Despite ending on the most stressful cliffhanger in the show's history, it appears that the next episode of Outlander won't be released on Monday as usual. Instead, episode eight, titled Famous Last Words, which air on the following week, and will be available on Amazon Prime from Monday 13 April.
Episode seven ended on a huge cliffhanger
The official Outlander Twitter account confirmed that the next episode would be somewhat delayed, writing: "We are not okay, clan. We need two weeks to recover, so join us back here next Sunday for an #Outlander season 5 marathon." Needless to say that fans were disappointed by the news, with one writing: "Why?? We're all trapped in quarantine, why would you do this to us?" Another added: "We really don’t NEED two weeks. We really need to know what is going on NEXT week." A third person tweeted: "TWO WEEKS IS TOO LONG TO BE LEFT ALONE WITH ALL THIS EMOTION."
