Outlander's Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish tease New Zealand adventure for Men in Kilts second season

Outlander stars Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish delighted fans by sharing some sneak peeks as they film Men in Kilts in New Zealand.

Graham, 61, grew up in Glasgow and Sam, 41, grew up in Dumfries and the first season of Men in Kilts saw the pair explore their native Scotland.

The Scots acting duo have already been spotted out and about filming in New Zealand as they grabbed a meal at an Invercargill food truck, Stellar Kai, which posted a photo to social media of the Outlander stars.

Sam took to Twitter, writing: "We made it!! The “Men in Kilts” are down under!- So lucky to be exploring this incredible island with its unique heritage. I can’t wait to share this epic journey with you. Let the adventures begin!!"

Fans buzzed in the replies to Sam, delighted to see their favourite duo back together.

One wrote: "There you are Peaking in the mountains of #NewZealand! We can’t wait to see #MenInKiltsS2 from NZ! Thanks for sending the most beautiful pictures! Enjoy, behave and be safe you ‘Kilted Legends’"

"What a view!! Have lots of fun, enjoy, and whatever you get up to, I'm sure you're going to make me smile, can't wait to see all your adventures," said another.

A third buzzed: "Looking forward to watching your journey together in NZ. I hope @grahammctavish isn’t put through too many scary challenges"

"K, so, I'm gonna need someone do some LOTR/Hobbit quotes (looking at you @grahammctavish aka Dwalin)," another fan wrote.

Another wrote: "Awesome, and in kilts, just as it should be! Can’t wait to see your adventures and listen to your bickering. Take good care of @grahammctavish !!!"

As reported in the NZ Herald, a source has confirmed Heughan, McTavish and the film crew stayed at the Kelvin Hotel while filming in Invercargill, but left the city and were thought to be heading to Otago to check more Scottish links.

Speaking with TV Insider while promoting the first season, McTavish shared some of the locales they were discussing for the second season.

“There’s plenty more to do in Scotland,” McTavish said. “We’ve barely scratched the surface to be honest. But yeah, other parts of the world. Sam was mentioning India, which I knew had a Scottish connection, but I didn’t realize quite as much. America, obviously. Canada. New Zealand.”

Graham, who originally grew up in Glasgow, moved over to New Zealand with his wife and children in 2011 and has lived there since.

In the Men in Kilts Season 2 announcement, McTavish called the country “a place that I love dearly".

There's no word on when the series will be released, but as they are currently filming now it could be expected in late 2022 or early 2023.
