Scottish actor Sam Heughan, star of the international hit series Outlander, will visit Sydney this month for a promotional tour.
Filming has just wrapped in the UK on the eagerly awaited second instalment of 13 episodes, based on the second of eight books in Diana Gabaldon’s international best-selling Outlander series, entitled Dragonfly in Amber.
In Outlander S2 Claire (Balfe) and Jamie (Heughan) arrive in France, hell-bent on infiltrating the Jacobite rebellion led by Prince Charles Stuart, and stopping the battle of Culloden. With the help of his cousin Jared, a local wine merchant, Jamie and Claire are thrown into the lavish world of French society where intrigue and parties are abundant, but political gain proves far less fruitful. Altering the course of history presents challenges that begin to weigh on the very fabric of their relationship. However armed with the knowledge of what lies ahead, Claire and Jamie must race to prevent a doomed Highland uprising and the extinction of Scottish life as they know it.
Sam will be in Sydney on March 21 and 22.
Outlander S2 will premiere Express from the US, from Sunday, April 10 at 8.30pm AEST, on Foxtel’s SoHo channel.
