dailyrecord.co.uk:

Outlander boss Maril Davis has responded to backlash about season seven being halted midway through. Only a handful of episodes of the new series were released, with a long wait still ahead.Viewers are forced to sit tight for the second half of the instalment, which saw fans sit in a 'droughtlander' for over a year.

The other episodes are set to be released this coming November but fans have fumed over the 'unfair' wait.Responding to the reaction of fans of the hit Starz show, executive producer Maril Davis explained she does what she's "told" and that the decision to split season seven in two wasn't her choice.

She advised fans to 'buckle up' for what lies ahead.“I get a lot of questions about this online and unfortunately, this is completely out of my hands, it’s more of a STARZ decision and they obviously have their reasons for doing it, that's a little above my pay grade!," the show’s executive producer Maril Davis told Hello!"We just go in and we do what we're told, we weren't told in the beginning that there would be a break although we imagined there would be, there was probably going to be, but didn't know for sure."She added that she was aware of a planned break, explaining: "We certainly built it assuming it would [break] after the eighth episode.

I know it's really hard for fans. I don’t know all of the reasons that these splits are done. But all I can say is buckle your seat belt.
