‘Outlander: Blood of My Blood’ Season 2 Episode 4 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch, and Preview

The next installment of ‘Blood of My Blood’ is titled “A Portion of My Soul” and is scheduled for Friday, October 9. It follows a third episode that left Ellen racing toward the front to save her brother from a dangerous plan. Here is what viewers need to know about the schedule, the timing, and the streaming options.

‘Blood of My Blood’ follows two parallel love stories, one involving Jamie Fraser’s parents in the early 18th century Scottish Highlands and the other involving Claire Beauchamp’s parents in World War I England. The current season places the clans in the middle of the 1715 Jacobite Rising. The details below cover when the fourth episode arrives and what the story has set up so far.

Release Date for the Next Chapter

Starz has set “A Portion of My Soul” for October 9, making it the fourth episode in a ten episode run. The season has followed a steady weekly pattern since it began.

The premiere, “Remembrance Day,” debuted on September 18, followed by “The Veil of Time” on September 25 and “Rabbits Don’t Swim” on October 2. That cadence of one new episode each Friday continues through the rest of the season.

After the upcoming installment, “Forgive Me, Father” is listed for October 16 and “Small Mercies” for October 23. Viewers can plan around those dates without expecting a break in the near term.

The finale is scheduled for November 20. That gives the second season a defined endpoint, with several chapters still to come after the fourth episode.

Release Time on Starz and Linear TV

New episodes of ‘Blood of My Blood’ arrive on the Starz app and Starz streaming platforms at 12 a.m. ET on Fridays. Anyone using the app can watch earlier than the linear broadcast.

The same episodes air on the linear Starz channel at 8 p.m. ET. Viewers in other time zones will need to adjust from Eastern Time when planning their viewing.

This arrangement is not new for the franchise. When Starz announced the first season premiere, it described weekly streaming at midnight on the app before a linear debut at 8/7c. Anyone who followed the earlier run will find the routine familiar.

Where to Watch the Prequel

In the United States, ‘Blood of My Blood’ streams on Starz and through the Starz app. Both the app and the website carry each new episode from midnight on release day.

Starz is also available as a premium add-on on supported platforms, including Prime Video. That offers another route for viewers who prefer to manage their subscriptions through a service they already use.

Newcomers can also catch up. Starz currently lists both seasons on its streaming service, and each season runs ten episodes. Starting from the beginning is possible without waiting for a rerun.

Availability outside the United States has varied. During the first season, the show also streamed on MGM+ in the UK and Stan in Australia. Readers in other regions should confirm the current listings in their own country.

Preview of What Comes Next

Detailed plot information for the fourth installment has been scarce, with most coverage centering on the title and the schedule. The third episode does offer a clear sense of where the story is heading.

That episode closed with Ellen riding to the front on horseback, determined to save her brother from Lord Lovat’s deadly strategy. Brian and Dougal disagreed with the new approach but had little choice other than to follow it.

Back at Castle Leoch, James MacKinney moved to claim the castle while Dougal and the others were away at war. At Castle Leathers, Julia faced a new maid named Seema, who made it clear she knew Henry.

Speaking with SYFY WIRE, Harriet Slater said war puts people in “completely new situations,” and that Brian becomes a leader while Ellen does too. Henry’s separate storyline began the season in a 1924 asylum, where electroshock therapy puts his memories of Julia and their son at risk. With Ellen racing toward the front while Julia contends with Seema at Castle Leathers, which storyline do you expect “A Portion of My Soul” to push furthest, and does Ellen reach Dougal in time?
