The latest round of Outlander spinoff casting includes an Easter Egg for a subset of the book-loyal fandom.
Starz on Wednesday announced the addition of four roles to the forthcoming prequel, Blood of My Blood. Among them: Watchmen‘s Sara Vickers in the part of Brian Fraser’s mother (and, therefore, Jamie Fraser’s grandmother). The character is a housekeeper in the Lovat household, which is good and all, but we’re super into how she’s also named after someone many devotees of author Diana Gabaldon will recognize: Davina Porter, who narrates the audiobook versions of Gabaldon’s Outlander book series.

If you have to admire commitment – and you do – then you have to admire Wolf, a new BBC detective series from the producers of Sherlock, adapted from the seventh book in Mo Hayder’s Jack Caffery novels. From its traumatised detective to its scenery-chewing baddies, Wolf is fully committed to the pulp crime genre. Don’t go in expecting realism. You won’t find it.
You will find Ukweli Roach as Jack Caffery, a London Di settling in back home after a few years working in Wales. Roach makes a plausible enough lead, and a useful straight man to counter the madness elsewhere. Not that Caffery doesn’t come with his own slice of that.
Caffery’s regulation-issue TV detective Unresolved Trauma is the childhood disappearance of his brother. After a sibling spat, 10-year-old Ewan ran off, never to be seen again. Jack’s convinced that their paedophile neighbour abducted him,...

War is ugly, but every once in a while, even those in the thick of it catch a break.
After being captured by the Redcoats on Outlander Season 7 Episode 6, Claire caught such a break.
But even catching that break, this war will feel like an eternity as long as Jamie and his son are in opposition.
As I've noted before, I've not read far enough in the Outlander books to know if William ever becomes aware that Jamie is his birth father, but signs keep pointing in that direction.
Now that he's in America, he's crossing paths with the family on multiple occasions, and I can't help but sense that he will soon feel conflicted about his allegiance to the Crown.
William was raised by good people. He's got kindness in his heart, and even in short interactions with him, Claire realized how much he's like the husband she loves so much.

The opening scene of Starz’s Outlander season seven episode three shows a delivery man dropping off a chest with the name Jeremiah Alexander Ian Fraser MacKenzie emblazoned on the lid. We’re left hanging for just a moment as “The Skye Boat Song” plays, and then it’s revealed that the chest has been kept in a bank vault for 200 years.
It’s presented to Roger (Richard Rankin) and Brianna (Sophie Skelton) who, by the way, look terrific in ‘80s attire and new hairstyles. After revealing that Mandy’s doing great, Fiona Graham Buchan (Iona Claire) – who’s happy to have them back – gives them time alone to open the chest. Inside are a musket ball and scores of letters written to Brianna from Jamie and Claire.
The first letter she opens is dated April 1776, and Jamie assures her they’re alive.

Hang on to your hat — especially if that’s where you keep your marmalade sandwiches — because Paddington 3 will find the fuzziest member of the Brown family returning to his old stomping grounds in “Darkest Peru.” Deadline reports that the third installment in the franchise will begin production on July 24th, 2023, and will film on-location in both England and Peru. The threequel will be helmed by commercial director Dougal Wilson.
The first Paddington film came out in 2014 and began with the little bear’s journey from “Darkest Peru” to Paddington Station. 2017’s Paddington 2 opened with a flashback to his jungle home, before picking up in the hustle and bustle of London.
Paul King helmed these first two installments, but he’s tied up directing Timothee Chalamet in Wonka. “After ten years of working on the Paddington movies, I feel absurdly protective of the little bear, and I’m delighted...

Paddington fans can rest easy... because filming on a second sequel has now been given a date.
While a third movie based around the adventures of Paddington Bear, was announced back in 2016, recent reports had suggested the project was stuck in development limbo.
Speaking to Collider earlier this year, Paddington voice actor Ben Whishaw claimed: “I haven’t read this script and I don’t even know when we’re due to shoot it. I don’t know. I thought it would be happening by now, but I don’t know. It’s gone silent in the way that sometimes these things do.
“Maybe that just means they’re still working on it, or maybe it means it’s not happening, or you just don’t know.”
The previous film in the franchise, the enthusiastically praised Paddington 2, was released back in 2017.

“Outlander” is giving fans a little more time before they have to say goodbye — and giving subscribers more of a reason to sign up for a full year instead of just a few months. Season 7 of the time-travel romance will air in two parts, Starz said on Wednesday, with the first half airing this year and the second half waiting for 2024.
Season 7, as previously announced, consists of 16 episodes, the show’s highest order count since Season 1. Like Season 1, which aired in 2014 and 2015, Season 7 will be split into two eight-episode bunches — the “Droughtlander” is officially over on June 16. “Outlander” has already been renewed for a final Season 8, which will consist of 10 episodes and presumably air in 2025 or later.
It is currently unclear if the show, based on Diana Gabaldon’s series of historical-fantasy romance novels, will completely adapt the entire saga. Each season of “Outlander” thus far has adapted (roughly) one...

Diana Gabaldon didn’t start writing her first novel until she was in her mid-30s. It was the late 1980s, and at the time she was a professor at Arizona State University. She says she had dreams of writing a novel since she was a little girl, and when she turned 35, she decided it was time to pursue it. Her very first book would eventually become Outlander. But if she would have stuck to her original plan, no one would have ever read it.

“Paddington 3” is being put on paws.
Actor Ben Whishaw, who voices the whimsically adorable bear, revealed that updates on the third film have “gone silent” in recent months. Production was supposed to begin in the second quarter of 2022, as announced by Studiocanal at the Cannes Film Festival.
“I haven’t read this script and I don’t even know when we’re due to shoot it. I don’t know,” Whishaw told Collider. “I thought it would be happening by now, but I don’t know. It’s gone silent in the way that sometimes these things do. Maybe that just means they’re still working on it, or maybe it means it’s not happening, or you just don’t know.”
The third installment was set to be titled “Paddington in Peru,” with franchise newcomer Dougal Wilson on board to direct.

Put on your kilts and break out the bagpipes in mourning: “Outlander” is coming to an end. The hit Starz TV series has been renewed for an eighth and final season, the premium cable channel announced Thursday. The news comes ahead of Season 7 of the series, which will premiere in Summer 2023.
The news makes it unclear if the show, which is based Diana Gabaldon’s series of historical fantasy romance novels, will adapt the most recent installment, 2021’s “Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone.” Each season of “Outlander” has thus far roughly adapted one book in the series, with the upcoming seventh season set to cover 2009’s “An Echo in the Bone” and Season 8 presumably covering 2014’s “Written in My Own Heart’s Blood.” That said, Season 7 is set to have an extended 16-episode run, while Season 8 will consist of 10 episodes, so its possible that longer length can help cover all three books.

Outlander actor Graham McTavish has recently spoken out about the possibility of him appearing in the Starz network series, Blood of My Blood.
The actor starred as Dougal MacKenzie in Outlander but was killed off in Season 2 of the hit historical time-traveling drama series.
When news broke that Starz was in production for a spinoff series, viewers immediately started questioning who from the original series might be in the new show.
Blood of My Blood will tell the story of Jamie Fraser’s (Sam Heughan) parents, so that meant Jamie was out of the question — unless a much younger version of the character was involved.
