NewsOutlander just wrapped its first season with a controvestial episode and the show is already getting a jump on season two with a new casting update.
With the storyline shifting to France, Outlander has added French actor Stanley Weber and Scottish actor Robert Cavanah for season two according to E! Online and Access Hollywood, respectively. Weber will play Le Comte St. Germain, who becomes a “villain” and Cavanah will play Jamie’s Jacobite cousin, the wine merchant Jared Fraser.
Outlander Renewed for Season 2
After just one episode of Outlander, Starz was clearly happy with the viewing numbers. The network soon after ordered a second season for the time-traveling romance.
Back in August, Starz CEO Chris Albrecht greenlighted a second season of Outlander that will last for at least 13 episodes and will be based on the second novel in author Diana Gabaldon’s book series, Dragonfly in Amber. Outlander broke multiplatform viewing records when 5 million people watched the first episode.
“The overwhelming support Outlander has received from the fans, viewers, and critics made the decision for us to go ahead with the second book a very easy one,” Albrecht said. “Diana Gabaldon has given us years of great drama. With an incredible artist such as Ronald D. Moore at the helm and a cast as spectacular as this, we look forward to continue his spell-binding journey with Claire, Jamie, Frank, Brianna, Roger, and everybody over the centuries.”
