‘The Westies’ Episode 7 Release Date and Time
MGM+’s 1980s gangster saga is barreling toward its finale, and the penultimate chapter is almost here. ‘The Westies‘ has spent the summer chronicling the rise and unraveling of Jimmy Roarke’s crew, and episode 7 looks poised to push several storylines past the point of no return.
With only two episodes left in the season, fans are eager to know exactly when the next installment lands and what awaits Roarke, Keenan, and Bridget as their worlds collide.
‘The Westies’ Episode 7 Release Date
Episode 7 of ‘The Westies,’ titled ‘A Boy Made of Trouble,’ is scheduled to premiere on Sunday, August 16, 2026. This follows episode 6, “Rad Tad,” which released on August 9, 2026, and episode 5, “A Right Rose Tree,” which arrived on August 2, 2026.
The show has kept a consistent weekly rhythm since its two episode premiere. The first two episodes of ‘The Westies’ dropped together on July 12, 2026, before the series shifted into a weekly release pattern every Sunday. Season 1 consists of eight episodes total, with the finale set to arrive on August 23, 2026.
What Time Does ‘The Westies’ Episode 7 Come Out?
New episodes of ‘The Westies’ consistently drop at the same hour each week. Episodes air on MGM+ in the United States at 9 p.m. Eastern Time on Sundays, with the series reaching the streaming platform the same day, though the exact upload time can shift slightly depending on the device or distributor.
Viewers checking the schedule internationally should note some variance in listed times. According to one series schedule tracker, episode 7 is set to post at 4 p.m. GMT on August 16, 2026, running approximately 56 minutes. That runtime lines up with the rest of the season, since ‘The Westies’ has generally kept its episodes in the 45 to 55 minute range.
Fans without cable access have several ways to catch the new episode. The series streams directly through MGM+’s own platform, and past episodes have also appeared on services like Philo and Plex, giving viewers multiple entry points into Jimmy Roarke’s world.
‘The Westies’ Season 1 Plot So Far
The series pulls its story from real history while filling in the details with dramatized characters and conflict. ‘The Westies’ focuses on an Irish American gang that carved out its own violent legacy in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen, blending true events with fictional storytelling as rival gangs, law enforcement, and personal loyalties collide in the early 1980s.
Episode 6 left several plots in a precarious state heading into ‘A Boy Made of Trouble.’ Jimmy Roarke borrowed money from Ruby Stein for another cocaine deal meant for a wealthy downtown buyer, only for the arrangement to fall apart, potentially leaving him owing money, missing product, or answering to an impatient new creditor.
Sweeney could use the failed deal as proof that Jimmy still needs his protection, while Gotti may see it as another opportunity to pull Jimmy away from his current boss.
Glenn Keenan’s situation has also grown more dangerous. After Eddie Breen discovered Keenan’s wire and exposed his cooperation with the FBI, Sweeney’s men beat and humiliated him, stripping away whatever protection his history with the gang once offered. The FBI is now pushing Keenan to target an older member of the Westies to pressure Sweeney indirectly, an assignment that could turn personal following Breen’s attack. Meanwhile, Bridget Walsh’s storyline continues to widen the season’s scope well beyond the New York gang war, as her IRA connections pull her toward a target tied to her own past.
“Boy Made of Trouble” Preview and What To Expect
Titles in ‘The Westies’ have leaned into foreshadowing all season, and ‘A Boy Made of Trouble’ is no exception given where episode 6 left things. With Jimmy’s cocaine deal collapsing, Keenan cornered on multiple fronts, and Bridget’s mission finally in motion, the show appears to be setting up its final stretch before the season 1 finale.
The series draws much of its strength from a stacked ensemble working through a morally messy world. The lead roles are played by J. K. Simmons, Titus Welliver, Tom Brittney, Jessica Frances Dukes, Stanley Morgan, Sarah Bolger, Allen Leech, and Hamish Allan-Headley, with Oscar winner Simmons playing the Irish gang leader at the center of the story.
With Roarke’s business unraveling, Keenan boxed in from every direction, and Bridget closing in on her target, ‘A Boy Made of Trouble’ looks like the episode where the Westies’ luck finally starts to run out, and it makes you wonder which member of the crew won’t survive to see the finale.
