Outlander, which was adapted from Diana Gabaldon’s bestselling book series, originally aired its first season in 2014. The story follows World War Two medic Claire (Caitriona Balfe) who is transported 200 years into the past while honeymooning with her husband Frank (The Crown’s Tobias Menzies) and falls in love with a dashing Highlander, Jamie (Sam Heughan).
The mystical show set in both the 18th and 20th centuries has amassed a devoted fanbase over the years, with the eighth and final season expected to come out by the end of 2025. But for UK viewers hoping to do rewatch it from the very beginning after season seven dropped this month – we have bad news.

Season one, which secured an impressive 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, will no longer be available to watch with an Amazon Prime Video subscription from the end of January. That means viewers have just a few days left to watch the first 16 episodes of the show before having to buy an additional MGM Plus subscription if they want to watch from the very start.
Seasons two to seven have already moved over to MGM Plus, so are only available to watch with the Prime add-on (coming in at a further £4.49 a month). There has been plenty of praise for the show over the years, with fans dubbing it ‘addictive’, ‘excellent’ and ‘one of the best shows they’ve ever seen’.
