The new trailer for Outlander: Blood of My Blood kicks off with a jaw-dropping revelation: Claire Beauchamp’s parents, Julia Moriston and Henry Beauchamp, don’t meet their fate in a car accident as fans had long thought. Instead, they mysteriously disappear through the standing stones at Craigh na Dun and pop up in Scotland in 1714.
This unexpected twist completely alters our understanding of Claire’s backstory, hinting that she might have been separated from her parents by the stones rather than by a tragic event. The trailer beautifully blends scenes from 20th-century World War I-era England with breathtaking views of the Highlands, clearly indicating that Outlander: Blood of My Blood will delve into the effects of time travel on family dynamics in a whole new light.
Two parallel love stories interweave across eras
Instead of looking at one couple, Outlander: Blood of My Blood establishes two romances that reflect and influence one another. In one plot, Brian Fraser and Ellen MacKenzie are in early‑18th‑century Scotland, where the tug of clan and politics threatens to destroy the relationship.
The other traces the lives of Julia and Henry through World War I and how they withstand love through war. Julia, arriving in 1714, meets young Ellen and Brian, somewhat influencing their decision-making. Combined, they will form a family saga that can stand as a direct successor to the ideas of destiny and family explored in the initial series.
Key cast and crew of Outlander: Blood of My Blood bring the saga to life
Fans will recognize familiar names behind Outlander: Blood of My Blood, including showrunner Matthew B. Roberts and executive producers Maril Davis and Ronald D. Moore. Diana Gabaldon, author of the source novels, serves as a consulting producer.
On screen, Hermione Corfield and Jeremy Irvine play Claire’s parents, while Harriet Slater and Jamie Roy embody Ellen and Brian. Supporting roles feature Sam Retford as Dougal MacKenzie and Rory Alexander as Murtagh. This blend of veteran creative leadership and fresh talent aims to honor the spirit of Outlander while charting new ground.

Filming for Outlander: Blood of My Blood took place on location in Scotland, with scenes at historic sites like Doune Castle serving as Castle Leoch. Production began in January 2024, paused briefly for winter storms, and wrapped in July 2024.
