The seventh season of "Outlander" ends in the 2025 TV schedule on January 17, concluding the adventures of Claire and Jamie Fraser on the small screen until Season 8. Losing Sam Heughan as Jamie for the foreseeable future doesn't mean that the actor will be absent from Starz, though, and the network actually scheduled the long-awaited premiere of his spicy new show for immediately after the "Outlander" Season 7 finale. Speaking with CinemaBlend, Heughan explained why "Outlander" fans should stick around Starz to check out "The Couple Next Door's" premiere.

The end of one show's season and premiere of another's line up thanks to "Outlander" taking a break ahead of the finale, and fans who watch Sam Heughan as Jamie live on Starz on Friday nights at 8 p.m. ET can next find him at 9:05 p.m. ET for his debut as the dashing Danny on "The Couple Next Door," without even changing the channel. Not only do Danny and his wife Becka (Jessica De Gouw) introduce their new neighbors Evie (Eleanor Tomlinson) and Pete (Alfred Enoch) to the idea of an open relationship on "The Couple Next Door," but Heughan's traffic cop character has a dark secret to keep.
