Even after eight seasons of the critically acclaimed historical romance sci-fi series Outlander, fans still can’t get enough. And now, ahead of the final eighth season of the series, Starz has delighted fans with the release of Outlander: Blood of my Blood, released on August 8, 2025.
This new historical romance drama, a prequel to the original show, dives into the romances of Jamie Fraser’s parents in 18th-century Scotland and Claire Beauchamp’s parents during World War I in England. The season will provide glimpses into the couples’ lives, relationships and hardships, while also revealing new historical and emotional ties. Staying true to its roots, the series is set to feature a time-travel element that connects these two distinct timelines.
