STARZ AUGUST 2023 HIGHLIGHTS
The Originals available as part of the Starz August 2023 schedule.
MEN IN KILTS: A ROADTRIP WITH SAM AND GRAHAM SEASON 2
Join Outlander stars Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish as they travel down under and hit the road again for a four-episode second season – this time in the adventure capital of the world: New Zealand.
The fun-filled travel docuseries Men in Kilts: A Roadtrip with Sam and Graham returns August 11 with new episodes available to stream weekly on Fridays at midnight on the Starz app, all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms and will air weekly on the Starz linear platform at 9:30 pm ET/PT in the U.S. It will be available on Lionsgate+ in the U.K. and Ireland.
OUTLANDER SEASON 7
The first half of Outlander season seven wraps up on August 11 with the mid-season finale available at midnight ET on the Starz app, all Starz streaming and on-demand platforms and internationally on the Lionsgate+ premium streaming platform in the U.K. and Ireland, and linearly at 8:00 PM ET/PT in the U.S.
In the seventh season of Outlander, Jamie, Claire, and their family are caught in the violent birth pains of an emerging nation as armies march to war and British institutions crumble in the face of armed rebellion. The land the Frasers call home is changing – and they must change with it. In order to protect what they’ve built, the Frasers have to navigate the perils of the Revolutionary War.
They learn that sometimes to defend what you love, you have to leave it behind. As the conflict draws them out of North Carolina and into the heart of this fight for independence, Jamie, Claire, Brianna, and Roger are faced with impossible decisions that have the potential to tear their family apart.
MINX SEASON 2
Minx season two continues with new episodes available Fridays at midnight (ET) on the Starz app, all Starz streaming and on-demand platforms. On linear, they will air on Starz at 9:00PM ET/PT in the U.S. and Canada.
Set in 1970s Los Angeles, Minx centers around Joyce (Ophelia Lovibond), an earnest young feminist who joins forces with a low-rent publisher (Jake Johnson) to create the first erotic magazine for women. In season two, Doug and Joyce grapple with Minx’s explosive success, which brings more money, fame and temptation than either of them know how to handle.
HEELS SEASON 2
Heels season two continues with new episodes available Fridays at midnight (ET) on the Starz app, all Starz streaming and on-demand platforms. On linear, they will air on STarz at 10:00PM ET/PT in the U.S. and Canada.
Heels is a story about the men and women who chase their dreams in the world of small-town pro wrestling. Set in a close-knit Georgia community, it follows a family-owned wrestling organization where two brothers and rivals, Jack (Stephen Amell) and Ace Spade (Alexander Ludwig), are at war over their late father’s legacy and their individual versions of success, while also working to find their own identity as a “face” or a “heel.”
In wrestling, a “heel” is a common term used to describe the antagonist or villain in the ring, however, the line between hero and heel is much less clear for this sibling rivalry outside of the ring.
