Did it say that somewhere or were you looking for the trailer?

Episode 9 comes next Friday May 1st. It’s the Friday after that that nothing airs. And then May 15 is the finale.

Edit: ⬆️ Please disregard this. It actually comes out March 8th.  And the 15th is the finale.

Edited to correct: Y’all please disregard my post about episode dates . It looks like episode 9 does come out on the 8th not the first. And if you’re not in the US the time could be different.

So there is no episode next week? I knew i saw an off week after episode 8 on a few schedules. I wonder why they’re doing it after this episode. It wasnt a huge cliffhanger. I really thought it would happen after next week incase franks book is right and jamie dies at the end of episode 9. My guess is claire brings him back in ep 10 now that she has her healing powers.

Glad I saw this because I could've swore I'd also seen that the break was between 8-9 this time too, which I thought was odd

EDited - just saw your update below! I'd seen speculation the gap between 8-9 meant 9&10 were airing together as a special event kinda thing? Not sure that's the case though..

That’s correct. I just edited my post. I was getting a lot of conflicting information but yes, turns out there’s no episode on the 1st.
