Starz has set an August 8, 2025 premiere date for the Outlander prequel, Outlander: Blood of my Blood. New episodes of the romantic drama will air on Fridays at 8pm ET/PT.

The premiere date announcement was accompanied by the release of new posters featuring the two couples at the heart of the epic tale.

Outlander: Blood of my Blood explores “the lives and relationship of Claire’s parents, Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine), and Jamie’s parents, Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy). 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,” per Starz’s synopsis. “From the battlefields of World War I to the rugged Highlands of 18th-century Scotland, two fated love stories must defy the forces that seek to tear them apart, intersecting in surprising and unforeseen ways.”

The prequel’s cast also includes Tony Curran as Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat; Séamus McLean Ross as Colum MacKenzie; Sam Retford as Dougal MacKenzie; Rory Alexander as Murtagh Fitzgibbons Fraser; and Conor MacNeill as Ned Gowan.

Matthew B. Roberts guides the prequel as showrunner and executive producer. Additional executive producers include Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis, and Jim Kohlberg.
