The world of Outlander introduces fresh characters in the prequel series Outlander: Blood of My Blood. This series, set before Claire and Jamie were born, explores the love stories of their parents in different eras: 1714 and World War I Scotland.
Ellen McKenzie, Jamie's mother, begins her journey following her father's death, as she navigates her role in the family dynamics and encounters Brian Fraser, Jamie's father. Brian, a man driven by integrity rather than power, becomes Ellen’s romantic interest.
In parallel, Claire's parents are explored during World War I. Julia works at a postal censorship office, seeking equality and empowerment, while her romance develops with Henry, a frontline soldier. Henry shares Claire’s time-traveling abilities, shaping the future events of the original series.
The series revisits known characters in younger forms and introduces new faces. It delves into the challenges of love across time and war, addressing themes of destiny and connection. While a crossover with the original series is not planned, Blood of My Blood deepens the lore of Outlander by exploring these significant backstories.
