Watch Jamie’s and Claire’s Parents Fall in Love in Teaser for ‘Outlander’ Prequel Series ‘Blood of My Blood’

The first-look teaser for “Outlander” prequel series “Blood of My Blood” brings fans back in time. Exactly one-generation more back in time than “Outlander.”

Starz debuted the “Outlander: Blood of My Blood” teaser on Thursday, January 16, 2025 — one day ahead of “Outlander’s” Season 7 finale. “Outlander: Blood of My Blood” will debut on Starz this summer — we do not yet have a specific date.

“Blood of My Blood” will follow the respective romances of Jamie Fraser’s parents (Brian Fraser, played by Jamie Roy, and Ellen MacKenzie, played by Harriet Slater) and Claire Beauchamp(-turned-Fraser’s) parents (Henry Beauchamp, played by Jeremy Irvine, and Julia Moriston, played by Hermione Corfield). What’s that saying about kids learning how to love by watching their parents?

Other fan-familiar characters include Murtagh Fitzgibbons Fraser (Jamie’s godfather and Brian’s cousin, played by Rory Alexander) and Mrs. Fitz (Ellen’s lady-in-waiting and Murtagh’s mother, played by Sally Messham). There are also Ellen’s siblings — Colum MacKenzie (Séamus McLean Ross), Dougal MacKenzie (Sam Retford), and Jocasta Cameron (Sadhbh Malin) — as well as House Mackenzie’s legal advisor, Ned Gowan (Conor MacNeill) and Brian’s father, Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat (Tony Curran — yes, that’s all one dude).

“From the battlefields of World War I to the rugged Highlands of 18th century Scotland, two fated love stories must defy the forces that seek to tear them apart, intersecting in surprising and unforeseen ways,” the logline reads.

The Fraser’s storyline is the older one.

“Outlander” showrunner and executive producer Matthew B. Roberts will have the same roles on “Blood of My Blood.” Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis, and Jim Kohlberg also executive produce both series. “Outlander: Blood of My Blood” is produced by Tall Ship Productions, No Fooling Productions Inc., Story Mining & Supply Company, and Sony Pictures Television.

The OG “Outlander” series has completed production on its 10-episode eighth and final season. “Outlander” is based on author Diana Gabaldon’s best-selling books, which have sold an estimated 50 million copies worldwide. All nine of them have made the New York Times best-seller list.
