When will Outlander season 4 be released?
The Droughtlander continues, unfortunately.
Season four of Outlander still doesn’t have a concrete release date.
However, the series’ producers Starz did confirm that the release date will be in November 2018.
Although this is a little later than fans were expecting, it is still reassuring to know what month it will be back.
Fan site Fansided reports that the latest block of filming wrapped last month, so it’s likely the series is in its post-production stages.
The series has also been renewed for a fifth and sixth season already, meaning there is going to be at least three full seasons of Claire and Jamie Fraser to look forward to.
Season four will consist of 13 episodes in total.
It will air on Amazon Prime Video in the UK and Starz in the US.
Episodes usually drop on Amazon a day after their initial US release.

“Finally, they’re not being ripped from home or made to travel across oceans,” she told Elle.
“They actually settle, and it's a different dynamic, and it's nice to explore that. Like, what is this relationship when it's normal? Because we haven't really had that.”
A number of new characters from the books are set to be brought to life.
