STARZ continues to round out the cast for Outlander: Blood of My Blood, announcing today additional casting for several roles in the highly anticipated prequel series. Ready?
Here we go!
Joining the cast in a role Outlander fans will recognize from early seasons is Sally Messham as “Mrs. Fitz,” Ellen’s maid at Castle Leoch and Murtagh’s aunt. Terence Rae will be playing another role familiar to fans of the flagship series, “Arch Bug,” who’s working as a bodyguard to Clan Grant.
Sadhbh Malin will be playing another fan-favorite character, “Jocasta Cameron,” the feisty youngest child of the MacKenzie clan; and Ailsa Davidson will be playing her sister “Janet MacKenzie,” the fifth (and final) MacKenzie sibling.
Meanwhile, in the 20th century, Annabelle Dowler joins the cast as “Lizbeth,” Julia’s boss at the War Department; and Harry Eaton as “Private Charlton,” Henry Beauchamp’s fellow soldier and friend.
Outlander: Blood of My Blood will explore the lives and relationship of Jamie’s parents, Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) and Claire’s parents, Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine).
The series will center on these two parallel love stories set in two different time periods, with Jamie’s parents in the early 18th century Scottish Highlands and Claire’s parents in WWI England. Production on the 10-episode season is underway in Scotland.
Matthew B Roberts will serve as showrunner and executive producer on both series. Ronald D. Moore and Maril Davis will also executive produce. Moore and Davis developed Outlander for television, under their production banner Tall Ship Productions.
Story Mining & Supply Company will also executive produce, and Diana Gabaldon will serve as a consulting producer. Outlander: Blood of My Blood is produced by Sony Pictures Television. The series will be available across all STARZ platforms in the U.S. and Canada.
Outlander: Blood of my Blood will premiere on STARZ soon.
