S A Journey to the Highlands
The family receive a warm welcome at Duneagle Castle when they visit Rose and her parents in the Highlands. But there is no disguising the tensions between their hosts. Back at Downton, Carson is determined to keep the servants working hard, but with a country fair coming up, will some be tempted to push their luck? Could romance be on the cards for Mrs Patmore?
If you're a fan of historical dramas intertwined with romance, then *Outlander: Blood of My Blood* is a must-watch for you! This new series acts as a prequel to the acclaimed *Outlander*, diving deep into the rich history and backstories of beloved characters. Premiering on August 8, 2025, on Starz, Season 1 consists of three captivating episodes that explore two parallel love stories set across different time periods: one in the breathtaking Scottish Highlands during the early 18th century and another amid the turmoil of World War I England.
The narrative draws viewers into the lives of Jamie Fraser's parents, Brian Fraser and Ellen MacKenzie, as they navigate their passionate romance amidst cultural traditions and societal expectations. On the other hand, we witness Claire Beauchamp's parents, Julia Moriston and Henry Beauchamp, who maintain their love through heartfelt letters exchanged during Henry’s service in WWI. Their emotional struggles resonate deeply as they face challenges that threaten to keep them apart. The clever use of time travel adds an intriguing dimension to these tales, particularly highlighting how Claire's parents' journey intersects with historical events.
One standout feature of *Blood of My Blood* is its talented cast. Harriet Slater shines as Ellen MacKenzie alongside Jamie Roy as Brian Fraser, creating a palpable chemistry that captivates audiences from their first meeting at a gathering. Hermione Corfield portrays Julia Moriston beautifully while Jeremy Irvine brings depth to Henry Beauchamp’s character. The ensemble also includes notable performances by Rory Alexander as Murtagh Fitzgibbons Fraser and Sam Retford as Dougal MacKenzie—both familiar names for fans of historical dramas like *Poldark* and *Call the Midwife*. Each actor breathes life into their roles with compelling performances that enhance the series’ emotional weight.
