Outlander: Blood of My Blood Season 2 Release Date Just Got a Major Shake-Up
Production has wrapped on Outlander: Blood of My Blood Season 2, signaling a major release date update as the hit prequel’s premiere window comes into focus.
Quick update for the Outlander diehards: Outlander: Blood of My Blood Season 2 has officially wrapped filming. That clears up some of the timeline questions everyone keeps asking, even if STARZ is still refusing to stamp an actual date on it.
Season 2 is in the can
STARZ announced the wrap on its Instagram, posting behind-the-scenes photos to mark the end of production. Filming kicked off over the summer, which is notable because the network had already renewed the prequel for Season 2 before Season 1 even premiered. Translation: they were confident enough to keep the machine running ahead of the audience reaction.
What that probably means for timing
Now that cameras are down, the show moves into post-production. A common rule of thumb in TV is that post takes about as long as the shoot. Season 2 reportedly spent about six months filming, which puts a reasonable speculative window around June 2026.
Emphasis on speculative. STARZ has not announced a release window, and they have a habit of holding finished series longer than fans expect. Also in the mix: scheduling against the mothership. Outlander Season 8 is gearing up to premiere in March, and the network may want space between the end of the main show and the return of the prequel. So even if the episodes are ready early, do not be shocked if they sit on them a bit.
- Confirmed: Season 2 has wrapped filming, per STARZ on Instagram, with BTS photos to prove it.
- Timeline math: about six months of production; post often runs a similar length.
- Speculation: a June 2026 premiere makes sense if post mirrors the shoot.
- Not confirmed: any official release date or even a release window from STARZ.
- Wildcards: Outlander Season 8 arrives in March; STARZ sometimes shelves finished shows to space out the schedule.
A quick refresher on the prequel
Blood of My Blood tracks the parents of Claire Fraser (played in the flagship series by Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan). The show runs two parallel storylines that start in different time periods and eventually collide via time travel. It digs into the mythology of Outlander but plays as its own narrative, so you do not need a PhD in Fraser history to follow it.
If you want a head start before Season 2, Season 1 of Outlander: Blood of My Blood is streaming now on STARZ.
