‘Outlander: Blood of My Blood’ Season 2 Episode 3 Release Date, Time and Where to Watch ‘Rabbits Don’t Swim’

The Fraser family saga continues to unfold, and fans of ‘Outlander: Blood of My Blood‘ are eagerly anticipating the next chapter. Season 2 has established its weekly rhythm, delving deeper into the intertwined love stories that ultimately brought Jamie Fraser and Claire Beauchamp to life.

With episode two, ‘The Veil of Time,’ now in the rearview mirror, all eyes are on episode three, intriguingly titled ‘Rabbits Don’t Swim.’ This episode is set to premiere on October 2, maintaining the season’s consistent Friday release schedule.

Episode 3, titled “Rabbits Don’t Swim,” is slated for release on October 2, keeping in line with the weekly cadence established since the season’s premiere.

New episodes of ‘Blood of My Blood’ are available on the Starz app and Starz streaming platforms every Friday at 12 a.m. ET. Additionally, episodes can be streamed on the Starz app and website starting at that midnight hour.

For those who prefer traditional cable, new episodes also air at 8 p.m. ET on the linear Starz channel, providing two options for viewers to catch the latest episode.

International viewers can watch the series on MGM Plus, which has been the international home for the prequel since its debut. Season one of ‘Blood of My Blood’ is still available for those who wish to catch up on the earlier story before diving into the new episodes.

In the United States, the series airs on Starz and streams through the Starz app and various add-on subscriptions. This structure has remained consistent since the show’s initial launch.

Produced by Left Bank Pictures, Story Mining and Supply Co, Tall Ship Productions, No Fooling Productions, and Sony Pictures Television, the series maintains the same high production values fans expect from the flagship ‘Outlander’ series.

Subscribers looking to binge before the current season can still find season one streaming on Starz, making it easy for newcomers to start from the beginning rather than jumping in mid-story.

The complete list of episode titles provides fans with a roadmap for the upcoming fall storyline. Following the September 18 premiere and the September 25 second episode, the schedule continues with October 2 for “Rabbits Don’t Swim,” October 9 for “A Portion of My Soul,” October 16 for “Forgive Me, Father,” October 23 for “Small Mercies,” October 30 for “Heart of the Highlands,” November 6 for “The Dance,” November 20 for “Another Man’s Shadow,” and November 27 for the finale “Twelfth Night.”

This lineup confirms that Season 2 will consist of 10 episodes, mirroring the structure of the first season. Fans have noted a gap in the schedule on November 13, which appears to be a planned break before the series resumes later that month.

Season two continues the parallel love stories of Jamie and Claire Fraser’s parents, Brian Fraser and Ellen MacKenzie, as they navigate their forbidden love in the Highlands of 18th century Scotland, while the political schemes of Ellen’s brothers loom over them. Meanwhile, in post-World War I Europe, Julia Moriston and Henry Beauchamp are entangled with the magical standing stones that ultimately connect their fates to their children’s story in ‘Outlander.’

While Starz has not released a detailed breakdown of ‘Rabbits Don’t Swim,’ the ongoing narrative threads suggest that this episode will further propel both timelines toward significant turning points. With clan politics surrounding Ellen and the wartime separation still haunting Julia and Henry, episode three is set to heighten the stakes for both couples.

Jamie Roy and Harriet Slater star as Brian Fraser and Ellen MacKenzie in the Highland timeline, while Hermione Corfield and Jeremy Irvine lead the World War I storyline as Julia and Henry. Promotional imagery tied to this cast has been captured by Robert Wilson for Starz Entertainment.

Supporting characters from the MacKenzie clan continue to influence the Highland storyline, including the ongoing rivalry that has characterized the family’s power struggles since season one. Fans of the original ‘Outlander’ series will recognize the deep connections these characters have to the Fraser lineage that later shapes Jamie’s narrative.

The prequel explores how these two couples, separated by centuries, unknowingly pave the way for the time-traveling romance that made ‘Outlander’ a global phenomenon. Each episode adds another piece to the puzzle of how Jamie and Claire’s parents found each other against overwhelming odds.

With the schedule confirmed through late November, fans can now follow a clear countdown as ‘Rabbits Don’t Swim’ and subsequent episodes continue to unravel both love stories. Which storyline has you more invested this season, Ellen and Brian’s Highland struggle or Julia and Henry’s race against time?
