Outlander: Blood of my Blood season 2 has 'great Easter eggs' for fans four months after Outlander season 8 finished for good

For Outlander fans, season 8 of the main series concluded in May with an emotional finale, leaving many fans in search of more content. However, prequel series Outlander: Blood of my Blood is about to begin its second season on September 18 in the US and September 19 internationally. This upcoming season will follow the lives of Claire and Jamie's parents, Brian, Ellen, Julia, and Henry, as their lives are affected by the 1715 Jacobite Rising. The show will undoubtedly be filled with twists and turns as the Scottish Highlands are divided.

While the season is a standalone story, many Easter eggs are being teased for fans who have either read the original books or watched season 8 of the main series. Cast members Jamie Roy and Harriet Slater, who play Brian and Ellen, respectively, have expressed their excitement for both new and returning fans to discover these Easter eggs.

As Roy puts it, "I don't think you need to have seen Outlander for this," but the show's creators have included references to various beloved characters. Roy highlights the development of Murtagh, played by Duncan Lacroix in the first five seasons of Outlander, and notes that fans of the original series will appreciate the evolution of this character in this prequel.

With so many familiar faces and connections between the main series and the prequel, it's clear that Outlander: Blood of my Blood Season 2 will be a must-watch for any dedicated Outlander fan.
