Even before the first season arrives in August, Starz has given a renewal to Outlander: Blood of My Blood.

“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,” Matthew B. Roberts, showrunner and executive producer noted, “Just as audiences fell in love with Jamie and Claire, we hope viewers will be enamored by these new couples when they meet them this summer.”

“The world of ‘Outlander’ has captivated audiences with its sweeping storytelling and unforgettable characters. With ‘Blood of my Blood,’ we’ve expanded the universe in a way that honors the original, while charting bold new territory,” added Kathryn Busby, President of Programming, STARZ. “Fans – longtime and new – will be drawn to the powerful love stories at the heart of this next chapter, and we’re proud to continue building on the franchise’s legacy with Matt and our longtime-partners at Sony who have worked tirelessly to make Outlander the global phenomenon it has become.”

Production on Season 2 of “Outlander: Blood of my Blood” began on June 23rd in Scotland on the same stages where the legacy series “Outlander” filmed for the past ten years.

A stand-alone prequel series set in the “Outlander” universe, “Outlander: Blood of my Blood” follows the romance between Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy), and Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine).
