'Outlander: Blood of My Blood' Season 2 Promises Battles & Partings
Starz confirms that the romantic 'Outlander' prequel, "Blood of My Blood,' will return this Fall.
Though Outlander fans are undoubtedly bracing themselves emotionally for the series finale, set to premiere in just a few weeks, cable network Starz is at least trying to ease their pain as much as they can. The cable network has confirmed that its uber-romantic, timey-wimey prequel series, Outlander: Blood of My Blood, will return for Season 2 before the end of 2026. If the first look is anything to go by, there's plenty of drama to come.
The teaser hints that the new season will immediately pick up where the Season 1 finale left off, with Brian Fraser summoned to join the latest Jacobite uprising and his new, freshly handfasted wife, Ellen, determined to wait for his safe return. As for the cliffhanger ending that saw Henry and Julia attempting to return through the standing stones of Craig Na Dun to their own time — and their young daughter Claire — the new footage doesn't provide any direct answers about whether or not they succeeded.
The clip features a shot of the Beauchamp family that could just as easily be a flashback to before Henry and Julia originally left for Scotland as it could be a reunion. Even the new first-look image of the pair could represent them after they've successfully passed through the stones... or the moment they failed to do so. (It's gonna be a long wait, is what I'm saying.)
Here's the series' description.
In Season 1, Claire’s parents Henry and Julia, began a romance through the letters they exchanged from the war-torn battlefields of WWI, but were tested in new ways when an unexpected journey back in time left them lost and separated in the sweeping highlands of 18th century Scotland. Meanwhile, it was love at first sight for Ellen and Brian. Despite being members of two rival clans, the two began a forbidden romance and vowed their eternal love, choosing each other over tradition, politics and familial obligations.
By the end of the season, both couples were on the precipice of a big change. After fighting to find their way back to one another, Henry and Julia were at the standing stones of Craig Na Dun, hoping to return to their own time, and Brian and Ellen’s romantic escape was interrupted as the 1715 Jacobite Rising began, thrusting the clans into war. As Season 2 unfolds, the two young couples will be tested and separated by forces beyond their control, as every clan chooses a side in the rebellion.
Stars Hermione Corfield (We Hunt Together), Jeremy Irvine (Dalgliesh), Jamie Roy (Meeting You, Meeting Me), and Harriet Slater (Belgravia: The Next Chapter) are all back as the show's central foursome. The series also stars Tony Curran (Mary and George) as Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat; Séamus McLean Ross (Rebus) as Colum MacKenzie, Sam Retford (Grace) as Dougal MacKenzie, Rory Alexander (Pistol) as Murtagh Fitzgibbons Fraser, and Conor MacNeill (Industry) as Ned Gowan.
Matthew B. Roberts serves as the showrunner for both Outlander and Outlander: Blood of My Blood. Roberts also serves as an executive producer, alongside Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis, Toni Graphia, Luke Schelhaas, Michael Wilson, Jim Kohlberg, and Luke Parker Bowles.
