Everything we know about the upcoming 'Outlander' prequel series 'Blood of My Blood'

  • "Outlander" may be ending with season eight, but fans can look forward to a new prequel series.
  • "Outlander: Blood of My Blood" will focus on the origin stories of Jamie and Claire's parents.

It was announced in early 2023 that "Outlander" had been renewed for an eighth but final season, putting a pin in Starz's original plan 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 will be delighted to learn that a prequel series continuing the story of the Fraser family is 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."

The prequel series was then officially greenlit in 2022, and several months later, it was confirmed 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 announced, lots of other details about the series have been shared, including who has been cast in the main roles as Jamie and Claire's parents. Keep reading for everything we know about the series so far.
