Outlander: Blood of My Blood – A Prequel Woven in War, Love, and Legacy

"Before Claire and Jamie, there were Ellen and Brian... Julia and Henry. And their love stories were just as fated, just as fiery."

Star-crossed romance, high-stakes history, and the eternal pull of time—Outlander has always delivered unforgettable stories of passion across centuries. Now, its world grows even deeper with the highly anticipated Outlander: Blood of My Blood, a prequel series premiering on Starz on August 8, 2025. Developed by Outlander showrunner Matthew B. Roberts, this new chapter is not just a nostalgic origin tale—it's a fully-fledged, ten-episode saga exploring the two great love stories that birthed the legendary Jamie Fraser and the time-traveling Claire Beauchamp.

🩸 Two Eras, Two Love Stories, One Fate

The magic of Blood of My Blood lies in its parallel structure—unfolding not one, but two intertwined love stories.

🇬🇧 England, World War I

We meet Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield), a fiercely independent woman living amidst the horror of the Great War. Her life is forever changed when she meets Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine), a compassionate yet duty-bound British soldier. As they navigate a crumbling world, their bond grows deeper—until fate intervenes in a most Outlander-esque way. A trailer released in July hints at a time travel twist that could link Julia’s story directly to the 18th century.

🏴 Scotland, 18th Century Highlands

In the wild, wind-swept Highlands, Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) dares to defy her clan’s expectations for love. She’s drawn to Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy), a man beneath her station, but strong in honor and heart. Their romance sparks tension across clans, especially with the presence of iconic Outlander figures like Lord Lovat, Dougal MacKenzie, and Colum MacKenzie.

“She was fire and thunder. He was stone and steel. Together, they made something eternal.”

👥 Cast: New Faces, Familiar Legends

Blood of My Blood introduces a rich ensemble of characters, blending newcomers with familiar surnames that Outlander fans will immediately recognize:

• Harriet Slater as Ellen MacKenzie – the matriarch with fire in her soul

• Jamie Roy as Brian Fraser – Jamie’s stoic and romantic father

• Hermione Corfield as Julia Moriston – Claire’s witty and brave mother

• Jeremy Irvine as Henry Beauchamp – a soldier with secrets

• Tony Curran as Lord Lovat – a force of manipulation and pride

• Rory Alexander as Murtagh Fraser – young, loyal, and fiercely protective

• Sara Vickers as Davina Porter – Brian Fraser’s mother and housekeeper to the Lovats

• Brian McCardie as Isaac Grant – in his final on-screen role before his tragic passing in 2024

• Peter Mullan as Red Jacob MacKenzie – the Laird with a violent past

These performances are expected to carry not just the emotional weight of their own stories, but the foreshadowing of the destinies that will one day unfold in Outlander itself.

🕳️ Time Travel Returns… But With a Twist?

One of the most exciting surprises in the series trailer is the reveal of a new time-travel element—this time, potentially involving Claire’s parents. While Claire herself was the central time traveler in Outlander, her parents may have secrets of their own. Could the roots of Claire’s gift (or curse) go deeper than anyone suspected?

“History repeats itself... unless someone rewrites it.”

🎬 A Love Letter to Outlander Fans

With lush production filmed across Scotland, Outlander: Blood of My Blood promises all the hallmarks of the franchise—breathtaking landscapes, intense political conflict, forbidden love, and a deep reverence for history. But it’s also an emotionally intimate series about inheritance, family, and the mysterious bonds that span lifetimes.

It’s a show that asks: Before they were heroes, who loved them first?

📺 Release Date & Renewal News

The first season of Outlander: Blood of My Blood premieres on Starz on August 8, 2025, and will run for ten episodes. In a strong vote of confidence, the series has already been renewed for a second season, ensuring that this rich prequel universe will continue to blossom.
