Roberts, showrunner and executive producer of the Outlander prequel series.
"Just as audiences fell in love with Jamie and Claire, we hope viewers will be enamored by these new couples when they meet them this summer," Roberts continued. "The world of Outlander has captivated audiences with its sweeping storytelling and unforgettable characters," said Starz programming chief Kathryn Busby. "With Blood of My Blood, we’ve expanded the universe in a way that honors the original, while charting bold new territory. Fans—longtime and new—will be drawn to the powerful love stories at the heart of this next chapter, and we’re proud to continue building on the franchise’s legacy with Matt and our longtime partners at Sony who have worked tirelessly to make Outlander the global phenomenon it has become.”
