The network said in a press release Wednesday that Brian McCardie, Jhon Lumsden, Sara Vickers and Peter Mullan have joined the cast of the upcoming series.

The show will follow the two parallel love stories across two different time periods, with Jamie's parents in the early 18th century Scottish Highlands and Claire's parents in World War I England.
McCardie will play the leader of Clan Grant, with Lumsden as his son, Malcolm, a potential suitor for Ellen MacKenzie.
Vickers will portray Davina Porter, a housekeeper in the Lovat household and mother to Brian Fraser, while Mullan has been cast as Red Jacob MacKenzie, Laird of Clan MacKenzie and father to Ellen, Dougal, Colum, Janet and Jocasta.
Other previously announced cast members include Rory Alexander, Sam Retford, Séamus McLean Ross and Conor MacNeill.
Production is underway in Scotland.
Outlander: Blood of My Blood will feature Matthew B. Roberts as showrunner and executive producer.
The original Outlander stars Caitríona Balfe and Sam Heughan and will return for an eighth and final season on Starz this year.
