STAN HOSTS EXCLUSIVE FAN SCREENING OF SONY PICTURES TELEVISION’S ​
​OUTLANDER: BLOOD OF MY BLOOD ​
​AHEAD OF ITS PREMIERE THIS SATURDAY

Bagpipes, immersive experiences, and a surprise appearance by Outlander star David Berry created an unforgettable evening for fans.

August 7, 2025 - To celebrate the launch of the highly anticipated prequel, Outlander: Blood of my Blood, Stan hosted an exclusive screening in Sydney tonight - the first in a nationwide sold-out series of fan events rolling out across four states, ahead of the premiere August 9, only on Stan in Australia.

The evening's journey kicked off in spectacular fashion with an epic bagpipe procession. Over twenty-five musicians, all dressed in traditional Scottish attire, marched from Taylor Square to the Historic Cell Block Theatre, their powerful music filling the streets of Darlinghurst. The procession served as a captivating welcome, perfectly setting the stage ahead of the exclusive screening.

Inside, the experience continued as attendees were able to interact with a stunning recreation of the iconic Craigh na Dun standing stones, which provided a memorable photo opportunity. Adding to the sensory journey, guests had the chance to personally craft their own bespoke perfume and take home a unique scent inspired by the Scottish Highlands.

The excitement reached a fever pitch with the arrival of beloved Outlander star David Berry (Lord John Grey). He was joined by a number of other familiar faces, including Jayne Azzopardi, Safia Arain (Stan Original Bump), content creators Starr McGowan, Justin Hill, Suzan Mutesi and Stan ambassadors Matty J, Tanya Hennessy, and Mitch Churi. 

Guests were treated to an exclusive Q&A with host Mitch Churi and fan-favourite David Berry, discussing the beloved saga which has captivated audiences worldwide and what is to come for the new stars of the prequel. Following this, a special message from two of the Outlander: Blood of my Blood lead cast members, Harriet Slater and Jamie Roy, kicked off the screening of episode one, with an exclusive sneak peek of episode two. 

David Berry said: "I'm excited for all the cast of Blood of my Blood to be joining the Outlander clan. The fans here tonight, the fans of this show, now the Outlander universe, is a very special clan and I feel privileged to be a part of it. The fandom is integral to the success of this show and now I'm a fan, too, because I will be watching this."
