It's been confirmed that worldwide hit fantasy drama Outlander is coming to an end after Season 8, but it'll be replaced with a prequel series.
'Outlander: Blood of My Blood' will look into the lives and relationship of Jamie Fraser's parents, Brian Fraser and Ellen MacKenzie and is expected to run as 10 episodes.
TV bosses say that the prequel will be available on LIONSGATE+ in the UK, Australia, Latin America, including Brazil, and across all STARZ platforms in the U.S. and Canada.
Executive producer Matthew B. Roberts, said: "'Blood of My Blood' is, at its heart, a love story. It will explore what lengths a person will go to find love in a time when love is considered a luxury, and when marriages are made strategically, often for political or financial gain.
"The title is a nod to Jamie Fraser’s marriage vow to Claire and there will be several names and faces that ‘Outlander’ fans will know and recognize.
"Jamie and Claire’s TV story may be coming to an end with Season Eight, but Diana is continuing on with their literary journey in her wonderful book series and is working diligently on Book Ten.
"With Jamie and Claire, and now Brian and Ellen, there is still so much more to come in the ‘Outlander’ universe, and we cannot wait to continue sharing these stories with our dedicated fans."
In December, Sam Heughan who plays Jamie Fraser, confirmed that Outlander Season 7 would be returning to our screens this year.
Outlander seasons 1-6 are available on Starz in the USA and Lionsgate+ via Amazon Prime Video in the UK.
