Outlander fans are eager for the return of the beloved time-travelling drama. Despite the end of the long-running season looming, the devoted fanbase needn't worry about the series ending, thanks to the upcoming prequel show, Blood of My Blood.

She added: "Going on set each day is like travelling back in time. You’re on location and everyone just looks like an 18th-century highlander – it’s amazing."Meanwhile, although the Scottish weather is "wild up here", she has loved filming in Scotland in some of "the most beautiful places imaginable"."I’m a huge castle nerd, so looking around some of the places we’ve been to has been a treat," she continued.
