To celebrate the release of Outlander: Blood of My Blood – now streaming on MGM+ – we sat down with the amazing cast to find out all the secrets about the anticipated prequel!

The prequel is a romantic saga that unfolds across time. From the battlefields of World War I to the rugged Highlands of 18th-century Scotland, two fated couples must defy the forces that seek to tear them apart, unfolding in surprising and unforeseen ways.

After 11 years of epic romance on the groundbreaking series Outlander, the timeless tale continues – or rather begins – on the eve of an earlier Jacobite rebellion. A prequel to Outlander, the series explores the lives and relationships of two couples as they fight against all odds to be together: the parents of Outlander’s Claire Randall — Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine); and those of Outlander’s Jamie Fraser — Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy).

Hermione, Jeremy, Harriet & Jamie discuss the challenges and joys of bringing their characters to life, from navigating love stories and intimate moments on screen to handling the weight of stepping into such an iconic franchise. They also share what it’s like to be embraced by the passionate Outlander fandom, filming in incredible Scottish locations, and balancing history, fantasy, and romance in the series.
