Blood of My Blood series 1 screening schedule in full with one week break
The wait is almost over until the Outlander prequel Blood of My Blood kicks off and fans cannot contain their excitement.
Friday, August 8 is the day that the highly anticipated show airs on Starz which follows two new love stories, one which starts on the battlefields of the Western Front during World War I and the other in the meadows of Scotland in the early 18th century.
It will unravel the tale of both Jamie and Claire Fraser's parents. Jamie's dad, Brian Fraser, died just mere days after the Highland warrior's second flogging from Randall in Outlander. Although we are yet to get a taste of the spin-off, some critics have shared their glowing reviews ahead of its release.
The rest of the prequel follows the romance between Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine) and Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield), who are Claire's parents.
And now the full screening schedule has been revealed.
The first and second episode will air on Saturday, August 9, at 2am and then 3.20am. Episodes will then be episodic until October 4 when it will be a skip week between episodes 109 and 110.
The final episode will air on October 11. Back in June, it was announced that Outlander: Blood Of My Blood would be filming a second season, before the first season even aired a single episode.
In a statement, Blood of My Blood's showrunner and executive producer Matthew B. Roberts said: "The passion and talent our cast and crew have poured into Outlander: Blood of my Blood has been extraordinary and we're thrilled to continue these epic love stories in season two."
"Just as audiences fell in love with Jamie and Claire, we hope viewers will be enamoured by these new couples when they meet them this summer," he continued.
And fans will be delighted to know that filming for season two has already kicked off in the exact same location Outlander was filmed over the last decade.
Followers were quick to share their excitement in the comments of the official post, with one writing: "What amazing news! I'm already counting down to BOMB's premiere - and Season 2 is already underway?! So exciting!"
As another jokingly stated: "Season 1 isn't even out yet but season 2 is already starting. Oh yeah, I've got a good feeling about the trauma to come."
While a third voice their congratulations, saying: "OMG!!! I'm not even surprised because we know this show is going to be that GOOD. Congrats to everyone," alongside fire and clapping emojis.

Reacher season 4 first set photos unveil Netflix star as new ‘love interest' with one big twist
The first set photos from the highly anticipated fourth season of Reacher have revealed the look of a brand new cast member Reacher's latest love interest may have been revealed in new set photos from the eagerly awaited fourth season of Prime Video's hit thriller series. Based on the bestselling crime novels by Lee Child, Alan Ritchson stars as the hulking former Military Policeman who now lives a nomadic existence, bringing justice to wrongdoers and crime lords across the United States. The first three seasons have proven a hit for the streamer so far, with the fourth outing based on Child's 2009 book Gone Tomorrow just around the corner. This time, the action kicks off in New York City where Reacher is travelling on a subway train late at night when he sees a passenger who matches the description of a suicide bomber. His decision over whether or not to intervene triggers a series of events that leads him to NYPD homicide detective Theresa Lee, and the pair slowly unravel a conspiracy that could go all the way to Washington. For the small screen adaptation, detective Lee has been renamed Tamara Green and will be portrayed by Sydelle Noel. Netflix subscribers may recognise Noel as Cherry 'Junkchain' Bang, one of the main characters in the streamer's hit TV series GLOW. In the latest set photos, shared on Instagram, Reacher's latest female lead was all smiles in a practical outfit of a pair of black suit trousers and a purple vest. While she beamed at the cameras, Noel also showed off her toned arms in the sleeveless top, proving she'll be a force to be reckoned with in any scuffles Tamara and Reacher find themselves in this season. Fans were ecstatic to get their first-look at the newcomer to the hit thriller series, taking to the comments to welcome Noel to the Reacher universe.

For now, though, viewers can only speculate on what's to come as the fourth season of Reacher likely won't air for another year.
