Outlander: Blood of my Blood has burst onto Starz and Amazon MGM+ with all the vim and vigor of its predecessor Outlander, and we’ve only seen three out of 10 episodes. If you haven’t caught up yet, Blood of my Blood acts as a prequel to the main series, following Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie’s (Sam Heughan) parents, from World War I to the rugged Highlands of 18th century Scotland. They’re separate yet connected, in even more ways than we’re currently aware of.
As it stands, we’ve seen both pairs fall in love and l into their respective time travel journeys, but it’s Claire’s parents that I’m the most interested in. Henry (Jeremy Irvine) and Julia (Hermione Corfield) have fallen in love through a beautiful written correspondence before being brutally thrown back in time. They’ve been split up from one another along the way, finding their way back to each other while talking themselves into rewriting history in the process.
