AUGUST 8 – STARZ’s OUTLANDER: BLOOD OF MY BLOOD *Series Premiere*

• A prequel to the groundbreaking series OUTLANDER, OUTLANDER: BLOOD OF MY BLOOD is a romantic saga that unfolds across time. From the battlefields of World War I to the rugged Highlands of 18th century Scotland, two fated couples must defy the forces that seek to tear them apart, intersecting in surprising and unforeseen ways. After 11 years of epic romance on OUTLANDER, the timeless tale begins on the eve of an earlier Jacobite rebellion. The series explores the lives and relationships of two couples as they fight against all odds to be together: the parents of Claire Randall – Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine) – and those of Jamie Fraser – Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy). The stand-alone prequel series features new cast, characters, and stories, welcoming viewers unfamiliar with the OUTLANDER universe, while also providing origin stories of fan-favorite characters from early seasons of the show and offering new perspectives on the characters they thought they knew. The first two episodes of OUTLANDER: BLOOD OF MY BLOOD drop Friday, August 8 and follows a weekly release schedule with new episodes streaming on subsequent Fridays on STARZ.
