Outlander season 7 episode 16 (finale): Release date & time, where to watch, what to expect, and more
For those eager to see what's next for Claire and Jamie Fraser in the seventh season of Outlander, the series finale, Outlander season 7 episode 16 won't be coming to streaming until Friday, January 17, 2025. That said, the short break has been the norm for Outlander fans as every season has had the same break, either at mid-point or ahead of the finale.
While it will only be a short one-week break, the cliffhanger from Outlander season 7 episode 15 left fans worried for the show's heroine. Claire's life was put on the line in the final scenes of the previous episode and Jamie was beside himself thinking that there's 50-50 chance that Claire won't make it through.
Another life was on the line—Jane Pocock—after Fanny told William that her older sister was captured because someone knew her as Harkness' killer from the brothel. The upcoming Outlander season 7 episode 16 is expected to answer the questions of whether Dr. Hunter can save Claire from dying and if William can save Jane from being hanged.
When will Outlander season 7 episode 16 release?
Outlander has opted for a one-week break just after the penultimate episode. It means Outlander season 7 episode 16, the finale, will air on Friday, January 17, 2025. Interested fans can tune in that day at 5:00 PM Pacific Time or 8:00 PM Eastern Standard Time to watch the episode as it airs.

A brief recap of Outlander season 7 episode 15
Outlander season 7 episode 15 saw Lord John Grey and young Ian save William from the Hessians. However, tragic news awaited William back at the camp because Franny told him that the soldiers had taken Jane for killing Captain Harkness.
Meanwhile, the battle of Monmouth was ongoing. Jamie Fraser came out of the war unscathed, but when he returned to where Claire was tending to the injured soldiers, a commotion started between the American soldiers and the retreating redcoats.
Claire was shot in the stomach, leaving her bleeding and fighting for her life, with the young Dr. Denzell being the only one who could save her. However, the episode ended before Claire's fate was sealed.
What to expect in Outlander season 7 episode 16
At the time of writing, Starz hasn't shared an official teaser for the upcoming Outlander season 7 episode 16 yet, which is understandable as it won't be coming until two weeks. That said, the episode synopsis and the events from the previous episode set the stage for what fans can expect from the finale.
The synopsis for episode 16, which is titled A Hundred Thousand Angels, reads:
"Denzell must perform a dangerous operation with the skills he's learned from Claire. William asks for help from an unexpected source in his mission to save Jane."
Claire's life lies in Dr. Denzell Hunter's hands, and per the previous episode's cliffhanger, it's unsure whether Claire will live through the surgery or if she will make a full recovery. Meanwhile, William is racing against time to save Jane from being hanged for killing Captain Harkness.
