The cast of Outlander prequel Blood of My Blood<\/a> just got a lot bigger, with Ozark<\/a> and Payback<\/a> star Peter Mullan among a raft of new additions bringing life to the show\u2019s rival clans.<\/p>\n

The series will follow the lives of Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) and Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) \u2013 the parents of Sam Heughan\u2019s heartthrob Jamie \u2013 as they make a life for themselves in the Scottish highlands in the early 18th century.<\/p>\n

Mullan is joining the project as Red Jacob MacKenzie, Laird of Clan MacKenzie and father to Slater\u2019s Ellen, who is likely to be an intimidating, no-nonsense presence if the actor\u2019s earlier roles are anything to go by.<\/p>\n

Brian McCardie (Time<\/a>) has also been cast in Blood of My Blood in the role of Isaac, leader of Clan Grant, with Karen Pirie\u2019s Jhon Lumsden co-starring as his son, Malcolm, who is viewed as a potential husband for Ellen.<\/p>\n
