Blood of My Blood will explore the lives and relationships of Jamie’s parents, Ellen MacKenzie (Slater) and Brian Fraser (Roy) and Claire’s parents, Julia Moriston (Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Irvine). The 10-episode series will center on the 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 World War I-era England.

“We are thrilled to expand our Season 1 cast with some well-known characters from the Outlander universe. We’re so excited to welcome Rory, Sam, Séamus and Conor to the MacKenzie and Fraser clans and to explore the young journeys of these fan-favorite characters,” says Matthew B. Roberts, the show’s showrunner and executive producer.

Outlander, which will celebrate its 10th anniversary this summer, will be airing the back eight episodes of its seventh season later this year and has been confirmed for a 10-episode eighth season, which will begin production shortly in Scotland.
