Unanticipated Prequel Unveiled - Unexpected Prequel Unveiled
In an exciting development for Outlander fans, a new prequel series titled "Outlander: Blood of My Blood" is set to premiere exclusively on MagentaTV on August 9, 2025. This spin-off delves into the lives of the parents of the original Outlander protagonists, Jamie Fraser and Claire Beauchamp.
The main characters in this prequel series are Ellen MacKenzie, played by Harriet Slater, who portrays Jamie's mother and a proud daughter of Clan MacKenzie. Ellen's brothers, Colum MacKenzie, played by Séamus McLean Ross, and Dougal MacKenzie, portrayed by Sam Retford, also make their appearances. Notable MacKenzie clan member, Murtagh Fitzgibbons Fraser, Jamie's godfather, is played by Rory Alexander.
On the Beauchamp side, Julia Moriston, played by Hermione Corfield, and Henry Beauchamp, portrayed by Jeremy Irvine, represent Claire's family in World War I England. Their parallel love story timeline forms a significant part of the prequel series.
Jamie's father, Brian Fraser, played by Jamie Roy, is also part of the cast, with his character previously seen in the original series in flashbacks. Completing the core cast is Sadhbh Malin as Jocasta Cameron, Ellen's sister.
The prequel series weaves together the narratives of these couples in unexpected ways, focusing on family dynamics, romantic relationships, and clan politics in early 18th-century Scotland and World War I England.
Interestingly, the series will end before the book series, with bestselling author Diana Gabaldon promising a different conclusion. Unlike the main series, Outlander, the prequel is not based on Gabaldon's novels.
