Outlander season 7 officially set the stage for the spinoff series Outlander: Blood of My Blood. After a year of waiting, Claire and Jamie’s story is finally back with the midseason premiere, starting with Outlander season 7, episode 9. The part 2 episode begins with the return of Claire, Jamie and young Ian to Scotland, while Roger and Buck MacKenzie cross the rocks in search of Jemmy. Roger believed he had landed around 1776, and for a moment it looked as if he would be reunited with Jamie at Lallybroch. Of course, it didn’t work out that way.
After traveling through the stones and returning to Lallybroch, Roger realized that he had instead traveled to the late 1730s. Up to this point in OutlanderClaire, Roger and Brianna only traveled between two parallel points in history. Of course, there were hints that one could travel to virtually any time, as demonstrated by Geillis Duncan’s jump from the 1960s to before the historic Battle of Culloden. However, the core crew of the Outlander seemed to be more or less tied between the “gift” and its related point in the future – until now.
Outlander Season 7 Episode 9 Introduced Roger to Brian Fraser, Jamie’s Father
Brian previously only appeared in flashbacks
When Roger knocked on Lallybroch’s door in Outlander season 7, episode 9, he expected to be greeted by Ian Murray. However, he was welcomed by the very much alive Brian Fraser, Jamie’s father, who was laird until his death, a few years before Claire’s first arrival in the past. Andrew Whipp returns to Outlander to play Brian, who had previously appeared in flashbacks. However, this is the first time that Jamie’s father has been portrayed interacting in real time with characters from the future. This is a very significant moment, as Brian will be his own main character Outlander series.
Brian Fraser will be the main character in Outlander: Blood Of My Blood
Jamie’s parents are the focus of the Outlander spinoff
THE Outlander spin-off series, Outlander: Blood of My Blood, will follow young Brian Fraser as he falls in love with Jamie’s mother, Ellen MacKenzie. Audiences will get to know these characters like never before, which is why Brian’s introduction in Outlander season 7 is so significant. It’s a chance to see who he is outside of Jamie’s perspective, thus generating interest in Brian’s character before Outlander: Blood of My Blood fully immerses yourself in its story. Of course, this isn’t exactly the version of Brian Fraser who will lead the spinoff, as Blood of my blood will be defined a little further in the past.
Whipp plays Brian after the death of his wife, Ellen, and near the end of his life in Outlander Season 7, Episode 9. Outlander: Blood of My Blood will be defined decades earlier, around 1716, and Brian will be played by Jamie Roy. The spinoff will feature a young, edgy version of the character, but that makes Whipp’s portrayal a Outlander 7th season even more valuable. The mature, self-confident, experienced, but also clearly jaded version of Brian seen in this mid-season premiere will contrast beautifully with his counterpart in Blood of my bloodallowing for an immediately dynamic character from the start.
Could more characters from Outlander: Blood Of My Blood appear in Outlander’s final seasons?
Outlander’s ending has a chance to set up the spinoff even further
Outlander There’s only a season and a half left to go, and filming on all of these episodes has already been completed. Outlander: Blood of My Blood has also finished filming its first season, although no official release window has been revealed. Still, judging by this information, It certainly seems like these two series are coordinated with each other. One’s story will certainly serve to set up the other’s, just as Whipp’s Brian Fraser was brought to the screen in Outlander Season 7, another one is likely Blood of my blood characters will also appear.
Just as Whipp’s Brian Fraser was brought to the screen in Outlander season 7, it’s likely other Blood of My Blood characters will appear as well.
Roger’s time traveling adventures in Outlander season 7 and perhaps season 8 seem like the most obvious way for this to happen. If he tries to cross the rocks again, he could end up even further in the past, perhaps landing in the time he Blood of my blood is defined. Additionally, Roger could find himself in the early 1900s when he met Claire’s parentsHenry and Julia, who will be played by Jeremy Irvine and Hermione Corfield, respectively, in Outlander: Blood of My Blood. Of course, only time will tell, but it would be interesting to see Outlander put more effort into establishing these new characters.
