Outlander: Blood of My Blood Premieres August 2025 with Two-Episode Launch

At the 2025 San Diego Comic-Con, Starz revealed key details about the Outlander franchise, including a two-episode premiere for the spinoff Outlander: Blood of My Blood set for August 8, 2025. The spinoff’s premiere episodes focus on Jamie Fraser's parents, Brian Fraser and Ellen MacKenzie, whose secret romance echoes Romeo and Juliet due to their families being rival clans, a theme highlighted in exclusive clips shown at the panel. Actor Jamie Roy shared that a pivotal scene filmed on a noisy river bridge required improvised timing to overcome sound challenges, resulting in a take that was ultimately used in the series. Additionally, the official trailer for Outlander season 8 was unveiled, teasing the final chapter with Jamie and Claire returning to Fraser's Ridge and hinting at a significant plot involving historian Frank Randall's revelation about Jamie's fate during the Revolutionary War. These announcements and sneak peeks underscore a focus on legacy, family dynamics, and the continuation of key book storylines in both the spinoff and the main series.
