It is official! Outlander: Blood of My Blood the prequel to Outlander is filming and they’ve announced cast members.
According to Variety:
Starz has announced that production is now underway in Scotland on the 10-episode series, which is officially titled “Outlander: Blood of My Blood.”
The series will examine the lives of Jamie’s parents, Ellen MacKenzie (Slater) and Brian Fraser (Roy), as well as the origin story of Claire’s parents, Julia Moriston (Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Irvine). Per the official description, “The series will center on these two parallel love stories set in two different time periods, with Jamie’s parents in the early 18th century Scottish Highlands and Claire’s parents in WWI England.”

Harriet Slater (“Pennyworth,” “Belgravia: The Next Chapter”), Jamie Roy (“Condor’s Nest,” “Flowers and Honey”), Hermione Corfield (“The Road Dance,” “We Hunt Together”), and Jeremy Irvine (“War Horse,” “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again”) have all been cast in the series.
I, for one, can’t wait to see this prequel to the story of Outlander. Maybe tidbits have been dropped in the book series but it will be great to see it unfold. And knowing something about the story I’m assuming we will see a young Colum and Dougal.
