Excitement for the upcoming Starz drama Outlander: Blood Of My Blood‘s release this summer continues to grow with a new batch of images showing the parents of mothership series characters Jamie and Claire Fraser, among a few others.
The Outlander prequel spinoff follows the romance between Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine), and Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy). It will center on these two parallel love stories set in two different time periods.
A recently released teaser revealed that the passion and intensity from the original series will continue in Blood Of My Blood as the couples connect and merge their lives. Love is certainly in the air, but it won’t be without its challenges.
The large cast also includes Tony Curran as ‘Lord Lovat,’ Jamie Fraser’s grandfather; Rory Alexander, as a young ‘Murtagh Fitzgibbons Fraser’; Séamus McLean Ross as ‘Colum MacKenzie’; Sam Retford as ‘Dougal MacKenzie’; Conor MacNeill as ‘Ned Gowan’; Brian McCardie as the leader of Clan Grant, ‘Isaac’; Jhon Lumsden plays his son, ‘Malcolm’ and a potential suitor for Ellen MacKenzie; Sara Vickers as ‘Davina Porter’, a housekeeper in the Lovat household and mother to Brian Fraser; Peter Mullan as ‘Red Jacob MacKenzie’, Laird of Clan MacKenzie and father to Ellen, Dougal, Colum, Janet and Jocasta; Sally Messham as ‘Mrs. Fitz,’ Ellen’s maid at Castle Leoch and Murtagh’s aunt; Terence Rae as ‘Arch Bug,’ bodyguard to Clan Grant; Sadhbh Malin as ‘Jocasta Cameron,’ the feisty youngest child of the MacKenzie clan; and Ailsa Davidson as ‘Janet MacKenzie,’ the fifth and final MacKenzie sibling.
