An Outlander prequel is officially in the works.<\/p>\n

Rumours have long circulated the screen adaptation of Diana Gabaldon\u2019s books and now, not only has Starz confirmed the news, it has also provided an ominous title to go with it. Outlander: Blood of My Blood will tell the story of Jamie Fraser\u2019s parents. Outlander writer and producer Matthew B Roberts has been announced as the prequel\u2019s showrunner.<\/p>\n

Gabaldon first addressed a prequel book on Jamie\u2019s parents, Brian and Ellen, in 2020, when she told a fan it was in the works. In early 2022, she shared what she thought might the book\u2019s first line on Facebook,<\/a> before confirming that there would also be a book 10 in the Outlander<\/a> series, on top of the prequel.<\/p>\n

Well, there’s definitely a Book 10. And a prequel about Jamie’s parents. Maybe some other stuff. But you know, sufficient unto the day. I don’t plan things out ahead of writing; that never works for me. https:\/\/t.co\/oDmdYAXYVb<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Diana Gabaldon (@Writer_DG) April 10, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>
