Starz has just revealed the premiere date for Outlander: Blood of my Blood, which is a stand-alone prequel series in the beloved Outlander universe. The cast will include Hermione Corfield as Julia Moriston, Jeremy Irvine as Henry Beauchamp, Harriet Slater as Ellen MacKenzie, Jamie Roy as Brian Fraser, Tony Curran as Simon Fraser/Lord Lovat, Séamus McLean Ross as Colum MacKenzie, Sam Retford as Dougal MacKenzie, Rory Alexander as Murtagh Fitzgibbons Fraser, and Conor MacNeill as Ned Gowan.

Outlander: Blood of my Blood 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 “Outlander,” and offering new perspectives that will change what viewers of the original series think they know.

In addition to a previously released teaser, new artwork teasing the two lead couples who will bring to life the parents of Claire and Jamie has also been shared.

Julia Moriston and Henry Beauchamp’s story is described with, "Their love is a beacon that carries them through the dark." Meanwhile, Ellen MacKenzie and Brian Fraser’s story asks the question, "Can true love overcome rival clans?"

Outlander's Matthew B. Roberts serves as showrunner and executive producer, with Ronald D. Moore and Maril Davis returning as executive producers.

Outlander: Blood of my Blood brings viewers from the war-torn battlefields of WWI to the sweeping Highlands of 18th century Scotland, promising two new love stories filled with loyalty, passion and desire, as the young couples defy the forces that seek to tear them apart.

The new timeless romantic drama will officially premiere on Friday, August 8. After that, new episodes will air weekly at 8 PM ET/PT on STARZ and stream weekly on Fridays only on the STARZ app, all STARZ streaming, and on-demand platforms.
