Transcript

00:00yes the steamy scenes are are in there they're teased you know a little bit

00:03yeah they do a good job of that don't they just like slipping in like don't

00:06worry we've got your we've got your back covered yeah

00:08and that scene is excellent i will add i've watched it with you both

00:13that wasn't weird at all in the same room never doing that again

00:16hi we are the cast of outlander blood of my blood and we are talking to the

00:28hollywood reporter at comic-con did you do a deep dive into the history of the

00:33outlander world before stepping into these roles or were you already fans

00:36i don't think any of us had seen it beforehand oh maybe you had a little bit

00:40i had seen it um because i was in i was gonna screen test for brianna back in the

00:47day but i had a clash with another job so i had i had seen it and then i revisited

00:50it we watched the entire thing we're kind of we're kind of nerds about it

00:55yeah yeah i had watched a little bit before but then i stopped watching it

00:59just after i got cast um just so i didn't pick up anything

01:03and uh yeah once i kind of found my character i uh got right back into it

01:08and yeah now we're like just two huge outlander narratives

01:11yeah inadvertently can't wait for season eight

01:14coming soon what was it like doing a panel yesterday and seeing just how

01:18excited outlander fans are for the show

01:20it was brilliant wasn't it it was so much fun i think it was so nice because often

01:23when you film something it feels like you're in a bit of a bubble and you

01:25don't really get to meet the fans a lot of the time so it was so nice to

01:29actually like be on that stage and like be able to see out into the audience and

01:32everyone was just so lovely it was such a nice atmosphere

01:34and like with the signing afterwards as well it was just the most welcoming

01:38thing it was like the first time because up until this point everything's

01:43been on the internet and it's not really you know been real so you see all these

01:46comments from people who are really enthusiastic but they're just names on

01:50instagram right and then you actually get to see these people behind that and yeah

01:55i think for me personally that made it really real and it was very very special

01:59and we got to watch outlander do the panel first so we saw them doing it on the screen

02:03and that was really special then follow after that and they came out and gave us a hug and

02:08like go for it so it's a nice kind of passing on baton

02:11re-transition wasn't it yeah it was nice

02:13what's it like filming in these just beautiful locations and how do you feel like it affects your

02:18performance oh man you kind of lean into the elements i think that's sort of part of

02:23the joy of it you're out in these beautiful landscapes and you're well i'm my character

02:28is normally in some kind of precarious situation and you kind of you can really lean into that

02:33and the moody atmosphere and the rain and the mountains it's really quite easy to i think

02:38yeah no i'm just going to echo echo that you know sometimes when yeah you're going through

02:43these really really tough things and then when it's pouring and it's absolutely freezing

02:46you're like well i can either hate this or i can use it and it's obviously much better to

02:51to use it did you feel any pressure stepping into the outlander world or were you just excited

02:55i guess i don't have pressure is the right word it definitely felt a little bit daunting i guess

03:00because outlander is so hugely successful it felt like we had kind of big boots to fill

03:05but like at the same time and i think overwhelmingly the support of the fan base is just such a joy

03:12and a privilege and it's so rare to step into something that has such a huge and enthusiastic

03:17pre-existing base um so i think we all feel really lucky and really supported by them what should

03:23outlander fans be most excited to see in this show i think original outlander fans will really love

03:28seeing the younger versions of the characters they've you know grown to love um because it's the

03:33journey of or it's a story i should say of how these characters got to that point you know

03:38and they're not the same people you know they'll see them like oh that's like young murta or young

03:42dougal young column um but they're completely different to the characters they know and i think

03:47they'll really really enjoy seeing that journey they go on to become um the ones they know it's

03:52also i think this series explores the political landscape of the clans in a really lovely way i mean

03:59even i can't really spoil it but even my character in some way that's the sort of i don't know

04:04you get a real insight into that and the different families and i think that's pretty special because

04:09it is such an ensemble of a cast as well can fans expect more steamy scenes in this show i mean it's

04:17outlander it wouldn't really be outlander without it yes but i think yeah it's very romantic and i think

04:25those scenes are important and they drive the story and they they drive the relationship i think they come

04:31often at really pivotal moments in these characters relationships um so yes yes it's the short

04:39answer even from the trailer it's like yes the steamy scenes are are in there they're teased you

04:44know a little bit yeah they do a good job with that don't they just like slipping in like don't

04:48worry we've got your we've got your back covered yeah and that scene is excellent i will add i've

04:53watched it with you both yeah that wasn't weird in the same room yeah never do that again yeah

04:58i want to do a quick outlander inspired round of this or that first one kilt or tweed jacket

05:05both are appealing options but i i like a kilt you can't be a kilt yeah kilt kilt kilt kilt

06:26every single person's name that i ever meet how practical would that be come on wouldn't you rather

06:31be invisible or something yeah but then like i don't know i'm talking practicality like how often

06:37how often are you going to be invisible i mean like it would be cool to do but like how would flying

06:40yeah that would also be cool but then i like to think of the drawbacks like if you're flying

06:44does that mean you have like super eyes as well because they get like flies and wind in your eyes
