Behind the Scenes: How the Cast Prepped for Outlander’s Prequel
Showrunner Matthew B. Roberts has kept the Outlander DNA intact while giving Blood of My Blood its own tone and flavor. The series tells two parallel love stories — one in the Scottish Highlands of the 18th century, and one in post–World War I England.
Jamie Roy revealed that Outlander veterans like Sam Heughan offered guidance as he stepped into the iconic Fraser family legacy. Hermione Corfield shared that she auditioned for another role before landing Julia Moriston — a character she says is “as strong as she is graceful.”
Why the Blood of My Blood Cast Works
This isn’t just about filling in the family tree. The Blood of My Blood cast is tasked with making viewers care as deeply for Brian, Ellen, Julia, and Henry as they do for Jamie and Claire. With a blend of heartfelt performances, fresh historical settings, and the emotional complexity Outlander is famous for, it looks like they’re already winning hearts.
