A rescue mission at a craggy seaside castle was about to go very wrong, and some of our favorite kilted heroes were getting heated about how to salvage it. A dirk. A protest. A scuffle. It wasn’t clear if everyone would make it out alive. That’s a quick peek at one of the scenes we observed on an October visit to the set of Outlander: Blood of My Blood in Scotland, where shooting was at the midway point of the second season.
“There are a lot of ups and a lot of downs. There are going to be some hard episodes to watch,” previews Matthew B. Roberts, the show’s executive producer. Roberts served in the same role on Outlander, based on Diana Gabaldon‘s bestselling novels, and with the author’s blessing brought this original prequel to life. Its popularity and stellar reviews have proven that both Claire’s and Jamie’s ancestors can bring us the same magic, romance, and adventure as one of TV’s greatest couples of all time.
