Starz revealed the release date for Season 2 of its “Outlander” spinoff, “Outlander: Blood of My Blood” in a new teaser trailer released Monday. 

The series is set to hit television screens Sept. 18

The series is a prequel to “Outlander,” following the love stories of Claire and Jamie’s parents. 

“After an unexpected journey back in time left Henry (Jeremy Irvine) and Julia (Hermione Corfield) Beauchamp lost and separated in the sweeping highlands of 18th century Scotland, Season 1 culminated with the two finally reuniting at the standing stones of Craigh na Dun, hoping to return to their own time and their young daughter, Claire,” a synopsis of the series reads. “The first glimpse at Season 2 picks up at that moment and reveals a distraught Julia alone with their baby. Separated from his love and hope, Henry must grapple with his mental health, as he fights to find his way back to her.

“Meanwhile, the forbidden relationship between Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) and Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) seemed to conquer all odds, but their romantic escape was cut short as fiery crosses were lit and the 1715 Jacobite Rising began, thrusting the clans into war. In Season 1, they chose each other over their families, but now they must prioritize their clan loyalties, as Brian fulfills his obligation to fight and Ellen seeks to make things right with her family.”

The series also stars Tony Curran, Seamus McLean Ross, Sam Retford, Rory Alexander and Conor MacNeill. The series are adaptations of the novels by Diana Gabaldon.
