For fans eagerly anticipating the next installment, here’s what you need to know about watching Outlander season eight, episode three, titled “Abies Fraseri.” The Daily Record provides insights into what viewers can expect in the upcoming episode.
Set to be available on Saturday, March 21, fans in the UK can catch the latest episode on the streaming platform MGM+ via Prime Video. While the exact release time remains unconfirmed, it’s anticipated to drop around midnight.
Previously, an Outlander fan had inquired about the release schedule for season seven, part two, which is slated to come out in 2024, highlighting the show’s dedicated and eager fan base.
The streaming platform has not confirmed the exact time, but it is believed to be around midnight on the day of release.
An Outlander fan previously enquired when they could watch season seven, part two, back in 2024.
The official MGM account clarified, as per TV Guide UK: “I’ve checked and Outlander will drop in the UK as soon as it’s Saturday… (i.e. 00:01) so you can stay up late on Friday night to catch it first but no need for the 5am alarm.”
Meanwhile, in America, Abies Fraseri will be made available on the Starz app at midnight Eastern Standard Time (ET) on Friday, March 20.
Episode three will then be broadcast on Starz at 8pm ET on the day of release and will be repeated a couple more times.

What will happen in Outlander season 8, episode 3?
The episode synopsis for Abies Fraseri reads: “A new neighbor [sic] relies on the Frasers for help, and Jamie exposes a false ally. William looks into the mysterious circumstances of his cousin’s death.”
Starz also unveiled a brief preview, which depicted Jamie Fraser (portrayed by Sam Heughan) confronting someone and cautioning: “I will not tolerate actions that will threaten the Ridge.”
The teaser transitions to Roger MacKenzie (Richard Rankin), Brianna MacKenzie (Sophie Skelton) and Claire strategising with Jamie.
Roger elucidates: “The British hold the city and where there are armies, there are guns.”
A man then declares: “You’ve put all of us in danger.”

His words are interspersed with Jamie kneeling down to examine two deceased men.
Claire will persist in aiding others at her surgery as Jamie tells her: “You are a brilliant healer.”
However, Claire and Jamie share a heated moment when it appears Lord John Grey’s (David Berry) fleeting marriage to the 20th century time traveller becomes a bone of contention once again.
Claire states: “You can’t love someone if you won’t forgive them.”
But Jamie refuses to yield: “I may do something I regret.”
The preview concludes with Jamie inspecting a musket, as it seems he could be pointing the pistol at Lord John at some point.
Outlander season 8 airs on Starz in the USA on Fridays and on MGM+ via Prime Video in the UK on Saturdays
