Set in the idyllic Scottish country-side, the Outlanderverse returns in 2026. While no one will replace Jamie and Claire Fraser’s place in our hearts, author Diana Gabaldon has beautifully written two new love stories to sink our teeth into: Ellen and Brian, and Henry and Julia. 

And, after putting our hearts on the line, praying that Blood of my Blood would cure our Outlander hang-over, season one certainly delivered. But the finale left viewers with more questions. 

While the fates of both couples are already known to readers, we’re having fun stewing over what comes next. The Weekly aren’t keeping these thoughts to ourselves, so continue reading to find out what we know. 

What is the plot of Outlander: Blood of my Blood season two? 

In the dramatic season one cliffhanger, Henry and Julia Beauchamp finally reunited at Craigh na Dun after being transported back in time and separated in 18th-century Scotland.

Eager to return to their own time, the pair finally touch the standing stones. But this wouldn’t be Outlander without some heartbreak, because the season two trailer soon shows a distraught Julia, standing alone with their baby. 

Stan, the streaming giant housing the drama in Australia, has teased Henry will struggle with his mental health as searches for a way back to her.

Meanwhile, Brian Fraser and Ellen MacKenzie’s forbidden romance edges closer to war, threatened by the outbreak of the 1715 Jacobite Rising. If this title sounds familiar, the Jacobite Rebellion served as the storyline backbone of Outlander.
