Outlander: Blood of My Blood Interview: Harriet Slater & Jamie Roy on Ellen and Brian's Meet-Cute

Video Description

Outlander might be coming to an end, but the universe inspired by Diana Gabaldon's books will live on through the prequel series focused on Claire (Catriona Balfe) and Jamie's (Sam Heughan) parents. Outlander: Blood of My Blood will expand on all that we already know about Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) and Ellen MacKenzie's (Harriet Slater) romance in Scotland during the 1700s. Blood of My Blood also introduces Henry (Jeremy Irvine) and Julia (Hermione Corfield) Beachamp to fans who know little about their backstory. After all, in Outlander, it is understood that the couple died in an accident during World War I, yet Blood of My Blood reveals that the pair might've survived and traveled through the stones years prior to their daughter doing so. Not only that, but Henry and Julia play a significant role in Brian and Ellen's fated connection, unintentionally impacting Claire and Jamie's future. At San Diego Comic-Con 2025, Collider's Perri Nemiroff sat down with cast members Slater, Roy, Corfield, Rory Alexander, Sam Retford, Seamus McLean Ross, and Blood of My Blood's executive producer Maril Davis to discuss the anticipated spin-off. During their conversation, they share more about how the idea for the show came to be, how the actors approached playing the parents to Outlander's main duo, what viewers can expect from the younger versions of Dougal and Colum Mackenzie, and what made the experience of filming this series just as fantastical as its premise. #outlander #interview #sdcc #starz #tv For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit https://collider.com FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL https://twitter.com/collider https://instagram.com/collider https://facebook.com/collider
