Outlander, a twelve-year fantasy romance series that concluded on 15 May 2026 after eight seasons and 101 episodes, continues to dominate global streaming charts four months after its finale. The series finale received critical acclaim, with Season 8 achieving a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, reflecting its sustained cultural relevance and audience appeal.
