- Hi, everyone.
Let's talk about Outlander season three
and what we know so far.
Outlander's third season doesn't have a premiere date yet,
but we do know that it will air in 2017.
If previous seasons are anything to go by,
we should expect season three to air sometime in April 2017.
I gathered information from STARZ official announcements
about this series, as well as articles and interviews
that appeared on Entertainment Weekly and TVLine.com,
and here is what we know so far about season three.
Let's start with the good news that
in addition to season three,
Outlander has also been renewed for season four.
Season three is based on the third book
of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series, Voyager,
and season four will be based on the fourth book
in the series, Drums of Autumn.
Season three will open with the Battle of Culloden,
which is a bit different from the book
in which Jamie wakes up with no recollection
of what happened.
We will also get to see a duel between Jamie and Black Jack.
In fact, we already got a sneak peek of it,
thanks to a picture release by Entertainment Weekly.
The official synopsis also gives us quite a bit
of information about what we can expect in season three.
Here is what it says.
Book three of Outlander picks up
right after Claire travels through the stones
to return to her life in 1948.
Now pregnant, she struggles with the fallout
of her sudden reappearance and it's effect
on her marriage to her first husband, Frank.
Meanwhile, in the 18th century, Jamie suffers
from the aftermath of his doomed last stand
at the historic Battle of Culloden
as well as the loss of Claire.
As the years pass, Jamie and Claire attempt
to make a life apart from one another,
each haunted by the memory of their lost love.
The budding possibility that Claire can return
to Jamie in the past breathes new hope
into Claire's heart as well as new doubts.
Separated by continents and centuries,
Claire and Jamie must find their way back to each other.
As always, adversity, mystery,
and adventure awaits them on the path to reunion.
And the question remains: when they find each other,
will they be the same people who parted
at the Standing Stones all these years ago?
Another fun fact is that this season will also go
on a Caribbean cruise,
which for now we don't know much about.
We can expect the return
of some favorite characters this season.
Fergus will, of course, return in season three,
but it will be with a different face.
French actor César Domboy has been cast
to play the older version of Fergus this season.
Brianna, Claire and Jamie's daughter,
will return in season three, and so will Roger,
whose ancestors are Geillis and Dougal.
Lord John Grey.
Played by David Berry, Lord John Grey is
a former British soldier turned Ardsmuir Prison governor.
He is described as a steadfast
and honorable British subject torn
between a finely-honed sense of familial duty
and a strong moral compass of right and wrong.
He is boyishly handsome with an upper-class rearing,
the consummate gentleman.
However, a scandal from his past has relegated Lord John
to an undesirable position as governor
of a desolate prison in Northern Scotland.
If you remember, we met John Grey before as a teenager.
He was the one caught trying to attack Jamie
and his men in season two before the Battle of Prestonpans.
I remember in my review for the episode
I mentioned that I thought we'd see him again,
and here he is.
His path will once again cross with Jamie's
when Jamie finds himself in Ardsmuir Prison.
Both of them start an unlikely friendship
which gets a bit complicated, as Grey is
a closeted gay man who develops feelings for Jamie.
Season three will, of course,
also bring some new faces for us to meet.
Marsali.
Played by Lauren Lyle, Marsali
is Leary's 18-year-old, high-spirited daughter.
Not surprisingly, she has a rebellious
and romantic mind of her own.
She knows what she wants, and she goes after it,
reputation and property be damned.
Joe Abernathy.
Played by Will Johnson, Joe Abernathy
is a fellow doctor-in-training whom Claire befriends
in medical school in Boston in the 1960s.
According to the official description of the character,
he is intelligent, charismatic,
with a wry and irreverent sense of humor.
Joe is a loyal confidant with great affection for Claire.
He puts on a good face, but he is all too aware
of his place in the Civil Rights era.
Joe and Claire both feel out of place
in the mostly all-white, all-male medical field,
which bonds them together in a lifelong friendship.
Ian Murray.
Played by John Bell, Ian Murray is Jamie's nephew.
The official description of the character
is that he is a tall, gangly Scottish lad
with a heart of gold, a stubborn streak,
and a penchant for getting into trouble.
Bursting with charm, he is more like
his adventurous, fierce uncle Jamie Fraser
than his farmer father, Ian, but when we meet him,
he is still a very gawky boy.
However, he keeps trying to prove that he
is a man, and we will see him grow
into quite a formidable one as the series evolves.
So that's all the information that I have for now,
but if of course let me know if I forgot anything
in the comments, and I would also love to hear
what you're looking forward to in season three of Outlander.
If you enjoyed this video, don't forget to subscribe.
Thank you guys so much for watching,
and I will see you soon.
Bye.
I'm honestly a little scared as to what Outlander
will put us through this season,
because it's been pretty crazy
up until now, so I don't know.
I'm worried and excited.
And worried and excited.
