Outlander prequel star, Harriet Slater, has revealed the cast were visited by Caitr\u00edona Balfe on the set of Blood of My Blood<\/a>, as filming for the series gets underway in Scotland.<\/p>\n

Filming for the new series kicked off in Glasgow<\/a> earlier this year and will chronicle the love stories of Jamie\u2019s parents, Ellen MacKenzie (Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) in 18th century Scotland, and Claire\u2019s parents, Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine) in World War I England.<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a> to promote her role in the new horror film Tarot, the actress shared that Balfe, who portrays Claire Fraser in Outlander, visited the set and said it was \u201creally lovely to meet her\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe came and said hello to everyone and was checking how we were all doing,\u201d she added. \u201cShe seemed excited by the whole thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

While not much else has been revealed about the series, Slater told RadioTimes.com<\/strong> that fans can be assured it will still have the same essence of Outlander, but admitted that it is completely different.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a long shoot. I think it\u2019s so nice that we have the solid foundation of Outlander, but it has an entirely new cast and feels very much like its own thing,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the same team as Outlander and we film in the same building, but aside from that, our paths don\u2019t really cross much at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
