Fans who have been lying in wait for the final season of Outlander have gotten their fix of Scottish time travel and romance with Blood of My Blood. The prequel to the hit STARZ series tells the origin story of the parents of both Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) and Claire Beauchamp (Caitríona Balfe) and their respective dramatic relationships. The previous episode ended on quite the cliffhanger, with Henry (Jeremy Irvine) and Julia (Hermione Corfield) set to make their escape. Unfortunately, fans will have to wait a bit longer, as the series will be skipping a week before the finale.
Here’s why Outlander: Blood of My Blood isn’t on tonight, and when the next episode will be.

Think of it as STARZ’s way to build anticipation and hype before what is sure to be a pulse-pounding ending.
When will Outlander: Blood of My Blood be on next?
While we’ll have a week without a new episode of Blood of My Blood, the hiatus will be short-lived. The Season 1 finale of Outlander: Blood of My Blood will air Friday, Oct. 10 on STARZ.
