Exciting news for ‘Outlander’ fans as the prequel series ‘Outlander: Blood of My Blood’ has added 6 new actors to its cast. The series will follow the lives of Claire’s parents, Julia Moriston and Henry Beauchamp, as well as Jamie’s parents, Ellen MacKenzie and Brian Fraser.

Production on the 10-episode prequel to the Starz popular period drama Outlander in Scotland began in February. The series will focus on two parallel love tales set in opposite historical periods: Jamie’s parents in the early 18th century Scottish Highlands and Claire’s parents in WWI England.
The original series features Caitriona Balfe as Claire Fraser and Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser. Diana Gabaldon, who serves as a consulting producer on both episodes, is the inspiration behind the franchise.
