Outlander and Blood of my Blood cast join forces to celebrate World Outlander Day
The show and the prequel will come together for a very special reason.
Sharing some footage of cast members from both shows mingling with each other, the official Outlander page wrote: "Get ready for a family reunion like no other on World Outlander Day!
"Witness the casts of #Outlander and #BloodOfMyBlood come together for the first time to welcome a new generation of Frasers, MacKenzies, and Beauchamps, and explore the ties that bind their stories. Join us LIVE June 1 at 4pm PT / 7pm ET on YouTube (link in bio). "Outlander: #BloodOfMyBlood premieres Aug 8 on STARZ. Catch up on all seasons of #Outlander on the STARZ App."
In the footage, both casts sit down together and drink from quiches and share stories. Sam Heughan can also be heard saying: "A force to be reckoned with!"
And after viewing the clip, fans could not contain their excitement.
One penned: "Well, the cast of blood of my blood already has my heart." Another said: "The whole family together. Nothing could ever beat this."
While another said: "I'm so excited for this! The best family reunion!"
Another commented: "What a great gift you're giving us on World Outlander Day! I had a feeling you'd have something special planned."
While one fan added: "So happy, I can't wait to meet the parents of my favorite couple Jamie and Claire Fraser! Je suis prest!"
The eagerly awaited 10-part prequel drama Blood of My Blood is set to premiere on August 8 on Starz and will be available the following day, August 9, on MGM+ via Prime Video.
Outlander: Blood of My Blood will delve into the romantic pasts of Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire's parents, with one story unfolding during World War I and another in the Scottish Highlands in the 17th century.
Devotees of Outlander are keen for the series to shed light on some unresolved mysteries, including the true circumstances surrounding Julia and Henry's deaths and whether there could be a connection to the season seven cliffhanger involving Faith.
There is only one season of Outlander left which is thought (but not confirmed) to air late 2025 or early next year.

Love Island casting comes under fire AGAIN after it's revealed star had TikTok account where he ‘secretly films women'
He insisted he's a good, normal guy after being quizzed by cops over a machete attack. VILLA BAD BOY Love Island casting comes under fire AGAIN after it's revealed star had TikTok account where he 'secretly films women' AXED Love Island hunk Kyle Ashman took part in 'misogynistic' videos with a pal where they secretly filmed women. The lad was struck from the dating show line-up earlier this week after it was revealed that he had been held and questioned by police over a machete attack at a wake. Advertisement 3 Kyle was axed from the show earlier this week Credit: Instagram Now it has been revealed that he had a joint TikTok and YouTube page with a friend called Fin Musker. Whilst the joint pages have been wiped of content, a source has told The Sun that the videos involved them 'picking up girls and filming them without knowledge'. The source added that the videos 'displayed misogynistic behaviour towards women'. Some content still online shows Fin and Kyle out on the town, kissing women and speaking to them in bars. Advertisement When approached about the videos, Kyle did not wish to comment. It raises further question marks about ITV's vetting process for its reality shows. Earlier this week Kyle was sent packing from Majorca after The Sun alerted show bosses that he had been arrested on suspicion of a machete attack and was only cleared by police last month - meaning he would've been in discussion with authorities whilst auditioning for Love Island. ITV chiefs sent him home from Majorca, plunging the show into chaos ahead of Monday's launch. Advertisement A source said: 'All of the online content had been cleared so may not have come up on surface level checks, but for this kind of show far deeper trawls should be in place. 'ITV has steered clear of OnlyFans stars in the past and Kyle's link to one - particularly taking part in joint content of a misogynistic nature - is surely not in keeping with Love Island being a family show.' Love Island's Kyle Ashman reveals he wants show return as Casa Amor hunk after being axed over machete attack on dad ITV declined to comment. Ashman, 23, was one of two quizzed over a brutal machete attack at a wake in Stafford in February but was released with no further action. Advertisement Sources said the channel was unaware of the incident and he was not flagged as part of contestant checks. The victim, 38, nearly lost his arm. He was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment and kept in for around two weeks. Another mourner was glassed, one struck with a metal pole, and two people run over by a car during the 