Dont read unless youve watched the season 4 premiere ofOutlanderon Starz.

Welcome to America, Frasers!

Scotland is a stand-in for North Carolina.

We have always had Scotland as a character.

So a majority of the season will take place in America?Yes.

The show jumps right into Wilmington after the shipwreck without really explaining how they got there.

To tell how they journeyed from the shipwreck to Wilmington would have felt a little bit like shoe leather.

We wanted to just get them to Wilmington.

Theyve already kind of acclimated to the new world, and setting their sights on getting back to Scotland.

To do the shoe leather of getting there felt like a little extra work that we didnt need.

You showed the construction of the standing stones in North Carolina.

And will you come back to those particular stones later in the season?Maybe.

They look like they are made of some sort of brick.Those were cairns.

Why did you include those in the first episode?Im not going to spoil it!

So many things will happen even after episode six that will give it away.

I think the idea was to put it in early.

If it comes back, you will bring that scene back in your head to finish the story.

The song the men sing in the pub.

The way we play languages is that if Claire doesnt know the words then we dont subtitle.

But if Clairedoesspeak the language, then we subtitle.

If Claire and Jamie understand it, then the audience should.

Wasnt Rollo originally in this scene?

I was actually in South Africa and flew back to Scotland to pick out the puppy.

We had to get Rollo going, so to speak.

But when we started filming, he was very young.

And it was hard to get Rollo to do the things that Rollo does in the books.

We did have to pull him out of a couple of scenes because it wasnt working.

We just had to work through it.

And then he and John Bell got really close, and that helped, too.

We wrote that into the script.

The title of the episode is America the Beautiful.

It kind of sets up the season.
