It’s official! Outlander: Blood of My Blood is set to premiere in the Summer of 2025. After the Outlander Season 7 finale aired on January 17, 2025, fans are anticipating the eighth and final season of the original series. But while that is in the works, STARZ has just released a trailer for the upcoming prequel series which dives into the origins of the Outlander saga. Outlander; Blood of My Blood will hit the screens before Outlander Season 1 and focus on Jamie and Claire’s parents.
The first teaser trailer for Outlander: Blood of My Blood was released on January 16, 2025. It opens with Claire’s father, Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvin) addressing Claire’s mother, Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield), and declaring: “I have decided to call you my hope.” This sets the stage for the prequel’s exploration of the dual love stories of the parents of Outlander’s central couple against the backdrop of 18th-century Scotland and World War I. Jamie Roy and Harriet Slater will take on the roles of Jamie’s parents, Brian Fraser and Ellen Mackenzie. According to the trailer, these two love stories are “connected by time, loyalty, desire, passion, destiny.”
Outlander: Blood of My Blood Season 1 will consist of 10 episodes. The show will feature younger versions of fan-favorite Outlanders characters including Murtagh Fitzgibbons Fraser (Rory Alexander), Mrs. Fitz (Sally Messham) Colum (Séamus McLean Ross), Ned Gowan (Conor MacNeill) and Brian’s father, the infamous Lord Lovat, Simon Fraser (Tony Curran). While the trailer reveals that the prequel series will premiere in the Summer of 2025, an exact date has not been announced.
