The total 2.09 million viewers in Live+Same day beats Outlander’s previous most-watched episode, which was “The Wedding” back in Season 1, which was viewed by 2.04 million viewers.
The Season 3 premiere beating “The Wedding” is a sign that there are still plenty of people invested in Jamie and Claire, separately and together.
Beating “The Wedding” is actually a pretty big win for the Season 3 premiere, all things considered.
The episode was a big deal for the plot of the first season and a huge deal for readers of the Outlander book saga.
