Matt is proud of Season 3, and can’t wait for us to see it…

Woot woot! The print shop is a 1,000,000 on a scale of 1 to 10! ?

Season 3 can’t be summed up in 3 words…

(But Cait did manage to boil it down to 4 emojis when asked the same q back in May… Caitriona S3 Q&A… )

Matt is clueless about the S3 premiere date ?…

(Breaking a book means taking all of the major plot points out and putting them on the wall using sticky note pads. The writers then pick out the points they feel are more salient and can be fit into the 13 episodes; next they figure out how the story can be re-grouped together to fit into each of the 13 episodes, and the scripts are developed from that).

Even though Matt has taken on more responsibility as an Exec Producer…

he will still be writing for S4…

and has in fact already written at least one script.

Filming for S4 will begin in the fall…

and Season 4 will be 13 episodes (like Seasons 2 and 3).

Season 4 will be filmed in Scotland (sorry to all you hopeful Tar Heels! ?).

Scouting S4 locations in Scotland has begun…

but only Rollo has been cast so far…

There are female directors for S3 and S4

and Matt will release his awesome BTS photos for Season 3 as each new episode airs…

Lots of Outlander cast (and possibly Diana) will attend SDCC (San Diego Comic Con), but no Matt…

That’s it for the highlights. Pretty exciting that we haven’t even seen Season 3 yet, and Season 4 is already under way!
