‘Blood of My Blood’ Cast Guide: Who’s Who in the New ‘Outlander’ Show?
The Outlander universe has officially expanded, with the debut of Starz‘s new prequel series, Outlander: Blood of My Blood. The enchanting new Outlander show takes us back to 1714 Scotland to show us just how Jamie’s (Sam Heughan) parents, Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) and Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater), fell in love despite the odds.
Besides revealing just why Ellen’s brothers hated Jamie’s dad or what went down between Brian and his best friend (and fellow Ellen fan) Murtagh (Rory Alexander), Outlander: Blood of My Blood also reveals that Claire’s (Caitriona Balfe) parents were a part of the story. Yes, Claire’s mom and dad — Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine) — also traveled through the stones back to 18th century Scotland!
