'Outlander' Season 2 Spoilers, Cast: Actress to Play Brianna May Have Been Chosen
Rumors are rife indicating the casting of Brianna, Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire's (Caitrona Balfe) daughter, in the hit TV series from Starz, "Outlander."
The character, which was taken from the Diana Gabaldon novel series which has the same name as the show, is slated to appear in the highly-anticipated second season of the series. She was described in the casting call as a woman that is "strong-minded, intelligent beyond her years with an effortless charm and sparking sense of humor – traits inherited from both her mother and father." The character, a 20-something Boston native, is said to travel back in time to meet her parents, as added in the details.
Earlier reports mentioned the leaked screening footages which were purportedly posted on Vimeo. The report from International Business Times particularly pointed out the scene where the hopefuls re-enact Brianna commenting about how her father wore a hat to conceal his true identity from the British soldiers.
The other scenes done by the auditioners involve a conversation between Brianna and Claire on the issue about going back through the stones while the former is pregnant. Brianna, in this scene, is said to be particularly concerned about arriving in the designated timeline.
The following months then indicated that the show might have already chosen the actress to play the part.
However, the more recent news from Enstarz.com seems to slam the authenticity of the above rumors. As pointed out by the media outlet, the Starz series has yet to officially announce the person who gets the stint.
The media outlet further cited executive producer Maril Davis, who recently took to her social media to say that "any & all REAL casting news will only come from official source" which will include the official Twitter page of the show, Sony, as well as the producers of the series.
"Outlander" is slated to return to the small screen in the spring of 2016.
