How ‘Blood of My Blood’ found its love language
August 26, 2025
|Los Angeles Times
“Outlander” meets “How I Met Your Mother”? Not quite.
"BLOOD of My Blood" shows how two couples, and future parents to "Outlander" characters, fell in love. Actors Jeremy Irvine and Hermione Corfield, top; and Jamie Roy and Harriet Slater, above.
But “Outlander: Blood of My Blood” is a prequel to Starz’s romance epic that focuses on the parents of both protagonists from the original series, Jamie Fraser and Claire Beauchamp.
The series alternates between World War I-era Scotland and the Scottish Highlands of the 18th century, often intertwining as it chronicles the courtship and obstacles faced by Jamie’s parents — Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) and Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) — and Claire’s — Julia (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine).
Here, showrunner Matthew B. Roberts discusses the inspiration for the show's swoon-worthy love letters and reveals which TV drama he recently watched that echoes themes explored in “Outlander” through a modern lens.
What do you find intriguing about each couple’s story and what it telegraphs about Claire and Jamie’s connection and their attitudes on love?
