Hermione Corfield plays Claire Fraser's mum Julia in the prequel show Blood of my Blood.
The release of Outlander's prequel Blood of My Blood is just a few months away and fans are literally counting down the hours to get their Outlander fix.
The brand new show will delve into the tales of how Jamie's and Claire's parents first crossed paths. The prequel is set to whisk viewers away to the "war-ravaged battlegrounds of World War One to the expansive Highlands of 18th Century Scotland", showcasing "two fresh love stories brimming with loyalty, passion and desire".
The characters of Claire's parents, Julia and Henry, will be brought to life by We Hunt Together star Hermione Corfield and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again actor Jeremy Irvine.
The parents of Jamie Fraser, Brian Fraser and Ellen MacKenzie, will be portrayed by Condor's Nest actor Jamie Roy and Belgravia: The Next Chapter actress Harriet Slater.
And now, the four have reunited for the official premiere of the show in LA. Fans couldn't get enough of Hermione Corfield, who plays Claire's mother Julia Beauchamp, as she shared snaps on her Instagram page.
Sharing a series of snaps of herself in a stunning blue and white floral dress, followed by a snap of the cast in a pink cart, Hermione penned: "Blood of my Blood screening at @sonypictures shot by @cibellelevi."
Many fans flocked to the comments to compliment Hermione. One said: "Oh my! This is next level Hermione."
Another penned: "These are some really stunning shots."
While one commented: "Love the dress girl!" And another said: "You look gorgeous."
Joining the four on the cast list are Your Honor's Tony Curran as Simon Fraser, Rebus' Seamus McLean Ross as Colum MacKenzie, Ackley Bridge's Sam Retford as Dougal MacKenzie, Rory Alexander as Murtagh Fitzgibbons Fraser and BBC Two's Industry actor Conor MacNeill as Ned Gowan.
The prequel, titled Outlander: Blood Of My Blood, is based on both the original TV series and the book series by Diana Gabaldon. It delves into the early 20th Century in England and the 18th Century in Scotland.
Blood Of My Blood will explore the love stories of Jamie's parents Brian and Ellen, who must navigate clan politics, while Claire's parents, Henry and Julia, maintain a long-distance relationship due to the war.
Outlander fans will recall that Claire's parents tragically died in a car crash when she was just five-years-old, adding a layer of tragedy to their story.
Matthew B Roberts, the executive producer and showrunner of the original series, has written and produced Outlander: Blood Of My Blood, with Gabaldon returning as a consulting producer.
Outlander: Blood Of My Blood will debut on Saturday, August 9, on MGM+.
