Hello!

I have added 2 new stills of Caitriona Balfe from ‘Outlander’ Season 6. You can go to the gallery and enjoy!

Starz has set early 2022 for the long-awaited Season 6 premiere of Outlander. The announcement comes as production winds up this week on the sixth season of the fantasy period drama from executive producer Ronald D. Moore, based on Diana Gabaldon’s book series. Production had been delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic; the extended wait for the new season dubbed Droughtlander by many. Starz says the series will return in 2022 with a shortened eight-episode season including a 90-minute premiere episode. Production then will begin on an extended 16-episode Season 7, according to Starz. Both seasons initially were slated for 12 episodes, in line with the previous five seasons. Starz also released some new photos from Season 6.

“We are excited to get into the editing room to work on bringing the fans one step closer to reuniting with the family back on Fraser’s Ridge,” said Matthew B. Roberts, Outlander showrunner. “Filming in 2021 has presented an unprecedented set of challenges which led us to the decision to truncate the season in order to bring the fans the most vibrant and dynamic season as soon as possible. Dinna fash, we will then film an extended season seven with 16 episodes next year as life returns to normalcy.”

Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan star as Claire and Jamie Fraser, along with Sophie Skelton and Richard Rankin as Brianna and Roger MacKenzie and John Bell as Young Ian.

“We are committed to telling the story fully with gripping and bold storylines in the upcoming eight-episode season that introduces viewers to new characters including Tom, Allan and Malva Christie (Mark Lewis-Jones, Alexander Vlahos and Jessica Reynolds) who create tension on the Ridge,” said Christina Davis, President of Original Programming for Starz. “We can’t wait for viewers to see the exciting sixth season that reflects the Starz #TakeTheLead initiative through unapologetic storytelling and powerful female characters.”

Focus Features will be releasing Kenneth Branagh’s Belfast on November 12.

Outlander‘s Caitriona Balfe stars with Judi Dench, Jamie Dornan, Ciaran Hinds and 10-year-old Jude Hill in the pic, a poignant story of love, laughter and loss in one boy’s childhood, amid the music and social tumult of the late 1960s.

Dornan and Balfe play a passionate working-class couple caught up in the mayhem, with Dench and Hinds as sharp-witted grandparents.

Outlander continues.

Starz has picked up a seventh season of the period fantasy drama ahead of its sixth season.

This comes as filming on season six started back up earlier this year, delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic and dubbed Droughtlander by many.

Matthew B. Roberts will continue as showrunner with stars Caitriona Balfe, Sam Heughan, Sophie Skelton and Richard Rankin all returning for season seven, which will be based on An Echo in the Bone, the seventh book in Diana Gabaldon’s book series.

It has been picked up for a 12-episode order from Sony Pictures Television, in line with the last four seasons.

Outlander, exec produced by Ronald D. Moore, stars Balfe as Claire Randall, a married former WWII nurse who in 1946 finds herself transported back to Scotland in 1743. Gabaldon also has a ninth – Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone – forthcoming.

There’s no official word on any scripted spinoffs as yet, although last year Starz CEO Jeffrey Hirsch told Deadline that he believes “there’s a lot of opportunity in the Outlander universe to have story extensions, spin-offs or sequels”. “Hopefully we’ll find something that feels great and that we can continue to tell that story,” he added.

Fans are often calling for a storyline featuring Lord John Grey, a loyal friend to the key characters, to be spun-off. Gabaldon has written a number of Lord John novellas.

On the non-scripted side, Heughan and Graham McTavish are currently starring in Scottish road trip series Men In Kilts, exploring their heritage and meeting an incredible collection of people who showcase what it means to be Scottish.

I can’t wait for the new season of Outlander!! What about you?

I have added the first image of the Season 6 to the gallery. They are on set now!

The Satellite Awards 2021, has recently announced the list of the nominees in various categories. Celebrating the 25th year of ‘Satellite Awards,’ this time it seems to be coming up with something new, something innovative. As soon as the various categories and the nominees were announced, it was found out that the ‘Outlander’ fame Caitriona Balfe, often known as ‘Claire’ has also made it up to the nomination list!

One who has witnessed the battle of Scottish clans in the periodic drama series ‘Outlander,’ might have come across the charismatic dramatics of Caitriona Balfe, playing the eponymous as Claire, the time travelling woman. Known for her magical chemistry test with her co-actor Sam Heughan in ‘Outlander, she has elevated herself beyond excellence. After completely watching the entire series, one might find it hard to fit any other actress into the role of Claire, such was her acting versatility. No wonder that she was nominated for the Satellite Awards.

