‘Outlander: Blood of My Blood' Is Finally Here—Here's When to Watch
Even if you've never watched Outlander, the new prequel series Blood of My Blood offers an inviting entry into its time-traveling, romance-filled world. The new Starz spinoff follows two intertwined love stories—one set in 18th-century Scotland, the other in World War I-era London—that ultimately shape the lives of Outlander's central couple, Claire and Jamie Fraser.
In 1714, Jamie's mother Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) is grieving her father when familial politics force her toward an arranged marriage—until she meets Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy), a man she's forbidden to be with. 'There is this magnetic connection between the two of them,' Roy told ELLE. 'Neither can resist creeping slowly toward each other until, at last, their hands touch.'
Meanwhile, in 1917 London, Claire's mom Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) begins a correspondence with soldier Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine) that blooms into a passionate romance. Their fateful trip to Scotland leads them to a circle of ancient stones (the same ones Claire later encounters) that send them time-traveling straight into Ellen and Brian's world.
The series blends historical drama, slow-burn romance, and a touch of magic. 'Those early stages of falling in love with someone, when even the touch of a finger just sends fireworks through you,' Slater told Cosmopolitan, 'that is what I loved the most about this.'
Starz has already renewed Blood of My Blood for season 2, with filming underway in Scotland. 'We loved what we did so much in season 1,' Roy told Glamour. 'So getting to do it all over again is so lucky, so fortunate.'
The first season includes 10 episodes. The first two premiere on August 8, and the rest will roll out weekly until the season finale on October 3.
New episodes begin streaming every Friday on the Starz site and app, and air on linear at 8 P.M. ET. You can also access the show by adding Starz to your existing streaming platforms, such as Prime Video and Hulu. Check out the full episode rollout below:

The actor Manny Jacinto says the best marriage advice he's ever gotten is to go to couples therapy when things are good
Manny Jacinto says a good tip he's received is to start couples therapy before problems arise. Otherwise, "it might be too late," the "Freakier Friday" actor said. He also finds it helpful to ask himself if he's reacting to his feelings or to what his partner is saying. "Freakier Friday" actor Manny Jacinto knows that the honeymoon phase doesn't last forever, but he doesn't wait for cracks to show before working on his marriage. In an interview with Cosmopolitan published on Tuesday, Jacinto said a good piece of relationship advice he once received was to "go to couples therapy before you need it." "It goes for therapy in general. You don't want to be going to couples therapy when you're in a really bad spot because sometimes it might be too late," Jacinto told Cosmopolitan. Having a neutral third party can help with communication and deepen understanding between partners, he said. Moreover, maintaining a marriage requires constant effort. "It takes work, time, and communication, but it's worth it. If it was easy, everybody would stay married. But it's not easy," Jacinto said. Jacinto, also known for his roles in "Top Gun: Maverick" and "Star Wars: The Acolyte," married fellow actor Dianne Doan in 2021. When navigating relationships, he said he finds it helpful to ask himself whether he is reacting to his feelings or to what his partner is actually saying. "So it can be as simple as, 'Am I hungry and is this why I'm acting like this? Or did I not get enough sleep? Am I actually responding to what they're saying properly and giving it the full attention?'" Jacinto said. "Because I noticed that if I don't get a good amount of sleep or if I'm hungry, if I'm having a bad day, that gets passed on to our relationship." A representative for Jacinto did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours. Other Hollywood celebrities have also shared why couples therapy is essential to their relationships. In August 2024, Rob Lowe said he and his wife of over 30 years, Sheryl Berkoff, have gone for counseling even when they "didn't need it." "It's like taking your car in and making sure the engine's running great," Lowe said. In March, Meghan Trainor told Business Insider that she and her husband, Daryl Sabara, started going to marriage counselling once a month. "We heard our friends were in couples therapy, which made us wonder if we should do that, too. We said to ourselves, 'Let's try it and see how we can get even closer,'" Trainor said.
