The latter half of the 2025 TV schedule was confirmed as an exciting time for fans of the Outlander world as soon as Starz confirmed the premiere date for the prequel spinoff, Outlander: Blood of My Blood. Even with the original series’ final season pushed back to 2026, time travel romance aplenty is on the way. That of course doesn’t mean I wasn’t on the edge of my seat at the recent Outlander panel at San Diego Comic-Con when none other than Raya Yarbrough came out on stage for a live performance of the iconic “Skye Boat Song” theme that has played over the opening credits of every Outlander episode.
As enough of a fan of the song that more than one variation has popped up in my most-listened to Spotify playlist at the end of the year, I was all-in from my place in the audience at SDCC when the singer took the stage. Now, though, I’m wondering if it has affected my thoughts on the theme for Blood of My Blood, released ahead of the August 8 premiere.
