‘Outlander: Blood of My Blood’ Season 2 Episode 8 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch and Preview

The next installment of ‘Outlander: Blood of My Blood’ arrives on Friday, Nov. 6, under the title “The Dance.” The schedule lists it as the eighth chapter of the new season. It lands as the Starz prequel moves into the closing stretch of its latest run.

The series follows the parents of Jamie and Claire as they fight clan loyalties, war and time itself to be together. Here is what viewers need to know about the new ‘Outlander: Blood of My Blood’ episode, including when it streams, where to watch, and what the available teasers suggest.

‘The Dance’ Release Date and Season Schedule

The new season premiered on Friday, Sept. 18, with an opener titled “Remembrance Day.” The season runs for 10 episodes in total, which gives the story room to develop its two timelines across the autumn.

The episode before this one, “Heart of the Highlands,” is scheduled for Oct. 30. “The Dance” follows one week later on Nov. 6, keeping the weekly Friday rhythm the show has maintained since its return.

Despite what some search phrasing suggests, this is not the finale. The closing chapter is titled “Twelfth Night.” Published schedules disagree slightly on the final dates. One guide places the penultimate episode on Nov. 13 and the finale on Nov. 20, while another lists the finale for Nov. 30.

Starz revealed the premiere date alongside a new trailer on World Outlander Day, which falls on June 1. That announcement followed the end of the parent series, which wrapped in May 2026 after eight seasons and 101 episodes.

Release Time for the New Episode

New episodes drop on the Starz app and Starz streaming platforms at 12 a.m. ET on Fridays. For viewers who like to watch as early as possible, that midnight window is the first opportunity to see “The Dance.”

The same episodes also air at 8 p.m. ET on the linear Starz channel. Anyone who prefers a traditional broadcast can wait for that evening slot instead.

International viewers should plan around the time difference. A guide to an earlier episode placed its arrival around 4 a.m. GMT, 9.30 a.m. IST and 12 p.m. SGT on the following day. The same pattern would be expected for the Nov. 6 installment.

Each episode is expected to run roughly an hour. That makes it an easy fit for a weekly viewing routine, whether it happens after midnight or on Friday night.

Where to Watch the Series

In the United States, the show streams on Starz and the Starz app, with new episodes arriving on Fridays. A subscription to the network is the most direct route to every episode.

Starz is also available as a premium add-on on supported platforms, including Prime Video. Viewers who already manage their subscriptions through that service can add the channel without switching apps.

Newcomers do not need to start from nothing. The first season is still streaming on Starz for anyone who wants to catch up before the new episodes. The series carries a TV-MA rating, so it is best suited to adult audiences.

Availability differs by region. Australian viewers were told the new season would stream exclusively on Stan. Anyone outside the United States should check their local provider for the exact release time.

A Preview of What the Story Is Building Toward

Plot details for “The Dance” have not been spelled out in the listings available so far, so the title is the main clue. What is clear is the structure the series has used all along. The saga moves from the battlefields of World War I to the rugged Highlands of eighteenth century Scotland, following two couples who must defy the forces trying to tear them apart.

The teasers released after earlier episodes offer small signals about the tone. One preview showed Bug telling Henry that he should have run when he had the chance, while a seer says death’s call must be answered. Another showed Colum telling his wife that he did everything his family asked of him and worrying they will be ruined.

Those glimpses show characters weighing duty against fear, a theme that sits comfortably alongside the clan loyalties and war the season is built around. They also suggest the stakes are rising as the finale approaches, though the series has not confirmed how any of those threads will resolve.

Hermione Corfield and Jeremy Irvine play the Beauchamp couple, while Harriet Slater and Jamie Roy portray the parents of Jamie Fraser. Matthew B. Roberts remains showrunner for the prequel. With Henry and Julia’s fight against time and Brian and Ellen’s fight to stay together both still in motion, which couple do you think faces the harder road when “The Dance” arrives?
