News – potential Outlander spinoffs

Outlander spinoffs

Outlander and the prequel Blood of my Blood have been  huge success over the last 10 years , but is there any potential for expanding the Outlander universe  with other spinoff shows ? There are lots of options for spinoffs but here’s what I think 

🔮 Potential Outlander Spinoffs

1. Lord John Grey Series

  • Why it works:
    • Gabaldon has already written several Lord John novels and novellas.
    • John Grey is a fan-favourite with rich story potential: espionage, court intrigue, military campaigns, his complex relationships with Jamie and his own family.
    • Already a fully fleshed-out character — Starz would have ready-made source material.
  • Tone: Political thriller meets period drama.

2. The Adventures of Fergus & Marsali

  • Why it works:
    • Their story as settlers, parents, and survivors could be expanded into a frontier family drama.
    • They embody the “next generation” of Fraser’s Ridge.
    • There’s scope for humour and grit (Marsali is sharp-tongued, Fergus has a roguish past).
  • Tone: A frontier Outlander with a dash of romance and resilience.

3. Young Dougal & Colum MacKenzie

  • Why it works:
    • Clan MacKenzie politics and power struggles are fascinating.
    • A prequel covering their youth, rivalry, and leadership battles would deepen the world’s Highland tapestry.
    • Strong potential for darker, Game of Thrones-style intrigue in the Highlands.
  • Tone: Dark clan drama, political intrigue.

4. The Jacobite Rising Anthology

  • Why it works:
    • Not tied to a single character, but instead shows different perspectives of the 1745 Rising and aftermath.
    • Could weave in known faces (Dougal, Murtagh, Highland clansmen) while also introducing new ones.
    • A broader historical lens would attract both Outlander fans and general history buffs.
  • Tone: War and tragedy epic, anthology format.

5. The Beauchamp Family (Claire’s Line)

  • Why it works:
    • Blood of My Blood is already introducing Claire’s parents.
    • Expanding further into their world (spanning World War I & II, archaeology, and time travel hints) could connect the Fraser/Beauchamp strands in new ways.
  • Tone: Historical romance with early sci-fi elements.

6. Uncle Lamb’s Expeditions

  • Why it works:
    • Dr. Quentin Lambert Beauchamp (Uncle Lamb) was an archaeologist, eccentric, and Claire’s guardian.
    • His travels and discoveries could tie into the mythology of the standing stones and time travel.
    • A natural gateway into broader world-building beyond Scotland.
  • Tone: Adventure/archaeology drama (an Indiana Jones-meets-Outlander vibe).

7. The Lovat Line

  • Why it works:
    • Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat (“The Old Fox”), was a schemer with immense historical weight.
    • A spinoff on the Fraser clan politics could expand on loyalties, betrayals, and generational feuds.
  • Tone: Dark historical drama about family legacy and power.

8. The Heirs of Fraser’s Ridge

  • Why it works:
    • A “next generation” continuation, possibly set after the original series’ main arc.
    • Could focus on Brianna & Roger’s children (Jemmy and Mandy) and their own adventures across centuries.
    • Keeps the Fraser legacy alive for future seasons while introducing younger protagonists.
  • Tone: Multigenerational saga with time travel twists.

👉 My top three most viable (from a production and audience standpoint):

  1. Lord John Grey (already has novels, strong fan demand).
  2. Uncle Lamb’s Expeditions (ties into the sci-fi/time travel mythology).
  3. Young Dougal & Colum (clan intrigue and Highland history).
