Stan has released the official trailer for Outlander: Blood of my Blood, a new prequel to the globally popular series Outlander, premiering August 9 exclusively in Australia on the streaming platform.
The new series has already been renewed for a second season ahead of its debut. Produced by Sony Pictures Television, Outlander: Blood of my Blood blends epic romance and historical drama across two intertwined timelines: the battlefields of World War I and the politically charged Scottish Highlands of 1714.
Parallel love stories and legacy characters
Set decades before the events of Outlander, the prequel focuses on the origins of two key families. The series follows Julia Moriston (played by Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine), the parents of Outlander’s Claire Randall, and Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy), the parents of Jamie Fraser.
Additional cast includes 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.
A fresh entry point for new audiences
While the prequel stands alone, it also serves as an origin story for some of the franchise’s most beloved characters, offering new insights into events that shaped the early seasons of Outlander.
The series has been designed to welcome viewers unfamiliar with the original series, providing a fresh narrative perspective and introducing a new ensemble cast.
Production team and premiere schedule
Matthew B. Roberts serves as showrunner and executive producer, alongside Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis, and Jim Kohlberg. The series is produced and distributed by Sony Pictures Television.
Outlander: Blood of my Blood premieres August 9, with new episodes every Saturday, only on Stan in Australia.
