The wait is over for fans of time-traveling epic Outlander with the release of season 7’s long-awaited second part.
It’s now over a year since fans were left with the show’s midseason cliffhanger. That dramatic ending saw Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire Fraser (Caitriona Balfe) returning to their precious homeland of Scotland having left the American Revolutionary War behind them.
This new installment is set to see Jamie and Claire’s marriage tested “like never before” — while their daughter Brianna and her husband Roger (Sophie Skelton and Richard Rankin) are set to face “new enemies across time and must battle the forces that threaten to pull their family apart,” according to this season’s synopsis.
Here’s how you can tune in to all eight episodes of Outlander season 7, part 2. Plus, learn how a virtual private network can come in handy while you stream.

How to Watch Outlander, season 7 with a VPN
So what if you’re traveling outside your home country and want to enjoy the show or want an added layer of privacy for streaming? There is an option that doesn’t require searching the internet for a sketchy website: You can use a VPN, or virtual private network.
With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the show. If you find yourself unable to watch locally, a VPN can come in handy. Plus, it’s a great idea for when you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
Most VPNs, like CNET’s Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it easy to virtually change your location. Looking for other options? Be sure to check out some of the other great VPN deals.
ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN, and it works on a variety of devices. It’s normally $13 per month. But you can save money if you get an annual subscription.
Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Tips for streaming Outlander Season 7, Part 2 using a VPN
- With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — experience and success may vary.
- If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
- If you’re having trouble viewing after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log in to your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is located in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs, like Roku, don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- All the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a network’s app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log in to your services. We normally recommend Brave.
