Starz has released the trailer for “Outlander: Blood of My Blood” Season 2. 

Claire and Jamie’s parents are once again separated in the trailer for Season 2 of the “Outlander” prequel, as the Jacobite Uprising splits the Scottish Highlands in two. As the two couples fight to find their way back to each other, they must also declare their loyalty to one side of the rebellion.

Per the logline for the sophomore season, “Brian and his cousin Murtagh must return to Castle Leathers and pledge to fight beside his father, the scheming Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat. Ellen reluctantly returns to Castle Leoch to find her brothers, Colum and Dougal, feuding over how to respond to the call to arms. She cleverly devises a plan to protect Clan MacKenzie from the Crown regardless of the outcome of the uprising. Meanwhile Henry and Julia Beauchamp, finally reunited after their unexpected journey back in time left them lost and separated, are ready to return back to their time and their daughter, Claire. When their plan goes horribly awry, the couple is parted once again. Separated from his love and hope, Henry must grapple with his mental health, as he fights to find his way back to Julia, who is forced to return to Castle Leathers and contend with her sinister husband, Lord Lovat.”
