“ Outlander: Blood of my Blood” comes to Starz on Aug. 8, along with a brand new opening title sequence. Showrunner and executive producer Matthew B. Roberts promises there’s a new energy to the “Outlander” prequel.

Technically, Blood of My Blood isn't rewriting Claire's history from Starz's Outlander or Diana Gabaldon's books. Fans may have believed that Claire's parents died in a car crash based on her narration,

Slater noted that the scene's set-up reminded her of an iconic scene in Baz Luhrmann's film adaptation of Shakespeare's play, Romeo + Juliet. " The very first time in the barn, it reminded us all a bit of the scene in Romeo + Juliet with the fish tank. That was my first thought when I read it. It's such a beautiful scene."

EXCLUSIVE: Sony Pictures Television has sold Outlander: Blood of My Blood across major markets across EMEA, LATAM, and APAC.
