The excitement for Outlander: Blood of my Blood is reaching a fever pitch this week. The cast gathered on an appropriately Scottish blue carpet in Los Angeles on Tuesday for the season one premiere, joined by a few familiar faces, including Jamie Fraser himself, Sam Heughan.

Outlander: Blood of My Blood airs on Starz on August 8 and ahead of its release, Jamie Fraser star Sam Heughan attended the sparkling premiere. The historical drama serves as a prequel to the original Outlander series, based on the book series of the same name by Diana Gabaldon. The original show's bosses have teased some potential crossovers.

Outlander star Sam Heughan, who plays Jamie Fraser in the STARZ series, opened up about a line he "had a real problem with" during the show's Comic-Con panel.
