AceShowbiz - Executive Producer Ronald D. Moore announced at San Diego Comic-Con that "Blood of My Blood" has "wrapped filming," indicating the completion of its first season. The "Outlander" series will introduce the parents of Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser, exploring their love stories in parallel time periods.

The prequel will feature Jeremy Irvine as Henry Beauchamp, Hermoine Corfield as Julia Mortiston, Jamie Roy as Brian Fraser, and Harriet Slater as Ellen MacKenzie. Filming has taken place in World War I era England and the 18th Century Scottish Highlands, mirroring the settings of the original show.

"Blood of My Blood" will consist of 10 episodes in its inaugural season. Moore explained that the episode count resulted from a combination of factors, including network scheduling, budget, and practical considerations.
