Before there was Claire and Jamie, there were Claire and Jamie's parents. Outlander: Blood of My Blood is a prequel series that will explore the love stories between these two couples whose children end up in a love story for the ages.
"We're thrilled to be telling the stories of these two couples. The origins of their relationships explore universal themes that transcend time periods and we’re so excited for fans to discover and fall in love with these characters and their love stories the way they have with Claire and Jamie," said Matthew B. Roberts, showrunner, executive producer and writer on Outlander and the new prequel series, in a press release from Starz.
The 10 episode prequel series is filming in Scotland, with production having begun in February 2024.
The prequel series gets underway as the final eight episodes of Outlander season 7 debut later this year while production is about to begin on season 8 of the epic series, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this summer.
