stranger Season 8 may have had a painful ending just a few months ago, but fear not: prequel series Outlander: Blood of my blood is about to take command once again.

After debuting on Starz and MGM+ last year, the series follows two couples who are transported from the battlefields of World War I to the rugged Highlands of 18th-century Scotland without really understanding how they got there. Does it remind you of something?

Hurrah! Outlander: Blood of my blood Season 2 will premiere on September 18, 2026.

We can expect the new episodes to follow Season 1’s release schedule of one new episode per week, and while nothing is confirmed, we can also assume that it will have the same number of episodes (10).

The release schedule should be the same on Starz (US) as it is on MGM+ (international).

Season 1 ended with Henry and Julia reuniting at the stones of Craigh na Dun, hoping to return to their own time and their young daughter, Claire (yes, the one from stranger).

From what we know about season 2 so far, it will pick up at that very moment, when Julia is seen alone holding the baby.

As Starz says: “Separated from his love and hope, Henry must deal with his mental health as he struggles to find his way back to her.”

“You’ll see your characters at the end of Season 1, and then where they start Season 2 is not what you’d expect,” Irvine told TechRadar shortly after Season 1’s release.

“I wasn’t expecting it. I was very confused when I went to my first costume fitting and saw the costumes and said, ‘What the hell is that for?'”

What happens to Ellen and Brian is less clear, as they are only seen briefly in the new trailer. However, the best thing is that they are not separated.

Will there be a crossover with Outlander?

At the time of writing, there is no indication that stranger and its prequel series will have a direct crossover. However, due to the nature of time travel in the world, we cannot rule it out either.

For a simple crossover to work, Claire and Jamie would have had to travel to a different time after the stranger Finale of season 8, which as we know, was its last season. Therefore, it is unlikely that this type of crossover will occur, because otherwise nothing that happened in stranger Season 1 would make some sense.

What would be more likely is a flash-forward. Instead of Claire and Jamie traveling back in time, Ellen, Brian, Julia and Henry could travel forward. Balfe and Heughan could return to film new scenes if their parents’ paths crossed. stranger Season 1 journey, watching from a hidden distance without anyone noticing.
