“Outlander” meets “How I Met Your Mother”? Not quite.

How ‘Blood of My Blood’ found its love language

"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?
