Description:
After three episodes of Outlander: Blood of My Blood, fan theories are flooding in. But is yours right? According to the cast, the truth might be
out there.
FULL STORY ======================================================================
Telling the story of Outlander s predecessors, Outlander: Blood of My Blood already looks like another smash-hit for Starz s time-travelling franchise. Were three episodes into the new binge-worthy TV show , which follows Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claires (Caitriona Balfe) parents as they travel back to 18th century Scotland and become connected to each other in the process. Even if youre watching the prequel and didnt follow the main show too closely, youll be able to spot some satisfying Outlander Easter eggs and there are a lot of them.
Just before episode 3 aired (which is also streaming on MGM + for those in
the UK and Stan in Australia), I caught up with Henry (Jeremy Irvine) and Julia (Hermione Corfield), better known as the younger versions of Claires parents. Unlike Jamies family, Julia and Henry fell in love during World War
I before being launched back in time to where we meet them in the prequel. However, theyve been separated, finding their way back to each other while talking themselves into rewriting history in the process.
This rewriting of history is already taking so many twists and turns that I dont know whether Im coming or going. Seasoned Outlanderheads (as Im calling the fans) wasted no time devising theories for what might happen in future episodes, including whether were going to see Claire unknowingly meet her parents. Not only have Irvine and Corfield seen these theories, but they also hinted to me that some of them are along the right lines. Outlander: Blood of My Blood fan theories might be closer to the truth than we think
I have, Corfield replies when I ask her if shes seen any fan theories. I've seen a few comments on Instagram where I've been, like hminteresting. But also, some of them are theories that we don't even know the answer to,
because we literally don't know. We get given our scripts while we're filming the block before.
Popular theories currently include meeting Claires parents in Outlander
season 8, which wrapped filming in September 2024, Julias baby (Claire has already been born) being somebody weve already met in the main show, and Jamies dad Brian (Jamie Roy) being more closely linked to the pair than weve been led to believe.
Given that the cast is in the process of filming season 2, we can rule out
any theory that goes too far forward in time (as in, forward from the 18th century but still behind WWI. Keep up!). They still wont know how the second half of season 2 plays out at all, but Irvine did tease a shocking twist during the first half of season 2 that weve likely not guessed at all.
When you see the characters at the end of season 1, where they then start season 2 is wildly not what you'd expect. I wasn't expecting it at all. I was very confused when I went in for my first costume fitting and saw the costumes, asking what on earth is that going to be for?
Its highs and lows and everything in between. A total rollercoaster, Corfield adds about whats definitely to come.
