The world of Outlander is far from over. Following the epic series finale of ‘Outlander’ last month, MGM+ and Sony Pictures Television have unveiled the first teaser trailer for the second season of ‘Outlander: Blood of My Blood,’ while also confirming a Saturday, September 19 premiere date.
The announcement arrives as part of this year’s World Outlander Day celebrations, giving fans their first glimpse at the next chapter in the acclaimed prequel series.
Season one introduced audiences to the sweeping love stories of Jamie Fraser’s parents, Brian Fraser and Ellen MacKenzie, as well as Claire Beauchamp’s parents, Henry and Julia Beauchamp. As the season progressed, viewers discovered just how deeply connected the two couples’ lives were as their stories unfolded across different eras.
The newly released teaser trailer offers an action-packed look at season two, highlighting the enduring bonds between both couples as they face new dangers, devastating separations and the looming threat of war.
Picking up directly after the dramatic season one finale, Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine) and Julia Beauchamp (Hermione Corfield) find themselves facing the consequences of their unexpected journey through time. After finally reuniting at the standing stones of Craigh na Dun in hopes of returning home to their young daughter Claire, the new footage reveals a heartbreaking twist, with Julia left alone with their baby while Henry becomes separated from his family once again.
As Henry struggles to find his way back to Julia, he must also confront his deteriorating mental health while navigating the dangers of 18th-century Scotland.
Meanwhile, Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) and Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) face their own challenges as the 1715 Jacobite Rising erupts across the Highlands. Their hard-won romance appeared victorious against family opposition, but the outbreak of rebellion forces them to choose between personal devotion and clan loyalty.
With fiery crosses calling clans to arms, Brian answers his duty to fight while Ellen attempts to mend fractured relationships with her family. As war spreads throughout Scotland, both couples will once again be tested by circumstances beyond their control.
The series also stars Tony Curran as Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat, Séamus McLean Ross as Colum MacKenzie, Sam Retford as Dougal MacKenzie, Rory Alexander as Murtagh Fitzgibbons Fraser and Conor MacNeill as Ned Gowan.
Matthew B. Roberts serves as showrunner for both ‘Outlander’ and ‘Outlander: Blood of My Blood.’ Roberts also executive produces alongside Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis, Toni Graphia, Luke Schelhaas, Michael Wilson, Jim Kohlberg and Luke Parker Bowles.
‘Outlander: Blood of My Blood’ season 2 premieres Saturday, September 19 on MGM+.
