Och, aye! Season three of Outlander will hit our screens on September 11. The series will be available on both showcase and via Foxtel Now.
There will be 13 episodes in season three, based on Diana Gabaldon’s third novel in the Outlander series, Voyager. The season took ten months to film and was shot in Scotland and Cape Town, South Africa.
The plot will pick up right where we left off at the end of season two. Claire (Catriona balfe) is back in 1948 and trying to reconnect to her first husband Frank Randall (Tobias Menzies), while pregnant with Jamie Fraser’s (Sam Heughan’s) child. Needless to say, things are complicated.
Separated by continents and centuries, Clare and Jamie are desperate to find a way back to each other.
This time around, Sophie Skelton and Richard Rankin will reprise their roles as Brianna Randall and Roger Wakefield. We will also meet a much older version of Fergus, who will be played by César Domboy.
This season we will also see Australian actor David Berry (A Place To Call Home) in the role of Lord John Grey.
Lord John is a steadfast and honourable British subject, torn between a finely-honed sense of familial duty and a strong moral compass of right and wrong. He is the governor of Ardsmuir Prison, where he winds up befriending Jamie.
In other interesting news, the character of Lord John Grey, actually had his own series of novels by Diana Gabaldon. We’re just saying, we’d be totally on board an Outlander spin-off series starring our very own David Berry!
