'Outlander' Season 3 News: Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan Show Claire and Jamie's Old Versions in New Video
In celebration of World Outlander Day, "Outlander" stars Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan gave fans a first look at their aged characters for season 3.
Last week, a video of Balfe and Heughan as Claire and Jaime was posted on the show's official Twitter account. The short clip shows the actors giving fans three reasons to be excited for the new installment. Balfe appears noticeably older due to her gray roots, while Heughan sports a much lighter red hair than what viewers are used to seeing. The pair looks pretty much the same, even though they are supposed to be 20 years older.
In the video, Balfe and Heughan also discuss the show's production and confirmed that they only have three weeks of filming left. Additionally, they drop hints about the highlights of season 3, including the turtle soup Jamie feeds Claire when she gets sick, their unexpected reunion in the print shop and their interesting journey to Jamaica.
