Remains unclear about Outlander , as the only Starz/Lionsgate+ region where it was available outside the US was the UK.

Amazon bought up all the rights to Lionsgate stuff for most of Europe this year for their MGM+ service. This excluded the UK. I saw this as a possible prelude to Amazon buying Lionsgate, but even if this doesn't happen, it would make sense for Amazon to buy the UK rights to Lionsgate stuff too.

Lionsgate has been trying to split itself, separating the studio from the streamer. If they're successful, then the studio bit will be attractive to someone like Amazon.
