We finally have a release date for the spinoffOutlander: Blood of My Blood, and it gives me hope that 2025 will be the best yearOutlanderhas ever had. The upcoming spinoff series will follow Jamie and Claire’s respective parents, jumping back and forth between their timelines in the 18th and 20th centuries. Precisely how the Frasers and Beauchamps' stories will connect is unclear, but there’s only a handful of months beforeOutlander: Blood of My Bloodpremieres and provides some answers. Then, there will be even moreOutlanderto come shortly after.
The news aboutOutlander: Blood of My Bloodwas especially exciting since the centralOutlanderseries has yet to come to an official close. There is still one more season left, andBlood of My Bloodwill release on Starz before season 8 officially premieres. We still don’t have an official premiere date forOutlanderseason 8, but it shouldn’t be long now since filming for the series' final episodes wrapped back in September 2024, beforeOutlanderseason 7 had even premiered. As we wait for more information,Starz announced thepremiere date forOutlander: Blood of My Blood.
Outlander: Blood Of My Blood Will Premiere In August 2025
The Perfect Way To End The Summer
Filming forOutlanderseason 8 andOutlander: Blood of My Bloodseason 1 wrapped only a few months apart, with the spinoff series announcing it was finished filming in July 2024. It was immediately rumored thatOutlander: Blood of My Bloodwould premiere in the summer of 2025, and Starz has officially delivered on this with the news thatthe spinoff’s first episode will release on August 09, 2025.
Outlander: Blood of My Bloodseason 1will have 10 episodes. Assuming that Starz releases a new episode weekly without interruption, the season 1 finale should air sometime around June 08, 2025. This is excellent news, sinceOutlander: Blood of My Bloodshould end just in time forOutlanderseason 8 to pick up its slot on Starz before the end of 2025.
There’s Still Time For Outlander Season 8 To Premiere At The End Of 2025
After So Much Waiting, 2025 Can Be Endless Outlander
Outlanderseason 7, part 2, premiered on Starz on July 26, 2025, and ran until the end of January 2025. HadOutlander: Blood of My Bloodpremiered its first season any later, I would have been concerned that we wouldn’t getOutlanderseason 8 until 2026. However, the fact that the spinoff’s first season is wrapping up in October could mean that Starz plans to releaseOutlander’s final season somewhere along the same dates in 2025 and 2026 as season 7 aired in 2024 and 2025. Wecould be wrapping upBlood of My Bloodseason 1 in October 2025 and picking upOutlanderseason 8 in November 2025.
This would essentially make 2025Outlander’s biggest year in history. We would be starting the calendar withOutlanderseason 7’s ending, wrapping up the summer with the first season ofOutlander: Blood of My Blood, and finishing off 2025 with the start ofOutlanderseason 8. So much of this fantasy universe in a single year is especially exciting considering all the waiting we have had to do in past seasons. Seasons 1 through 5 were released in consecutive years, but things got far more complicated after 2020. Multiple years would pass before we got more episodes, so now, 2025 could be our reward for all that patience.
What Outlander: Blood Of My Blood’s Premiere Season Could Mean For Outlander’s Ending
These Stories Can Link Together
Outlander: Blood of My Blood’s August 2025 premiere date could be a sign thatOutlanderseason 8 will still premiere this year, but we could take even further encouragement from this news. It’s intriguing that Starz would prioritize releasing thespinoff series beforeOutlanderofficially wrapped things up. It’s possible that the first season exploring Jamie and Claire’s parents will have some impact on the story of season 8.Perhaps there is context here that will make the final season ofOutlandereven better. While it may not be necessary to watch both, audiences that tune in for the spinoff could be at an advantage.
Or, we could even get an appearance from Master Raymond, who could show up in Outlander: Blood of My Blood to guide the Frasers and Beauchamps toward their respective destinies.
The filming and release schedules ofOutlander: Blood of My BloodandOutlanderseason 8 have me curious about whether there could be some character crossover from one series to the next. Perhaps Jamie and Claire will briefly appear in the spinoff in some sort of flash-forward scene. Or, we could even get an appearance from Master Raymond, who could show up inOutlander: Blood of My Bloodto guide the Frasers and Beauchamps toward their respective destinies. Only time will tell, but I’m hoping all our answers will arrive sooner rather than later.
