Starz has set an April 9th premiere for the second season of "Outlander," almost a full year on from the first season finale in May last year.
Based on "Dragonfly in Amber," the second book in author Diana Gabaldon's best-selling novel series, the new season will be shorter at thirteen episodes. Due to this it's likely this won't be split in half like the first season - but that's not confirmed as yet.
The network has also released the season two key art featuring Claire Randall Fraser (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) on the steps of Versailles as the new season shifts the action from the Scottish Highlands to 18th century France.

For all of you Outlander fans, “Breewatch” is finally over! Actress Sophie Skelton has been tapped to play the role of Brianna in season 2.

Brianna is described in the books as a striking, redheaded woman, strong-minded and intelligent beyond her years with traits inherited from both her mother and father. Brianna has a distinctly scholastic mindset and a healthy dose of Fraser stubbornness. Skelton joins previously announced Richard Rankin, who will join the cast in season two as Roger Wakefield.

Outlander announced on Monday that the show has found its adult Roger Wakefield in the form of Scottish-born actor Richard Rankin, and while book fans might rejoice at this news, at least one cast member, Graham McTavish, is sadly disappointed. McTavish currently plays Dougal MacKenzie, the war chieftain of Clan MacKenzie, who knocks up accused witch Geillis Duncan. The product of their union is the ancestor of Roger Wakefield, the adorable little boy adopted by Reverend Wakefield, whom we met in season one, during the 1945 scenes. Come season two, we meet up with Roger once again, only this time, he's an adult. Since the show already has a history of one actor playing both ancestor and descendant — see Tobias Menzies, who plays both Frank and Black Jack — McTavish hoped he might have a shot at doing the same with Dougal and Roger.
