Video: OUTLANDER: BLOOD OF MY BLOOD Episode 3 Sneak Peek Clip

STARZ has unveiled a sneak peek clip from episode three of “Outlander: Blood of my Blood," debuting on Friday, August 15. New episodes of the romance and action-filled prequel series will be available to stream weekly on Fridays only on the STARZ app, all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms.

As the oath-taking ceremony to determine who will be laird of Clan MacKenzie approaches, Ellen hatches a new plan to protect herself and her family. Julia is forced to make an impossible choice.

“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 Beauchamp -- 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.
