Starz’s much-anticipated Outlander prequel, Outlander: Blood of My Blood, will premiere this summer. The network dropped a 50-second teaser one day ahead of the season seven finale of Outlander.
Outlander: Blood of My Blood will “explore the lives and relationship of Claire’s parents, Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine), and Jamie’s parents, Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy). The series will center on these two parallel love stories set in two different time periods, with Jamie’s parents in the early 18th century Scottish Highlands and Claire’s parents in WWI England,” reads Starz’s synopsis. “From the battlefields of World War I to the rugged Highlands of 18th-century Scotland, two fated love stories must defy the forces that seek to tear them apart, intersecting in surprising and unforeseen ways.”
Outlander‘s Matthew B. Roberts serves as showrunner and executive producer. Additional executive producers include Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis, and Jim Kohlberg. Set in the world created by Diana Gabaldon, the new series is produced by Tall Ship Productions, No Fooling Productions Inc., Story Mining & Supply Company, and Sony Pictures Television.
