'Outlander' Season 4 Release Date, Spoilers, Cast: Ed Speelers Makes Surprising Convention Appearance

Little details about Outlander Season 4's filming are now emerging as the show's production continues. In fact, Sophie Skelton, who plays the role of Brianna Randall Fraser, is giving her and the show's fans some updates on her social media pages.

The 24-year-old star shared a snap of Kansas City, where she had to cancel her appearance at Sasnak City Convention because of Outlander Season 4 night shoots, on Instagram. "If only we were filming night shoots here tonight," she captioned the photo. She also apologized to her fans as she can't make it to the event, but promised to be there at the next convention in 2019.

According to Cartermatt, Outlander Season 4 has no definite filming schedules; thus, it only happens when it has to happen. However, for the Sasnak City Convention, it was graced by other show's stars like Steven Cree (Ian Murray), John Bell (Young Ian), Gary Lewis (Colum MacKenzie), Cesar Domboy (older Fergus), Lauren Lyle (Marsali), Grant O'Rourke (Rupert), and Graham McTavish (Dougal). Also, fans were surprised to see Ed Speelers at the event.

It has been said it was quite surprising to see Ed Speelers along with other Outlander Season 4 stars as he hasn't made an appearance on the Starz TV series yet. The publication also noted his appearance was very interesting as he can't talk much about his character, Stephen Bonnet, on the show because he might spill some crucial details. However, his role is known for being a vital part of Diana Gabaldon's book series with the same title, which is the show based on.

  If only we were filming nightshoots here tonight #Outlander Happy #Fridaynight everyone and to all of those who are heading to Sasnak City, safe travels and enjoy!!! So sorry not be able to make it there with you all... Next year! Have a wonderful time... and keep on eye on that @johnhunterbell and @stevencree for us #troublemakers

Talking about Outlander Season 4's cast, of course, Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe will return to reprise their roles as Jamie and Claire, respectively, Radio Times reported. Aside from the on-screen couple, other stars who made it after Outlander Season 3's final episode will all return.

They, too, will be joined by some new faces like the Irish actress Maria Doyle Kennedy, who will play the role of Jamie's Aunt Jocasta. She owns the plantation where Claire and Jamie arrived at in Outlander Season 4. As aforementioned, Ed Speelers will also be on the show as Stephen Bonnet, who will be the series' main villain. To complete the new cast, there will be two new puppies that will play the role of Rollo, a hybrid wolf that becomes a member of the Fraser clan.

Starz has yet to announce Outlander Season 4's official release date. However, it is expected to be out this year.
