If you’re still desperately clutching your tartan and muttering “why, oh why?” after that jaw-dropping Outlander: Blood of My Blood season one finale, brace yourself. The wait for new episodes isn’t just long… it’s an epic, time-bending ordeal fit for a Fraser.
No New Blood of My Blood Tonight—Or Anytime Soon
First, let’s rip off the bandage: there will be no new Outlander: Blood of My Blood tonight—Oct. 17 is officially a quiet, stone-cold evening. And before you check your calendar for those infamous STARZ midseason breaks (you know the ones), put your conspiracy theories away. This is no mere blip in the schedule. The previous episode you gasped through? That was the season one finale. Yes, that’s it. For now.
Meanwhile, the last moments left us dangling (or should we say, teetering at the edge of a magical rock face) with far more questions than answers. A proper cliffhanger—a specialty for the Outlander franchise.
Unanswered Questions: The Cliffhanger That Haunts
Not to bring back the sting, but let’s revisit that fresh wound: Henry, in a clear display of desperation or perhaps misplaced courage, pushed Julia and William toward the stones. Problem is, while momentum is great, nobody actually knows if they can cross. Our hasty trio didn’t realize they might need gems to slip through. And there’s no guarantee William is even a traveler. So, if you were expecting a quick resolution, I hope your patience has some Scottish stubbornness baked in.
But wait, there’s more (complication, not content):
- Brian and Ellen can’t simply hide out while the world burns. The fiery crosses have lit up the night—everyone’s being called to fight for the Jacobites. No rest for the passionate or the weary. Brian, for his part, must rush back to his father, bringing news of the MacKenzies’ dilemmas. A full reunion? We can only imagine—but not for the next two years, at least.
- Even with such main couple drama, fans are assured there’s plenty more in store. There’s just one small challenge: waiting.
The Painful Reality: Season 2 Isn’t Coming Until 2027
Let’s talk about the timeline—bring a calendar and maybe a handkerchief for the tears. If you were clinging to hope for a surprise episode in 2025, you might want to sit down. None are coming. And for those who think 2026 could be the year, sorry again: still no new Outlander prequel episodes expected then, either. According to claireandjamie.com, eyes are already fixed on 2027 as the shining light (or fog-shrouded promise) for all-things Blood of My Blood season 2.
If you’re feeling a bit picked on, consider this: Outlander season 8 is scheduled to arrive in early 2026. Releasing both shows from the same sprawling franchise within a single year? Let’s just say STARZ loves its subscribers—and really loves spreading out those subscription months.
Production, Post-Production, and Hope (But a Long Wait)
Here’s where things get practical (and a tad technical): Blood of My Blood season 2 is, thankfully, in production right now. How long will that take? Several months is a safe bet. After the cameras finally pack up, post-production swoops in—and in the world of period dramas, this phase often lasts as long, or even longer, than what came before. Polish those kilts and perfect that brogue: bringing historical adventure to life is a mammoth undertaking.
The kicker? Nobody knows for sure which time periods we’ll see when the show finally hits our screens again. The stories are there, the productions are grinding on, but mysteries reign—both onscreen and off.
In summary: Prepare for patience, hone your theories, and maybe pass the time learning Gaelic—season 2 of Outlander: Blood of My Blood is currently targeting early 2027. The road might be long (and cliffhangers sharp), but at least there’s more to come—eventually.