Getting enrolled into the list of nominees in the actresses in series, and that too for the silver Jubilee of Satellite Awards is indeed an honor. Recently, the actress herself expressed her wholehearted gratitude with an interesting GIF image from the series ‘Outlander.’

Caitriona Balfe just talked about being “starstruck” while working with Dame Judi Dench on their new film, Belfast.

What do Dame Judi Dench, Caitriona Balfe and Jamie Dornan have in common?

Well firstly, we are big fans of all three actors. They are also working on Kenneth Branagh’s new autobiographical film, Belfast, together. And, over the last few months, they have each recorded fascinating podcast interviews: Dench discussed grief on David Tennant Does A Podcast With…, while Dornan talked about his failures on How To Fail With Elizabeth Day and, just this week, Balfe opened up on Thanks A Million with Angela Scanlon.

During this interview, Balfe shared what it was like to work with Dench while filming Belfast, and it’s just piqued our interest over the project even more.

“I recently got to work with Dame Judi Dench and I can’t quite believe it,” Balfe told podcast host Scanlon. “It’s one of those things where […] absolutely mind blown.”

Telling listeners what to expect from the movie, Balfe continued: “It’s really beautiful. I don’t know how much I can say about the actual film, but it’s sort of based on his [Branagh’s] childhood in Belfast.

“I play his mum and the lovely, lovely Jamie Dornan plays his dad and then Dame Judi Dench plays his granny and Ciaran Hinds plays granddad… The whole thing was just so lovely.”

Balfe described being “starstruck” while filming a scene with Dench: “There was one scene in particular, and Kenneth’s amazing to work with, he just’s the loveliest guy. We would do a scene and sometimes he’d just ask you to do a little improv.

“And so I’m just sitting there improving with Judi Dench and it was just like, half of your head is sort of in it and you’re doing it and then the other half is there going ‘Oh my God. Oh my God. I can’t actually believe this is happening. This is crazy.’”

Irish actress Caitriona Balfe has opened up about the realities of the modelling industry.

The Monaghan actress and model is the only Irish woman ever to have walked in the Victoria’s Secret fashion show.

On Angela Scanlon’s podcast Thanks a Million, she opened up about the realities of the modelling world and the challenges that come alongside it.

She said that when she began modelling, Brazillian models like Gisele were all the rage and that her hair was dyed red in an attempt to look more Irish.

She said that in her experience, models are expected to be “this fun, interesting, edgy person that fashion people want to be around.”

“But then at the same time you have to be so skinny and so androgynous. There was always people doing better and constantly being compared to people,” she said.

“You know, there’s so many times where you would go into castings or even fittings for jobs that you already supposedly had and somebody in the room would just be annihilating how you look or your lack of personality or you talk too much.

“It’s really tough. I have so much admiration for girls who can come through that unscathed,” she said.

Ms Balfe said that there is an expectation for models to be “cool” in the industry and to not “rock the boat”.

“’Why wouldn’t you take a top off? It’s just t*ts. Come on, like just be cool.’ I can’t tell you how many times that situation happened. I was very lucky,” she remembered.

Focus Features has acquired worldwide rights to Kenneth Branagh-directed feature drama Belfast.

Written and directed by Oscar-nominee Branagh, the semi-autobiographical film charts a boy’s childhood during the tumult of the late 1960s in the Northern Ireland capital.

Cast includes Golden Globe-nominee Caitriona Balfe, Oscar winner Judi Dench, Jamie Dornan, Ciaran Hinds, and newcomer Jude Hill.

Dornan and Balfe play a glamorous working-class couple caught up in the mayhem, with Dench and Hinds as the wry and spry grandparents. The film is produced by Branagh, Laura Berwick, Becca Kovacik and Tamar Thomas.

Focus Features will distribute the film in the U.S. and Universal Pictures International will distribute internationally. Endeavor Content handled sales.

Regular behind-the-camera Branagh collaborators include production designer Jim Clay, director of photography Haris Zambarloukos, hair and make-up artist Wakana Yoshihara, editor Una Ni Dhonghaile, costume designer Charlotte Walker and casting directors Lucy Bevan and Emily Brockman.
