As a dedicated fan with over a decade of immersion in the Outlander universe, I can confidently say that the upcoming prequel, Outlander: Blood of My Blood, is a tantalizing prospect that has me both excited and apprehensive. While I eagerly anticipate the exploration of Brian Fraser and Ellen MacKenzie’s story, I find myself in a precarious position – torn between wanting to delve deeper into this captivating world through the TV series, and wishing to preserve the purity of Diana Gabaldon’s yet-to-be-named novel.
As the final episodes of “Outlander” unfold, the vast expanse of the universe carries on. Excited fans eagerly await “Outlander: Blood of My Blood”, a precursor tale that delves into the lives of Claire and Jamie’s parents.
Readers familiar with Diana Gabaldon’s work may be aware that she is currently writing a novel centered around characters Brian Fraser and Ellen MacKenzie. One might wonder if the upcoming TV series could potentially contain spoilers from the book, leading some fans to consider waiting for the book’s release before watching the show.
Diana Gabaldon’s focus is on Outlander Book 10
As a dedicated fan of Diana Gabaldon’s work, I must share some exciting news (or possibly a bit of disappointment, depending on your perspective) regarding her upcoming projects. While we eagerly anticipate Book 10 of the main Outlander series, it’s essential to understand that she isn’t currently working on the prequel story. Instead, she’s deeply immersed in the characters and plotlines for Outlander Book 10, which is set to be the final installment in the primary series. However, as always with an author like Gabaldon, things can change, so here’s hoping that we might yet return to the prequel storyline!
She hasn’t completed or titled the prequel novel just yet, but she’s been jotting down ideas and fragments when they occur to her, and she has a general concept for the story.
Outlander: Blood of My Blood shouldn’t spoil a lot for book readers
In the narrative, there’s a particular aspect that won’t ruin anything for those who have read the books. It concerns Claire’s parents. However, author Gabaldon has explicitly stated that she will not delve into Claire’s parental history, as it holds little appeal to her. She does not support theories suggesting that Claire’s parents traveled through the stones. Instead, their demise was in a car accident, which remains the truth according to the storyline.
As a longtime fan of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series, I find myself intrigued by the development of Brian and Ellen’s storyline for the upcoming TV adaptation. While it’s important to preserve the essence of the novels, there is always a risk in revealing too much and spoiling some key aspects for new viewers. However, considering Matt B. Roberts’ extensive experience as a writer and his familiarity with the source material, I am confident that he will only share what is necessary for the TV series.
As a gamer, I’ve noticed some folks claiming this is fan-made content. Given what we know about fanfiction and how Gabaldon feels about it, it’s clear that Roberts and his team aren’t part of that. Instead, this series is inspired by the original novels, much like the main one has been.
