Julia and Henry are separated yet again in the first trailer for Outlander: Blood of My Blood Season 2, which premieres on Starz on September 18.
The upcoming season marks the second entry of the platform's time-travel historical romance drama, which serves as a prequel spin-off to Outlander. The title is based on Diana Gabaldon's eponymous book series, which wrapped its eight-season run in May 2026. While Outlander introduced Claire and Jamie's time-traveling love story, the prequel series charts the love stories of their respective parents across two time periods.
The debut season dropped a major bombshell about Claire's parents, revealing that they were fellow time travelers like their daughter, who accidentally ended up (and was separated) in the 18th century. After spending much of the season apart, the Blood of My Blood Season 1 finale saw the lovers reunited and gearing up to travel through the stones, with their newborn son William.
However, the Outlander: Blood of My Blood Season 2 trailer revealed that while Julia and William were left in the past, Henry was transported to their time alone. This shocking development raises many questions about Julia's failed time-travel attempt and teases a dire future for Claire's parents.
More on this in our story.
Julia will be left in the past in Outlander: Blood of My Blood Season 2
The first official trailer for Outlander: Blood of My Blood Season 2 teases that Claire's parents will be separated yet again. After spending much of the season apart, Julia, Henry and William were reunited and were headed to the stones. The couple was determined to return to their time and reunite with their daughter Claire. However, Blood of My Blood Season 1 concluded just when Julia and Henry were about to touch the stones, leaving their fates hanging in the balance.
While fans were certain that Claire's parents would be unable to return to their time, given how they were presumed dead in the parent series, the Outlander: Blood of My Blood Season 2 trailer teased that only Henry would return to his time (and admitted to a psychiatric institution for his deteriorating mental health), with Julia and William stuck in the past.
This is strange considering Julia is a time traveler who managed to travel to the past in the first season. Season 2 is set to explore the limits of time travel in the Outlander universe through Julia and Henry's separation.
Why were Julia and William unable to time travel in Outlander: Blood of My Blood Season 2? Speculations explored
Soon after Starz dropped the Outlander: Blood of My Blood Season 2 trailer, curious fans flocked to Reddit to discuss Julia and William's fates in the upcoming entry.
Many fans believe the Beauchamps (including William) carry the time-traveling gene, which is why Julia was only able to time travel in the first season, as she was pregnant with Henry's child. William gave her the 'power' to time travel. However, after William's birth, Julia would be unable to time travel in Outlander: Blood of My Blood Season 2. This theory holds ground as Claire's parents would likely settle in the past (in the upcoming seasons) because of Julia's inability to time travel, leaving Claire with Uncle Lamb.
Additionally, many fans believe that Henry was able to time travel because of the gemstone. As established in Outlander and Gabaldon's books, time travelers need a gemstone to time travel, which hints at why Julia and William were unable to return to their time.
While these are theories and speculations for now, it remains to be seen what Outlander: Blood of My Blood Season 2 holds in store for Julia and Henry's future. The prequel series will certainly expand on the limits of time travel and deepen its lore, as established in the parent series.
