Canceled or Renewed? The Fate of Outlander: Blood of My Blood Season 2
Outlander: Blood of My Blood bowed on Starz August 8 and wrapped October 10, but Jamie Fraser’s parents’ saga may not be over — here’s where Season 2 stands and whether renewal or the chopping block awaits.
Short version: no, Starz did not cancel the Outlander prequel. Quite the opposite. They pulled the trigger on Season 2 before Season 1 even hit the air. So if you wrapped the finale on October 10 and started sweating, you can relax.
Renewal status
Starz renewed 'Outlander: Blood of My Blood' for Season 2 ahead of the August 8, 2025 premiere. Yep, renewed before anyone saw a frame. Filming on the new season is already happening in Scotland, because of course it is.
"The passion and talent our cast and crew have poured into 'Outlander: Blood of My Blood' has been extraordinary, and we’re thrilled to continue these epic love stories in Season Two. Just as audiences fell in love with Jamie and Claire, we hope viewers will be enamored by these new couples when they meet them this summer."
That is from creator/showrunner Matthew B. Roberts, who is clearly feeling good about where this thing is headed.
What this prequel actually is
'Outlander: Blood of My Blood' is a drama set in the same world as 'Outlander,' created by Matthew B. Roberts and based on characters from Diana Gabaldon. The series turns the clock back to focus on Jamie Fraser's parents and, more broadly, traces two intertwined love stories across different eras. Roberts runs the show and executive produces, with Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis, and Jim Kohlberg also on board as executive producers. Starz programming chief Kathryn Busby is already positioning the next chapter as more sweeping romance, and she gave a nod to their longtime partners at Sony for helping turn 'Outlander' into a global hit.
Season 1 rundown
Season 1 premiered August 8, 2025 on Starz and wrapped October 10. If you were waiting to see if it would stick the landing before investing, well, it stuck enough for Starz to greenlight Season 2 months ago.
Main cast (Season 1)
- Jamie Roy as Brian Fraser
- Harriet Slater as Ellen McKenzie
- Hermione Corfield as Julia Moriston
- Jeremy Irvine as Henry Beauchamp
- Also featuring Sam Retford, Séamus McLean Ross, Tony Curran, Rory Alexander, and Conor MacNeill
The vibe and the scope
The show spans from the trenches of World War I to the 18th-century Scottish Highlands, following two couples who keep getting pushed apart by time, war, and every other obstacle you can throw at a period romance. The point is the journey: love stories that unfold in unexpected ways across two very different time periods.
Bottom line: Season 2 is locked in, cameras are rolling in Scotland, and Starz is clearly betting that these earlier Fraser-era romances will hook the same audience that fell for Jamie and Claire.
