Outlander: Blood of My Blood will return for its second season on September 18, continuing the prequel storyline centered on the parents of the original series’ main characters. The 10-episode season picks up after the first season’s reunions of two central couples: Ellen MacKenzie and Brian Fraser, as well as Julia and Henry Beauchamp, all of whom found their way back together in 18th-century Scotland by the end of the inaugural run.
According to the official trailer, the new season introduces major complications involving time travel through the standing stones of Craigh Na Dun. The preview indicates that Henry Beauchamp travels through the stones but emerges in an undisclosed time period at a psychiatric hospital, where he must confront his mental health struggles as a World War I veteran. Julia, meanwhile, does not make it through and is forced to return to Castle Leathers to face her abusive husband, Lord Lovat, who remains unaware that the child she carries is not his biological son.
The political landscape shifts dramatically with the approaching Jacobite rising of 1715. Brian Fraser must pledge allegiance to his father, Lord Lovat, while navigating his commitment to Ellen MacKenzie. Ellen and Brian’s relationship faces additional strain following a violent confrontation in the season one finale, where Brian killed Ellen’s jilted former betrothed in self-defense. As Brian joins the conflict, Ellen returns to Castle Leoch to manage her family’s internal disputes and devise strategies to protect Clan MacKenzie from Crown retaliation regardless of the uprising’s outcome.
The series is led by showrunner Matthew B. Roberts and produced by Sony Pictures Television, with executive producers including Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis, and others. New episodes will stream weekly on Starz beginning September 18.
