Outlander followers have been mired within the newest Droughtlander since early within the 2025 TV schedule, however the world of Claire, Jamie, and their epic time journey love story is coming again in just some months with the premiere of the present’s prequel. Outlander: Blood of My Blood will not middle on any of the unique present’s sequence regulars and even debut because the long-awaited Lord John spinoff, however as a substitute inform the love tales of Jamie’s dad and mom and Claire’s dad and mom, all of whom had died by the point Outlander picked up.
Starz introduced the premiere date forward of an occasion that brings the casts of each reveals collectively, and I am reminded of how the premiere of Blood of My Blood is a throwback to the very first episode of the unique.
Blood Of My Blood’s Premiere Throwback
Outlander: Blood of My Blood is ready to premiere on Friday, August 8 at 8 p.m. ET on Starz, and discover a solution to tie collectively the parallel love tales of Julia Moriston and Henry Beauchamp (Claire’s dad and mom) circa World Warfare I reverse Ellen MacKenzie and Brian Fraser (Jamie’s dad and mom) in 18th century Scotland.
However these two parallel love tales kinda sorta mirroring Claire’s early battle over her love for Frank and her love for Jamie aren’t what have me flashing again to Outlander‘s earliest days on Starz. The very first episode aired on August 9, 2014.
Meaning Blood of My Blood will premiere nearly precisely eleven years to the date from when Outlander debuted! In actual fact, if Starz was nonetheless releasing episodes of this TV universe on Saturdays as a substitute of the transfer to Fridays, the prequel would have premiered on the exact anniversary of the unique premiere. (That authentic first episode is obtainable streaming with a Netflix subscription now.)
Was this deliberate? Actually, I do not know, however I am tickled by the thought of 1 present launching with no one having any thought of what to anticipate in August 2014 in comparison with a model new spinoff in August 2025. Throw in Blood of My Blood bringing in some Outlander characters as effectively, and there is a lot to look ahead to… together with the two-show occasion developing quickly!