15 minutes of terror at a social club. Ashman, who lives in the town, was one of two men to be nicked on suspicion of affray then bailed. Advertisement Police confirmed that after the matter had been investigated the pair were released with no further action only last month. Speaking after he was axed from the show, he said: "I'm not a bad guy, honestly. I'm a normal guy from a normal place. An opportunity arose to find love and I grabbed it with both hands, and it's been taken away from me. "I've seen the support pages and, who knows, maybe I'll get the chance to go on Casa Amor or as a bombshell, go back in and show you who I really am. Show you I'm not a bad guy. We'll see." 3 He was quizzed by cops over a machete attack that happened in February Credit: Instagram/@kyleashmantr Advertisement 3 He was released without charge and insists he's a normal guy Credit: Instagram

Jamie Oliver tearful as dyslexic teen tells him 'I don't see any hope'
The campaigning chef is calling for a huge overhaul of the school system so that dyslexic and neurodivergent kids can thrive alongside their classmates Jamie Oliver is winning the first stage of his latest Channel 4 campaign after getting Bridget Phillipson onside in his battle to overhaul the education system for dyslexic kids. The education minister has pledged her support for Jamie's mission to revolutionise the school experience for those with special educational needs. The chef, who previously tackled school dinners and sugary drinks, is calling on the government to bring in early screening, within the first two years of primary school, and for teachers to receive proper training on dyslexia - currently just half a day is given over to the subject during a three-year teacher training course. Dad-of-five Jamie said he was inspired to bring about change because of his own painful experience at school. 'It wasn't great,' he sighed. 'Everything to do with learning and getting it down on paper was terrible, I hated words. I had nothing to offer. That feeling of sadness, of feeling thick, stupid, worthless and dumb. READ MORE: Vernon Kay and Paddy McGuinness join Celebrity Gogglebox for first time - and promise 'no filter' 'School was just tough because I didn't get it. But seeing other kids and parents going through that pain in 2025, it does make you quite angry.' The film, Jamie's Dyslexia Revolution, uses statistics showing that one in ten kids is dyslexic - meaning there are three in the average classroom - but for every 10 dyslexic children, only two will be diagnosed. These children are 3.5 times more likely to be expelled, and those who lose their place at school are 200 times more likely to get involved in violent crime. This could explain why 50% the UK's prison inmates show signs of dyslexia. 'I am starting to see the patterns of getting into trouble and ending up in prison are all massively amplified by dyslexia and neurodiversity…and I don't think it is because this is destiny for them, I think it's a reaction to a feeling that they never fit it,' he said at a launch event in London. 'Dyslexia is bigger than letters jumping around and a few kids struggling to read. It's about getting tens of thousands of kids a year to thrive, and not just survive, in school. An education system that only works for some kids, and not everyone, is broken.' Jamie said he believes the current education minister is the right person to bring about the changes so many kids and families are desperate for. Having met with mum-of-two Bridget at her parliamentary office, he says: 'I like her. She's doing things that others haven't done for a long time. Out of the 17 or 18 [education ministers] that I've seen over the last 20 years, she sticks out as being one worth putting a bet on.' Since filming ended, Bridget has agreed that 1 in 4 kids being left out of education is a sign the system needs an overhaul and has committed to improving teacher training around neurodiversity for all new teachers from this September. The education minister said: 'I am determined to reform the system for children with SEND so that all children can achieve what they're capable of.' All new teachers will be fully trained when it comes to SEND neurodiversity and existing teachers will also be 'upskilled' as part of reforms she will set out later this year. 'What a lot of our teachers tell me is that they don't feel they've got the support that they need to really provide a brilliant education to children with a much bigger range of needs than might have been the case when they did their initial training,' she said. The film also hears from 15-year-old Amira, who felt 'isolated' at school, where she failed to get a formal diagnosis and now expects to fail her GCSEs. 'It feels like I have no opportunities. I don't see any hope,' she tells Jamie, who says she's being badly let down. - Jamie's Dyslexia Revolution, Channel 4, 8pm, Monday
