Outlander: Blood of My Blood Premiere Date Revealed by STARZ

It’s official: Outlander fans are finally getting the long-awaited love story that gave us the best television couple in recent times with Outlander: Blood of My Blood.

Outlander: Blood of My Blood will premiere on Friday, August 8, at 8/7c on Starz. New episodes will air weekly.

The series will offer fans a deeper look into the history of the bloodline of Jamie and Claire Fraser, the iconic couple, while also giving new viewers a fresh perspective of this universe through new characters.

Given how the original Outlander bent time-travel and caused two worlds to collide, fans can certainly expect something similar with this series.

Starz revealed looks at Outlander: Blood of My Blood‘s leads, showcasing two different eras in history.

Hermione Corfield and Jeremy Irvine will be portraying Henry Beauchamp and Julia Moriston, a couple from World War I whose lives are transformed.

Meanwhile, Harriet Slater and Jamie Roy will be portraying Ellen MacKenzie and Brian Fraser, the parents of Jamie and Claire.

As such, Outlander: Blood of My Blood follows two different timelines: one on the battlefields of World War I and the other in the Highlands of 18th-century Scotland. While each couple will face their own challenges, their worlds are on a collision course for trouble.

In addition, the supporting cast of Outlander: Blood of My Blood includes Tony Curran as Simon Fraser and Lord Lovat, Séamus McLean Ross as Colum MacKenzie, Sam Retford as Dougal MacKenzie, Rory Alexander as Murtagh Fitzgibbons Fraser, and Conor MacNeill as Ned Gowan. 

Previously, the original Outlander, which had its season finale with Outlander Season 7 Episode 16 “A Hundred Thousand Angels”, saw William desperately trying to save Jane while Jamie and Claire had their hopeful ending with a discovery about their stillborn child, Faith.

While it’s unlikely that Outlander: Blood of My Blood might connect directly to the events of Outlander Season 7, there’s a likelihood that it could hint at potential things that were featured throughout the series.

Additionally, it could also potentially tease some narrative elements of Outlander Season 8, which is still set to release this year.

Matthew B. Roberts serves as showrunner and executive producer on Outlander: Blood of My Blood with Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis, and Jim Kohlberg also serving as executive producers. Outlander: Blood of My Blood is produced by Sony Pictures Television.
