Outlander: Blood of My Blood season 1 premiered with the first two episodes on August 8, 2025, on Starz. Featuring 10 episodes, the historical drama is set to conclude on October 10, 2025.

The plot revolves around two love stories set in different timelines - England during the early 20th century and Scotland in early 18th century. The time travel element brings the narratives together and is reminiscent of Jamie and Claire's story from Outlander, adding a sense of nostalgia to the series.

The official synopsis of the show, as per Rotten Tomatoes, reads:

"Outlander: Blood of my Blood" is a romantic saga that unfolds across time. From the battlefields of World War I to the rugged Highlands of 18th century Scotland, two fated couples must defy the forces that seek to tear them apart, intersecting in surprising and unforeseen ways."
