"Outlander" season 2 spoilers were already made available after the first season finale titled "To Random A Man's Soul" aired on May 30. "Outlander" show runner Ronald D. Moore recently talked about the production of the upcoming second season.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Moore said they are already on the third day of production for "Outlander" season 2 so they have been in the writers' room for quite a few months. The show runner said, "We have a lot of scripts, more than half a season has been written."
According to Moore, the script for "Outlander" season 2 is still being re-written. He noted that there is always an on-going process but they have drafts of seven episodes, and preparing for the second season was like creating a new show.
While preparing "Outlander" season 2, Moore said there is nothing of season 1 physically to use as they have had to build entirely new costumes and sets. He pointed out that the second season is just a whole new show they have been prepping recently.
In addition, Moore revealed that "Outlander" season 2 is "a very urban setting" as the characters are going to be dealing with the French aristocracy, which requires "a whole different world, visually and color and tone and texture."
"Outlander" stars Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser, Caitriona Balfe as Claire Randall, Tobias Menzies as Frank Randall, Duncan Lacroix as Murtagh Fraser and Grant O'Rourke as Rupert MacKenzie, among others.
Meanwhile, Menzies recently talked about the sci-fi drama, in which he plays Frank Randall. In an interview with Moviefone, he said he did think about the TV series when it first came his way and revealed he is a big fan of Moore.
Menzies said he had admired the TV series "Battlestar Galactica," which Moore co-created with Glen A. Larson. The actor implied the interesting thing about "Outlander" and "Battlestar Galactica" is not the fact that they are sci-fi but the fact that they are very character-driven, which maker "really great TV."
