New set photos have been released from the upcoming Outlander prequel, Blood of My Blood. These photos give fans a glimpse of Claire's parents as they film in Glasgow, Scotland. The prequel is set to explore how Claire's parents met during World War I, as well as Jamie's parents meeting in the 18th century. Unlike the original Outlander series, which is based on Diana Gabaldon's books, this prequel will feature a brand new story.
The Herald recently shared set photos from the upcoming Outlander: Blood of My Blood, showcasing Claire's parents for the first time. The images capture Julia Moriston (played by Hermoine Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (played by Jeremy Irvine) on a set of stairs in Glasgow, with a horse-drawn carriage in the background. Some of the photos focus on the couple engaged in an emotional conversation on the stairs, while others show Julia walking with the carriage behind her.

It was initially announced that the prequel would focus on Jamie's parents, Ellen and Brian, with Claire's parents also playing a prominent role. This raises questions about how much attention the 20th-century couple will receive and how their story will connect to the overall narrative. However, considering the new series' emphasis on bloodlines, it's logical to include Claire's heritage as well.
The upcoming show's timeline and connection to the main series remain uncertain. As the eighth season of Outlander will be its final one, Blood of My Blood may contain crucial details for the concluding episodes. Additionally, with season 7 part 2 yet to begin, there could be early hints and references to its storyline.
Outlander: Blood of My Blood is set to take place in its two distinct time periods, which may not cause confusion in the Outlander series timeline with additional time travel. However, there is still much unknown about the series, and it is possible that the love stories it presents are more interconnected than anticipated. The details of how Claire and Jamie's parents' stories intertwine may only be unveiled once the series airs.
The premiere date of Outlander: Blood of My Blood on Starz is currently undisclosed. Meanwhile, Outlander season 7 is scheduled to make its return to Starz in 2024.
