<p id=”par-2_31″><em>Outlander: Blood of My Blood </em>might not feature fan-favorite couple <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/outlander-cast-then-and-now-jamie-and-claire-changed-season-1.html/”>Claire and Jamie</a>. But it will deliver a double-dose of romance as it explores the parallel love stories of their parents. </p>
<p id=”par-3_38″>The <em>Outlander </em>prequel will follow Jamie’s mother Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) and father Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) in the early 18th-century Scottish Highlands and Claire’s mother Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine) in WWI-era England.</p>

<p id=”par-4_20″>A new teaser trailer hints at what to expect from the show, including epic romance, wartime drama, and gorgeous landscapes.</p>
<p id=”par-5_17″>“Without you, I am adrift,” someone – presumably Henry – whispers in the trailer’s final seconds. Swoon.</p>

Sam Heughan Thinks the Prequel ‘Blood of My Blood’ Could Be Even More Successful Than ‘Outlander’ </a>
</p>

<p id=”par-8_49″>The new <em>Outlander </em>prequel series should give fans something to chew over as they speculate about what’s to come in <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/two-fan-favorite-outlander-characters-return-season-8.html/”><em>Outlander </em>Season 8</a>. During a Jan. 15 appearance on <em>The Tonight Show </em>(via <a href=”https://youtu.be/GTFc6P0guJ0?feature=shared” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>YouTube</a>)<em>, </em>series star Sam Heughan said that viewers should brace themselves for an intense season finale. </p>
<p id=”par-9_45″>“Seventh season, part B, huge cliffhanger at the end,” he said. “There’s something for fans … It absolutely is one of my favorite finales. Incredible <em>Outlander </em>moments. Big drama. Big cliffhanger. Something that I think everyone’s going to be talking about for quite some time.” </p>
<p id=”par-10_34″>While <em>Outlander </em>is taking a break, Starz viewers will also get to see more of Heughan in his new show, <em>The Couple Next Door</em>. It premieres Jan. 17, immediately after the <em>Outlander </em>Season finale. </p>
<p id=”par-11_22″>“It’s a psychological, sexy drama,” he shared. “Has an amazing cast. And the storyline is so explosive. You’re going to love it.” </p>
