THE SERIES
When the ground-breaking drama Outlander comes to its epic conclusion next month, fans won’t need to wait long to travel back to Scotland and the Outlander Universe. MGM+ has confirmed an autumn return of the critically acclaimed prequel series, Outlander: Blood of my Blood with a newly released teaser trailer and first-look images from the upcoming second season featuring the series’ two iconic leading couples, Julia (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine) and Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy).
The first season of Outlander: Blood of my Blood introduced viewers to the two different, but equally passionate, love stories of Claire and Jamie’s parents as they met and fought to be together against all odds. Longtime Outlander fans, along with those new to the universe, were surprised to learn how these two couples crossed paths and the important roles they played in each other’s lives.
In Season One, Claire’s parents Henry and Julia, began a romance through the letters they exchanged from the war-torn battlefields of WWI, but were tested in new ways when an unexpected journey back in time left them lost and separated in the sweeping highlands of 18th century Scotland. Meanwhile, it was love at first sight for Ellen and Brian. Despite being members of two rival clans, the two began a forbidden romance and vowed their eternal love, choosing each other over tradition, politics and familial obligations. By the end of the season, both couples were on the precipice of a big change. After fighting to find their way back to one another, Henry and Julia were at the standing stones of Craig Na Dun, hoping to return to their own time, and Brian and Ellen’s romantic escape was interrupted as the 1715 Jacobite Rising began, thrusting the clans into war. As Season Two unfolds, the two young couples will be tested and separated by forces beyond their control, as every clan chooses a side in the rebellion.
In addition to Corfield, Irvine, Slater and Roy, Outlander: Blood of my Blood stars Tony Curran as Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat, Séamus McLean Ross as Colum MacKenzie, Sam Retford as Dougal MacKenzie, Rory Alexander as Murtagh Fitzgibbons Fraser, and Conor MacNeill as Ned Gowan.
RELEASE
This series is exceptional and shot straight to the top of our late summer watchlist. Matthew B. Roberts’ unique vision has ensured that Outlander: Blood of My Blood is an immersive, timeless television event, one worthy of staying home for. That, coupled with spectacular production values, has made the series a standout, with all the hallmarks of an instant classic.
We were fortunate to attend the series premiere in London last summer, and we had a fantastic time. Roberts has put together a brilliant cast to bring this adventure to life, and each member of the exceptional ensemble is genuinely committed to creating the best series possible. Their enthusiasm for the project is contagious, and if they can channel that passion into another outstanding season, then audiences will be in for a treat for seasons to come.
