‘Outlander’ Prequel ‘Blood of My Blood’ Greenlit at Starz

Somehow I missed this so I’m going to report on it now. I guess that means when Outlander ends, I’ll be covering Blood of My Blood.

At the end of one era and the beginning of another, STARZ announced that the prequel to its popular drama series Outlander had been greenlit, just after the renewal announcement for season eight, which will also be the show’s final season. Although fans of the show are in sorrow over the final season announcement, the fantasy drama series will return for Outlander: Blood of My Blood, which will follow the lives of Jamie Fraser’s parents, Brian Fraser and Ellen MacKenzie.

The announcement of Outlander‘s final season comes months before the summer release of Season 7. While this is both sad and good news for fans, given that Claire and Jamie’s journeys throughout space and time will eventually come to an end, there is something they can look forward to in the upcoming series. Consisting of 10 episodes, Outlander: Blood of My Blood will take place before the events of Outlander, where Jaime’s parents are still alive, and will delve into new ground while providing us with more in depth history about Jamie’s origins. The upcoming series will be written and executive produced by Matthew B. Roberts, alongside the original series’ executive producers Ronald D. Moore and Maril Davis.
