‘Outlander’ Season 3 Has 2 New Major Characters; Gary Young, Charlie Hiett Join Cast
Starz is now gradually completing the return of "Outlander" Season 3 as it recently added two stars to play major characters. Gary Young and Charlie Hiett are about to join Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan in the upcoming third run of the much favorite television series.
Gary Young is set to play the role of Mr. Willoughby in the upcoming "Outlander" Season 3. Mr. Willoughby is a Chinese man who knows everything when it comes to Eastern medicine. Although he is an Asian, he can speak English very well but tries to hide when the situation asks him to.
Mr. Willoughby, too, is a brilliant poet, a woman lover and more of an outcast in the 18th century Scotland compared to Claire (Caitriona Balfe). However, even though he is an exile, the role of Gary Young will be Jamie's (Sam Heughan) great confidante in "Outlander" Season 3, according to E! News.
Charlie Hiett, on the other hand, will be playing Captain Thomas Leonard, a third lieutenant who never thought he could be captain of a warship in "Outlander" Season 3. He is an inexperienced captain of the Artemis who plays it strictly by the book. This is because he got quickly promoted when his commanding officer died unexpectedly. In spite of that, he sincerely does his job and does everything that is right according to the British Navy, but it is taking its toll on him.
Meanwhile, The Wrap noted that "Outlander" Season 3 will be based on the third book, "Voyager," of Diana Gabaldon's novel series with the same title. It is set to continue Claire's journey through the stones back to her life in the 1940s. Fans will see her pregnant and struggles on her return in the past while managing the effects of it on her then husband Frank (Tobias Menzies).
Alternatively, Jamie will be staying in the 1700s era and will be seeing taking the consequences of the Battle of Culloden's repercussion. He, too, will be seen wasted for thinking Claire's loss. Separated by many occurrences, the two have to find a way to see each other again. "Outlander" Season 3 is expected to be out this 2017.
