At the start of this year, "Outlander" fans received some bad news and some good news.
Starz announced that the series had been renewed for an eighth and final season, putting a pin in their original plans to adapt all of Diana Gabaldon's novels (the last of which has still not yet been written).
Although that will bring Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire's (Caitríona Balfe) time-traveling escapades to a close, audiences were delighted to learn that a prequel series continuing the story of the Fraser family was officially in production.
Speculation that Starz was expanding the "Outlander" universe began in 2020, when Deadline reported that the network bosses had encouraged producers Ronald D. Moore and Maril Davis to "to plot a slew of spin-offs, sequels and story extensions."
Over two years later, fans got the news they had been waiting for when the prequel series was officially announced. Several months later, it was announced that the writers' room had started working on scripts and that the series had been given a name — "Outlander: Blood of my Blood."
While a release date for the series hasn't been set yet, and no casting announcements have been made, lots of other details about the series have been shared. Here's everything we know so far.
