The Outlander prequel has been renewed ahead of its series premiere.
Starz has announced an early Season 2 renewal for Outlander: Blood of My Blood, its upcoming prequel series set in the same universe as the long-running hit Outlander.
The early greenlight comes ahead of the show’s Season 1 premiere on Friday, August 8. New episodes will stream weekly on Fridays via the Starz app and all Starz streaming and on-demand platforms.
Production on Season 2 begins today in Scotland on the same stages where the flagship series was filmed for over a decade.
The series will explore the epic romances of two couples: Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy), and Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine). The story travels from the trenches of World War I to the Highlands of 18th century Scotland, offering fans both a fresh entry point and deeper context for the Outlander universe.
Showrunner Matthew B. Roberts called the cast and crew’s efforts “extraordinary” and expressed hopes that audiences will fall in love with the new couples as they did with Jamie and Claire.
Starz president Kathryn Busby echoed the sentiment, noting that the new series honors the original while also breaking new ground:
“The world of ‘Outlander’ has captivated audiences with its sweeping storytelling and unforgettable characters. With ‘Blood of my Blood,’ we’ve expanded the universe in a way that honors the original, while charting bold new territory. ans – longtime and new – will be drawn to the powerful love stories at the heart of this next chapter, and we’re proud to continue building on the franchise’s legacy with Matt and our longtime-partners at Sony who have worked tirelessly to make Outlander the global phenomenon it has become.”
Outlander: Blood of My Blood also stars Tony Curran, Rory Alexander, Séamus McLean Ross, Sam Retford, and Conor MacNeill.
Expect Outlander: Blood of My Blood Season 2 to premiere sometime in 2026.
