Spiral may not be a direct continuation of the Saw films, but does live within the same universe, which means it may include callbacks and references to the originals. The first Saw is on HBO Max, and you can watch Saw III and Saw: The Final Chapter on Hulu. Watch the original film to familiarize yourself with the folklore, though note that writer Peele has promised a few changes to the story for this reboot. Catch the original film via a digital rental before the new Candyman premieres in theaters on Aug. 27. You actually have time to do all of the above: The new film premieres in theaters and on HBO Max on Dec. 18.
