'Outlander: Blood of My Blood' season 2 trailer teases more romance, danger and time-travelling drama

Outlander: Blood of My Blood is returning for a second season, and the newly released trailer promises more romance, family conflict and dangerous twists across the show's two timelines.

The Outlander prequel follows the love stories of Jamie Fraser's parents, Ellen MacKenzie and Brian Fraser, in 18th-century Scotland, alongside the story of Claire's parents, Julia Moriston and Henry Beauchamp, in England during the First World War.

The new trailer offers another look at both couples as they navigate relationships that are complicated by the worlds around them. As with the first season, the series explores how love survives against a backdrop of war, social expectations and family loyalties.

Blood of My Blood expands the mythology of the original Outlander by showing the lives of the parents of two characters at the heart of Diana Gabaldon's story. The prequel therefore gives viewers a closer look at the family histories that eventually shape Jamie Fraser and Claire Fraser.

The second season also arrives after the conclusion of the original Outlander, whose eighth and final season wrapped up earlier this year. That makes the prequel particularly significant for fans who are not ready to leave the world of the Fraser family behind.

The series stars Harriet Slater as Ellen MacKenzie and Jamie Roy as Brian Fraser, with Hermione Corfield as Julia Moriston and Jeremy Irvine as Henry Beauchamp. The ensemble also includes Rory Alexander, Sam Retford, Jannik Schümann and Peter Mullan.

Outlander: Blood of My Blood was renewed for a second season after its debut, with the new episodes continuing the parallel stories established in season 1.

While the original Outlander centres on Claire and Jamie's time-crossed romance, Blood of My Blood uses the same historical-romance framework to explore how their parents' choices and relationships shaped the generations that followed.

The new season is expected to continue building connections between the two timelines while expanding the family drama and historical stakes that have become central to the franchise.

With the original series now complete, Blood of My Blood offers fans another way to remain in the Outlander universe while discovering more about the people and relationships that came before Claire and Jamie.

Outlander: Blood of My Blood season 2 is set to return to Starz, with the exact premiere date to be announced.
