What To Expect From Outlander: Blood Of My Blood
Not much is known about the upcoming prequel series, other than that it will provide more context to Jamie and Claire’s parents and their backstories when they were young. For Jamie’s parents, his father, Brian, died prior to the events of season 1, while his mother, Ellen, hasn’t appeared in the series before. Claire’s parents are a different situation, with both Henry and Julia never showing up in the core series either. This will be the first time their importance onscreen becomes known, fleshing out the world of the historical fantasy show.
Given that both timelines will be following the love stories of each pair of characters, what they go through could end up being a reflection of their children’s romance in the future. SincetheOutlandertimelineis complex due to multiple time travelers and historical discrepancies,the new series' reflection of the parent show could be an important part of its story.Perhaps something within the new series will show how Claire and Jamie were always destined to be together, reinforcing their importance to one another through their parentage.
The show could also set the stage forOutlanderseason 8, which is scheduled to be the final season of the show. However, with the release date forOutlander: Blood of My Bloodstill up in the air,it’s unclear if the show is going to premiere before or after the flagship series ends.Either way, the context it gives to the franchise protagonists' past will serve a greater purpose in widening the world of the show in new, interesting ways.
Unlike the original show,Outlander: Blood of My Bloodis not based on a novel by Diana Gabaldon.
