Outlander: Blood of My Blood season two announced ahead of launch
Outlander fans were treated to an unexpected announcement regarding the prequel Outlander: Blood of My Blood.
Outlander fans are absolutely over the moon after the network Starz dropped the unexpected announcement.
The broadcaster is going all in the Outlander universe, renewing Outlander: Blood Of My Blood for a second season, even before the first season has aired a single episode.
In a statement, Blood of My Blood's showrunner and executive producer Matthew B. Roberts said: "The passion and talent our cast and crew have poured into Outlander: Blood of my Blood has been extraordinary and we're thrilled to continue these epic love stories in season two."
"Just as audiences fell in love with Jamie and Claire, we hope viewers will be enamoured by these new couples when they meet them this summer," he continued.
And much to the excitement of fans the production for season two of Outlander: Blood Of My Blood, is already in production. Kicking off earlier this week in the Scottish Highlands, in the exact same location Outlander was filmed over the last decade.
The prequel follows the romance between Ellen MacKenzie and Brain Fraser, parents of Sam Heughan's beloved character Jamie Fraser. As well as exploring the connection between Julia Moriston and Henry Beauchamp, the parents to Caitríona Balfe's character Claire Fraser.
The story is set in the battlefields of World War I and the rugged Highlands of 18th century Scotland. The two couples face challenges that try to tear them apart, intersecting them in surprising and unforeseen ways.
The first season of Outlander: Blood of My Blood will premiere on August 8, with new episodes available to stream weekly on Fridays via Starz on Amazon Prime Video.
The news of a second season came as a surprise to Outlander fans, as Outlander: Blood of My Blood was expected to be a limited series, with only ten episodes.
Amid the news of season two, the official Outlander Instagram shared a series of unexpected snaps of the cast, alongside the caption: "We've only just begun: #BloodOfMyBlood has started production on Season 2!"
The first picture featured an exciting image of the four main characters, who will be played by Jeremy Irvine, Harriet Slater, Hermione Corfield and Jamie Roy as they smiled at the camera in a group selfie.
Fans were quick to share their excitement in the comments, with one fan writing: "What amazing news! I'm already counting down to BOMB's premiere - and Season 2 is already underway?! So exciting!"
As another jokingly stated: "Season 1 isn't even out yet but season 2 is already starting. Oh yeah, I've got a good feeling about the trauma to come."
While a third voice their congratulations, saying: "OMG!!! I'm not even surprised because we know this show is going to be that GOOD. Congrats to everyone," alongside fire and clapping emojis.
However, a fan was quick to question, when season eight of Outlander was coming out, writing: "Love thaaaat but we also need season 8 date???"
As of right now it is unclear when Outlander will be airing its eighth and final season.

Jamie Laing releases track to turn mornings into triumphs
The podcast host, ultramarathon runner, and reality TV star has turned motivational speaker for a spoken word anthem called Morning People. The track is a bold, synth-driven battle cry for better mornings, smarter sleep, and screen-savvy starts. From 'check in with your breath' to 'use your feet and 'find your rhythm' Jamie delivers actionable advice designed to help a sleep-deprived nation build better habits. In a bid to help the nation 'carpe the heck outta that diem,' the song comes with an animated lyric video full of dopamine-bright visuals, following an animated Jamie leaping into action. (Image: Joe Pepler/PinPep) The star, whose track is available on Spotify, has teamed up with Samsung Health to encourage the nation to become more morning people, with AI-powered sleep tracking and personalised energy scores available on its Galaxy Watch & Ring series. Jamie said: 'If you can beat the morning, you can win the day. 'That's why I love what Samsung Health is doing – helping people understand the body and the mind, and tech can empower you to live your best day.' The track follows research which found 30 per cent of Brits hit snooze on a weekday morning two or more times. Meanwhile, 24 per cent feel groggy most mornings when they wake up. Four in 10 (42 per cent) believe tiredness is holding them back from becoming their best self, while 51 per cent say they'd be more inclined to try new things if they had a restful night's sleep. A third have blamed snapping at someone on lack of sleep, and 23 per cent believe not getting enough shut eye has made them crave junk food. Whereas 17 per cent have cancelled a workout due to tiredness, and 21 per cent have made a mistake at work after a bad night's sleep. In fact, 41 per cent have even nodded off in the workplace because they were so exhausted. The research found the top sleep disruptors include temperature (35 per cent), overthinking conversations (32 per cent), and discomfort (28 per cent). Other common culprits include work stress (24 per cent), worrying about loved ones (22 per cent), and scrolling on social media (14 per cent). Annika Bizon from Samsung, which has announced new health features to help consumers set up habits, improve sleep, heart health, fitness and nutrition as part of the upcoming One UI 8 Watch, said: 'Sleep is the foundation to our approach to health, as it influences physical and mental wellbeing, yet our research reveals that many of us aren't getting enough. 'That's why we are taking action, providing innovative tools to help people understand and improve their sleep. 'By offering insights, coaching, and inspiration like the Morning People track, we are empowering better starts and helping the nation seize the day.'
