Whether you love “Outlander” for its sexy love scenes, supernatural elements, Scottish culture or deeply researched historical settings (or all of the above), you’ll likely love the new prequel series that’s landing on small screens early next month.

While “Outlander” is a stirring saga that surveys the complicated time traveling romance of Jamie Fraser and Claire Beauchamp. “Blood” charts both their parents’ origins.

As much as Outlander: Blood of My Blood is designed to appeal to the flagship show’s passionate fanbase, it’s also a prequel series that newbies to the franchise can watch. You don’t need to know Jamie and Claire’s story to fall hard for these new love stories.
