‘Outlander: Blood of My Blood’ Season 2 Release Date, Time and Where to Watch
Scotland is calling once again, and this time the wait is almost over. ‘Outlander: Blood of My Blood’ is set to return with a season that promises war, heartbreak, and the kind of forbidden romance that made the original series a phenomenon.
After ‘Outlander‘ wrapped its eight season run in May, the prequel spinoff is stepping up to keep the Fraser family saga alive, and the timing could not be more perfect for fans still processing that series finale. The show finally ended after eight seasons in May of 2026 with a finale that is likely to spark debate for a long time to come.
‘Outlander: Blood of My Blood’ Season 2 Release Date
The second season of the romantic epic prequel series will launch on September 18. The show wrapped filming in February 2026 before arriving this September. Mark your calendars now because this is the date every ‘Outlander’ fan has been waiting to hear since the season one finale left things hanging by a thread.
The first episode carries the title Remembrance Day, and it will plunge viewers right back into the story, catching everyone up with Brian and Ellen as well as Henry and Julia to set the stage for how their stories will intersect in the season ahead. That is a lot of ground to cover in a single premiere, but given how season one ended, fans will likely need every minute of it.
Season 2 moves Brian Fraser, Ellen MacKenzie, Henry Beauchamp, and Julia Moriston Beauchamp directly into the 1715 Jacobite Rising, where the love stories established in season one collide with war, clan politics, time travel, and inheritance. It is a heavier, more consequential chapter than what came before, and it sounds like nobody gets to walk away from this season unscathed.
Where to Watch ‘Blood of My Blood’ Season 2?
In the United States, the series airs on Starz and streams through the Starz app and Starz add on subscriptions, while viewers outside the U.S. can watch on MGM Plus. That international split has become fairly standard for the franchise, so longtime followers of the original show should already know the drill.
Episodes of Outlander Blood of My Blood premiere on Starz at 8 p.m. New installments will drop on Friday evenings, giving fans a weekly ritual to build their calendars around once again.
Season one is also still streaming on Starz for anyone who wants to catch up before the new episodes begin. Given how many new characters and timelines this prequel juggles, a quick rewatch before September 18 is not a bad idea for anyone feeling a little rusty on the details.
From there, all ten episodes will roll out one per week, arriving every Friday, with Starz confirming the launch date but not yet releasing the full episode by episode calendar. That means the exact finale date is still technically unconfirmed, though the math points to a late fall conclusion.
Henry and Julia’s Time Travel Cliffhanger
The season one finale left fans reeling, and the new trailer wastes no time addressing the fallout. The teaser reveals that only Henry returned to the 20th century after their attempt to escape through the stones, leaving Julia behind in the past.
It is suggested that Henry’s memory may have been affected, with a line about waking up every day knowing something is missing hinting that he may no longer remember Julia at all. Meanwhile, Julia herself is shown clutching a newborn child, who fans are already speculating could be a baby Claire.
The newly released full trailer teases the fate of Henry and Julia’s cliffhanger further, confirming he was sent traveling through time and separated from Julia and their newborn son once again. It is a gut punch of a setup, and one that immediately raises the emotional stakes heading into the new episodes.
Elsewhere in the footage, Brian and Ellen are shown caught between their warring clans amid big battle scenes that flip between the past and present, alongside the steamy chemistry fans of this franchise know so well. Balancing two separate love stories across two different timelines is no small task, but that dual structure has clearly become this show’s signature.
Cast and Behind-the-Scenes Details for Season 2
In addition to Jeremy Irvine, Hermione Corfield, Jamie Roy, and Harriet Slater, the cast includes Tony Curran as Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat, Séamus McLean Ross as Colum MacKenzie, Sam Retford as Dougal MacKenzie, Rory Alexander as Murtagh Fitzgibbons Fraser, and Conor MacNeill as Ned Gowan. That is a deep bench of familiar ‘Outlander’ surnames for longtime book and show fans to latch onto.
Matthew B. Roberts serves as showrunner for both the flagship series and this prequel, executive producing alongside Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis, Toni Graphia, Luke Schelhaas, Michael Wilson, Jim Kohlberg, and Luke Parker Bowles. The series is produced by Sony Pictures Television.
Roberts also spoke about the tone fans should expect from these new episodes. He shared that just as audiences fell in love with Jamie and Claire, he hopes viewers will be enamored by these new couples when they meet them this season.
The season’s love stories will now collide with the choices that eventually shape Jamie and Claire’s entire world, tying this prequel directly back into the mythology longtime fans already know by heart. With the Jacobite Rising now fully underway, it sounds like nobody in Brian and Ellen’s orbit will be able to sit this fight out.
With Henry possibly forgetting the love of his life and Julia stranded in the past with their newborn son, whose reunion or heartbreak are you rooting for hardest when ‘Outlander: Blood of My Blood’ returns on September 18.
