Starz has confirmed the second season of the Outlander prequel, Outlander: Blood of My Blood, will premiere Friday, September 18, and the newly released trailer sketches a darker, more volatile Scotland than viewers saw last year. The footage answers some lingering questions from season one while signaling fresh danger for the characters who travel through the standing stones.
Trailer reveals and immediate stakes
The new preview makes clear that time travel remains unpredictable: several characters pass back through the stones, but not all arrive where — or when — they expect. Scenes shift between quiet Highland life and the chaos of mounting conflict, signaling that personal reunions will be tested by broader political turmoil.
For viewers following Outlander’s timeline, the season positions itself at the opening of the Jacobite era. That historical backdrop is not just scenery; it reshapes loyalties and forces choices that could alter the origins fans already associate with the main series.
Who’s at the center
The series continues to explore the family lines that lead to Claire and Jamie Fraser. Jeremy Irvine and Hermione Corfield headline as Henry and Julia Beauchamp, while Jamie Roy and Harriet Slater play Brian Fraser and Ellen MacKenzie — the younger generation whose destinies intersect across the stones.
Supporting performances include Tony Curran, Séamus McLean Ross, Sam Retford, Rory Alexander and Conor MacNeill, each portraying figures who will be drawn into clan rivalries and battlefield decisions. The ensemble suggests the season will balance intimate family moments with broader military and political drama.
Behind the camera
Matthew B. Roberts returns as showrunner, shepherding the series alongside executive producers including Ronald D. Moore and Maril Davis. That production team signals continuity with the established Outlander universe while aiming to expand the prequel’s scope and scale.
- Premiere date: Friday, September 18 on Starz.
- Setting: Early 1700s Scotland, at the dawn of the Jacobite Uprising.
- Time-travel element: The trailer shows multiple characters using the stones at Craigh na Dun, with unexpected destinations.
- Character focus: The parents of Claire and Jamie, and the clan figures who shape their futures.
- Creative team: Showrunner Matthew B. Roberts, with executive production credited to Ronald D. Moore and others.
The tone of the trailer suggests this season will test loyalties and raise the stakes for anyone caught between family ties and the pressures of rising rebellion. Expect smaller, character-driven scenes to sit alongside sequences of violence and political maneuvering.
Season two looks set to deepen the prequel’s links to the original Outlander story while expanding the historical canvas — making it essential viewing for fans tracking the series’ chronology and anyone interested in how personal histories are reshaped by war and time travel.
Watch the full season beginning September 18 on Starz.
