Variety reported exclusively on 25 February 2022 that an Outlander prequel series is in development at Starz. Exact plot details are so far kept under wraps and open for speculation.
Fans of the show have been hoping for a spin-off centered around popular character Lord John Grey (played by Australian actor David Berry). When the audience meets (John) William Grey for the first time during the Jacobite Rising of 1745 (Season 2), he is only 15 years old and played by young English actor Oscar Kennedy. This seems to rule out his story for a prequel series although there is plenty of source material in the form of Diana Gabaldon’s LJG novellas and short stories.
In 2013, Gabaldon also published the novella Virgins with a young Jamie Fraser and best friend Ian Murray (aged 19 and 20 respectively) serving as mercenaries in 1740’s France. Given the popularity of both characters, this certainly seems like an option, even though actors Sam Heughan and Steven Cree (both born in 1980) might not be able to reprise their roles for this potential prequel.
Still a work in progress is a novel about Jamie Fraser’s parents, Ellen MacKenzie and Brian Fraser. Their wild love story would be set in early 18th century Scotland and could touch on the First Jacobite Rising of 1715. This sounds like the most plausible choice as it would feature a lot of the elements that made Outlander such a hit in the first place.
After the recent #BonnieComeback, the Daily Express also talked exclusively with Andrew Gower about the possibility of a prequel series focusing on a young Bonnie Prince Charlie.
Would I be interested in a Bonnie Prince Charlie prequel? I mean, I went back for season six, so I would work with those guys. I would work with that team at the drop of a hat. They’re an amazing team.
The interesting thing about Bonnie Prince Charlie – maybe I’m getting too old to play him – who knows? To play him at the beginning… but ultimately his life story is fascinating.
If they don’t do a story about him then I’m pretty sure there will be another film or something soon. Because I had such fun playing him and so many different ways I could have played him and so many different parts of his life you can look at.

The interview concludes with our favourite bit of information:
Whether a Bonnie Prince Charlie prequel series is also on the cards remains to be seen, but Gower is now busy with a whole host of other projects.

We already know that one of his new projects is playing Detective Peter Andrews in Season 4 of Netflix hit series You with more acting jobs to be announced soon.
Andrew is also currently preparing the launch of his first EP The Jacaranda with his band Gustaffson on 19 August 2022.
ETA (4 August 2022):
Variety confirmed today that the rumoured prequel Outlander: Blood of my Blood would indeed – as speculated above – focus on the love story of Ellen MacKenzie and Brian Fraser, Jamie Fraser’s parents.

According to his management at Independent Talent Group, Andrew Gower is currently filming a new TV series called The Winter King based on the Warlord Chronicles by best-selling author Bernard Cornwell (The Last Kingdom).
Andrew will play the character of Sansum, who is loosely based on the Cornish saint Samson of Dol, a Catholic priest and later a Bishop. His disciple Derfel Cadarn, an elderly monk, recalls the time of when he met the many famous heroes of Arthurian legend and writes them down on the request of young Queen Igraine. Most of the narrative is recounted in a series of flashbacks to Derfel’s life as a young man, with regular intermissions in the present-day monastery.
Sansum is described as unsympathetic and intriguing. He can’t read and believes Derfel is writing a Christian gospel. We expect that the TV series will take some liberties from the books (as is the case with The Last Kingdom) but we’d tentatively call Sansum a villain on the show.
Variety confirmed production of the series on 4 April 2022 saying the 10-part series will shoot later this year in Wales and the West Country. The book series follows Arthur Pendragon as he evolves from outcast son to legendary warrior and leader King Arthur.
On 4 May 2022, Bristol World reported that filming would also take place at a temporary film set near Bristol including a fortified encampment serving as Caer Cadarn – a fortress which plays a key part in Cornwall’s The Winter King.
The Warlord Chronicles are described as “historical fiction” rather than fantasy by FanSided (despite being based on a myth) and as Cornwell’s best work. The author himself called the book series, which includes novels The Winter King, Enemy of God and Excalibur, “his favourite” of all the books he has written.
An adaptation of the Warlord Chronicles was previously set up at US cabler Epix, but has now moved to Bad Wolf / Sony Pictures / Paramount Plus. Kate Brooke (A Discovery Of Witches, Medici) and Ed Whitmore (Manhunt) will be showrunners with Otto Bathurst (His Dark Materials, Peaky Blinders) as lead director.
In an exclusive interview with the Daily Express, Andrew Gower confirmed that he will be a part of the upcoming 4th season of the Netflix series You.
You is an American psychological thriller television series based on a book series by Caroline Kepnes, which centres on Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley), a bookstore manager and serial killer who falls in love and develops an extreme obsession.
The series was first broadcast on Lifetime but later moved to Netflix. Filming on the new season officially began on 21 March 2022 in London and is set to finish in July 2022.
The extent of Andrew Gower‘s involvement in the show is yet unknown but we’ll share any news and updates as soon as we’ll get them.
ETA (30 July 2022):
According to Andrew’s management at Independent Talent Group, he will play the character of Detective Peter Andrews. Could this be a new antagonist for the main character, serial killer Joe Goldberg?
The Daily Express released an exclusive interview with Andrew Gower in which they talked about his return to hit series Outlander and his iconic role as Bonnie Prince Charlie as well as the upcoming release of his first EP The Jacaranda with his band Gustaffson.
It was so nice to be able to bookend that whole journey and because myself and Sam Heughan, a few of the cast, had always spoken about Bonnie Prince Charlie’s journey, how he dressed up as Betty Burke and left Scotland. It was really special to be back. Odd going back to a character after so long.
The amazing thing about being an actor is the older we get, we change and are influenced by different things. So, I think definitely Bonnie Prince Charlie definitely aged a little bit in the Scottish countryside.

I’ve always written music since I was 16. I was in bands in Liverpool. I did the Cavern many a time.
But I had started songwriting again during lockdown and [Elbow‘s] Craig [Potter] caught wind of these tracks after having just filmed together on Running Naked and basically he asked me whether I wanted to make my EP with him. I fell to my knees in my kitchen.
