Sam Heughan, who looks more than ready to pass that Outlander torch on to someone else, joined the castmembers of the new spinoff Outlander: Blood of My Blood for the LA premiere. Everybody was pretty and well-dressed, which is what you want for your romance series launch.
Also, they’re all surprisingly well coordinated.
Sam Heughan
It’s a little too ecclesiastic for our tastes, but it’s of high quality and well fitted. We really like this grooming for him. Pretty much all of Outlander fandom will disagree with us on this, but we never thought the longer hair suited him.
Hermione Corfield
It’s pretty and romantic in that “standing on the moors and catching the wind” kind of way. We don’t love irregular hems in any case, but we feel like you can have one OR you can have an asymmetrical neckline, but when you do both, it looks like a half-finished dress.
Harriet Slater
That skirt is gorgeously impractical, but totally on point. The top is an interesting design that works well with it, but we’d like it so much more if it weren’t sheer.
Jamie Roy
Giving the audience what they came to see. Traditionalists might get huffy about it, but we love the use of houndstooth in the kilt and the slightly punk-lite vibes of the jacket. He has spectacular hair.
ABOUT THE SEASON:
“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.
After 11 years of epic romance on the groundbreaking series “Outlander,” the timeless tale continues — or rather begins — on the eve of an earlier Jacobite rebellion. A prequel to “Outlander,” the series explores the lives and relationships of two couples as they fight against all odds to be together: the parents of “Outlander’s” Claire Randall — Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine); and those of “Outlander’s” Jamie Fraser — Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy). In addition to Corfield, Irvine, Slater, and Roy, “Outlander: Blood of my Blood” stars Tony Curran as Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat, Séamus McLean Ross as Colum MacKenzie, Sam Retford as Dougal MacKenzie, Rory Alexander as Murtagh Fitzgibbons Fraser, and Conor MacNeill as Ned Gowan.
The stand-alone prequel series features new cast, characters and stories welcoming viewers unfamiliar with the “Outlander” universe, while also providing origin stories of fan-favorite characters from early seasons of “Outlander,” and offering new perspectives that will change what viewers of the original series think they know.
Matthew B. Roberts serves as showrunner and executive producer on “Outlander: Blood of my Blood,” with Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis and Jim Kohlberg also serving as executive producers. “Outlander: Blood of my Blood” is produced by Sony Pictures Television.
New episodes of “Outlander: Blood of my Blood” will air weekly on Fridays at 8:00 pm ET/PT on STARZ in the U.S. and at 9:00 pm ET/PT in Canada.
