Starz confirmed César Domboy (The Walk) and Lauren Lyle have signed on to Outlander season three. Domboy will be taking on the role on an older Fergus while Lyle was cast as Marsali, one of Laoghaire’s daughters. Fergus was played by Romann Berrux in season two of the series but with the show jumping forward in the timeline, the character has aged up and will be played by 26-year-old Domboy in the upcoming season.
Here’s the official description of Fergus, courtesy of Starz: “Born into a brothel, Fergus has grown up into a charming, devilishly handsome man with a strong sense of loyalty and decorum, despite his unconventional upbringing. He is the ultimate romantic, wearing his heart on his sleeve and falling in and out of love easily. However, Fergus’s devotion to Jamie has never wavered, making the Frenchman an integral part of the Fraser clan. Still, his debonair demeanor masks a longing for a lasting love and a permanent sense of belonging.”
Starz’s description of Marsali: “Marsali is the 18-year-old high-spirited daughter of Laoghaire. Blond and lovely, like her mother who we first met in season one when her youthful crush on Jamie Fraser was halted by his marriage to Claire, but Marsali has a rebellious and romantic mind of her own. She knows what she wants and she goes after it – reputation and propriety be damned.”
The third season of Outlander is based on Diana Gabaldon’s Voyager and stars Sam Heughan as Jamie, Caitriona Balfe as Claire, David Berry as Lord John Grey, Richard Rankin as Roger Wakefield, Sophie Skelton as Brianna Randall, John Bell as Young Ian, and Wil Johnson as Joe Abernathy.
The Season 3 Plot: The story picks up right after Claire travels through the stones to return to her life in 1948. Now pregnant, she struggles with the fallout of her sudden reappearance and its effect on her marriage to her first husband, Frank. Meanwhile, in the 18th century, Jamie suffers from the aftermath of his doomed last stand at the historic battle of Culloden, as well as the loss of Claire.
As the years pass, Jamie and Claire attempt to make a life apart from one another, each haunted by the memory of their lost love. The budding possibility that Claire can return to Jamie in the past breathes new hope into Claire’s heart… as well as new doubt. Separated by continents and centuries, Claire and Jamie must find their way back to each other. As always, adversity, mystery, and adventure await them on the path to reunion. And the question remains: when they find each other, will they be the same people who parted at the standing stones, all those years ago?
