted period costumes often outweigh practicality.
Creators of historical dramas vary in their approach to authenticity. Some prioritize high realism, enhancing the credibility of narratives, even in fantastical series involving time travel like Outlander.
Others believe in the importance of entertainment value over strict historical accuracy, arguing that dramatic embellishments are essential for engaging storytelling. In this view, historical accuracy serves more as a framework for timeless human stories.
However, even those series that boast of being based on real events do not always stick faithfully to historical facts.

How do Hollywood creators forge massive universes for their characters? For Ronald D. Moore, executive producer of “For All Mankind” and “Outlander,” it all began with the question: What if the Russians landed on the moon first? From this starting point, “For All Mankind” was born. Moore and his team explored their alternate timeline, weaving cultural, societal, and political shifts with historical events, crafting a rich universe for the Apple+ TV series.
Diving deeper into the intricacies of world-building for Variety’s Sony FYC Showcase, Moore was joined on the “Building a Television Universe” panel by “For All Mankind” co-showrunners and exec producers Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi, as well as Maril Davis, who serves as an exec producer on both “For All Mankind” and “Outlander.” Also on the panel: “Justified: City Primeval” co-showrunners and exec producers Michael Dinner and Dave Andron, as well as Sony Pictures TV drama development exec VP Andrew Plotkin.

Something in the Water opens with an attack in a London subway station. Not by a shark on its way to visit relatives at the aquarium, but by a group of homophobes who take objection to Meg and Kayla daring to hold hands in public. It leaves Meg with mental and physical scars, as well as causing the pair to break up.
A year later, Lizzie and Dominic are getting married at a Caribbean resort, reuniting several old friends including Dominic’s sister Cam, Ruth and, much to each other’s dismay, Kayla and Meg. Now that everyone is here, they just need to do something stupid so they can become shark bait. Cam takes care of that by suggesting they all pile into a small motorboat...

As of May 1, 2024, the sixth season of Diana Gabaldon‘s time-traversing fantasy romance series following the story of World War II combat nurse Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and 18th-century Highlander warrior Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), joined the first five streaming on the platform.

With Outlander Season 7 airing on Starz, fans wonder when the latest entry into the historical epic will be released on Netflix.
The Caitríona Balfe-led drama (based on Diana Gabaldon's series of novels) centers on a 1945 World War II nurse who mysteriously finds herself transported back in time to 1743, where she falls in love with a Highland warrior, Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan).
With only two more books to adapt (after Season 7), it remains unknown when Outlander will end. However, with the show's continued popularity beyond its home network of Starz, it could still be long before it is given the hook.

Does your Apple TV+ membership come and go with new seasons of “Ted Lasso”? [Jeff Foxworthy Voice:] Then you might be a “Show-Chaser.”
Serial churners are so 2023 — 2024 is the year of the show-chaser, according to research firm Antenna. These folks currently may be out hunting baby reindeer. In its first four days of availability, “Baby Reindeer” was viewed 2.6 million times, according to Netflix. The following week, its first full one, the limited series from (and starring) Richard Gadd exploded to 13.3 million views — more than a five-fold increase. That tally nearly doubled the next week to 22 million views.
“Baby Reindeer” is a sensation fueled by word of mouth — and by word on TikTok — the type that could singlehandedly bring Netflix some new subscribers. But these hypothetical members are not very likely to stick around; they’re show-chasers, an (at least) semi-undesirable subset of serial churners.

Are you experiencing symptoms of Droughtlander? Signs may include: watching old Outlander episodes over and over, even though you’ve seen them a dozen times already; repeatedly whispering “Sassenach” under your breath in a Scottish brogue, much to your friends’ consternation; toting around one (or more) of author Diana Gabaldon’s books in your bag just to feel something.
Yes, the long wait for new episodes of the series — which stars Caitríona Balfe as English time-traveler Claire and Sam Heughan as her Highlander love, Jamie — can be downright maddening. But, thankfully, there’s some relief to be had. For starters, the first six seasons are streaming on Netflix. And if you’re thirsty for even more of the romance, adventure, and intrigue that Outlander provides, consider these nine shows a refreshing drink of water (or Scotch whisky — we won’t judge).

As summer approaches (for the Northern Hemisphere at least), Netflix is set to premiere a fresh season of one of its biggest hits.
Brigerton season 3 is set to arrive on May 16 and will debut a “new crop of debutantes” into the regency drama fray. Other original series of note this month include Indian drama Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar (May 1), the Jeff Daniels-starring A Man in Full (May 2), and intriguing Korean title The 8 Show (May 17). Of course, Netflix is also rolling out a suite of true crime docs and docuseries as well. Chief among those options is Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal on May 15.
It’s the movie side of things where Netflix is feeling particularly lively though. May 3 sees the arrival of Jerry Seinfeld Pop Tart comedy Unfrosted. That will be followed by rom-com Mother of the Bride (May 9) and the Jennifer Lopez-starring Atlas (May 24).
