UPDATE: The highly anticipated Episode 5 of Starz’s prequel series Outlander: Blood of My Blood is set to premiere tonight, August 29, at 8:00 PM ET/PT. Fans are on the edge of their seats as the drama escalates at the annual Beltane festival near the iconic Craigh na dun stones.
In this episode titled “Needfire,” viewers will witness critical developments as Ellen MacKenzie, played by Harriet Slater, prepares for the festival with her prospective fiancé, Malcolm Grant (Jhon Lumsden). However, the stakes are higher than anyone knows—Ellen and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) are secretly plotting a significant meeting at the event. Meanwhile, tensions rise as Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine) continues his desperate search for his missing wife, Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield).
