‘Outlander’ Season 4 Air Date, Spoilers: Can Late Premiere Increase the Shows Chances of Winning at the Golden Globes?

With “Outlander” Season 4 scheduled to premiere later than usual on Nov. 4, one can’t help but wonder if the producers deliberately planned this so the show will drop closer to the Golden Globes voting window opens. But will they benefit from this? Well, the team at CarterMatt seems to think so.

“We do think there is some benefit that comes along with recency, as this show will be on the minds of voters in a way that other shows that premiered earlier in the year may not. We’ve seen shows like The Affair benefit in the past from premiering right around the Globes voting window. There’s that extra bump because of premiere press and you do have to take that into account.”

Of course, a late premiere is not without its risks. As noted by CarterMatt, there may not be enough episodes of “Outlander” Season 4 to sway the voters before the window closes. However, this isn’t expected to make much of an impact on the show’s chances of taking home an award or two.

In other news, some of the main cast members are going to make an appearance at the New York Comic Con on Saturday, Oct. 6, so be sure to check that out.

Starz and The Savannah College of Art and Design have also announced that “Outlander” Season 4 Episode 1 will premiere at the SCAD Savannah Film Festival first on Oct. 28 – a week before its television premiere on Nov. 4.

Meanwhile, rumors have indicated that Brianna Randall’s (Sophie Skelton) romance with Roger Wakefield (Richard Rankin) will continue to grow in “Outlander” Season 4 as she continues to look for proof that his parents found each other again when her mother, Claire (Caitriona Balfe), left her went back in time to reunite with her father, James (Sam Heughan). Recent set photos released by IGN show that Brianna and Roger are going to spend some time together at a Scottish Festival.
