Outlander: Blood Of My Blood Trailer Previews Love Stories Of Claire & Jamie's Parents In Different Timelines
The sweeping romance of Outlander: Blood of My Blood has been teased in a new trailer. The upcoming STARZ show is a prequel to Outlander, their 2014 series which follows the love between World War II nurse Claire (Caitríona Balfe) and Highland warrior Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) blossoming after she is transported back in time from 1945 to 1743. The upcoming Outlander: Blood of My Blood will follow the love stories of Jamie's parents Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) and Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater), as well as Claire's parents Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine).
STARZ has now released an official teaser trailer for Outlander: Blood of My Blood. The teaser, while brief, highlights the pair of sweeping epic romances at the center of the prequel series, showcasing the burgeoning love between the two couples as various circumstances threaten to tear them apart. It all culminates in the line "without you, I am adrift," which is longingly spoken with a sense of aching defeat. Watch the video below:
What This Means For Outlander: Blood Of My Blood
The Show Shares A Lot Of Outlander's DNA
Ultimately, this trailer, while short, reveals quite a bit. In addition to showcasing the new stars of the franchise in character, as well as some of the broader strokes of their storylines, it promises that the new show will be just as sweeping and epic of a romance as the original series. While it so far seems to lack the time travel element that gave the original Outlander a sci-fi edge, the fact that it cross-cuts between two different historical romances still gives it a unique angle.
It is possible that time travel could enter into the prequel at its periphery...
However, the trailer does not entirely shy away from the time travel angle. While the ticking clock and the title cards reading "two love stories connected by time" may just be references to Claire and Jamie's love that remind viewers of the original show, it is possible that time travel could enter into the prequel at its periphery. It may even be possible that members of the Outlander cast could appear, having traveled to either of the time periods in which the show takes place to have interactions with the core characters, who have no idea of their true nature.

The Franchise's Future Is In Good Hands
Ultimately, it remains to be seen if Outlander: Blood of My Blood contains any major connections to the wider franchise beyond the fact that the couplings of its core characters will eventually produce both Claire and Jamie. However, the epic romances revealed by the footage offer reassurance that the franchise will continue to dazzle even as the flagship show prepares to go off the air with the upcoming season 8, which does not yet have an official premiere date.
