Outlander Showrunner Maril Davis has taken to Twitter to reveal a line she overheard during the filming of the upcoming season 7. The executive producer regularly drops the hints online under the #HeardOnSet hashtags.
However, this particular line has had fans guessing who it could be referring to. The show is currently filming across different locations in Scotland as it prepares for what will be a bumper new season, with no less than 16 new episodes to be put together and a raft of new characters to introduce including the now adult version of Jamie's secret son William Ransom and a pair of siblings known as the Hunters.
As an executive producer for the show, Maril is often on set and tweets regularly from her Twitter account (@TallShipProds) with one of her favourite topics being her 'Heard on Set' posts.
Posting on Thursday (August 25), she wrote: "I have been terribly remiss in my #HeardOnSet posts! Here’s one from Tuesday: 'I’m afraid thee has missed him. He left a few hours ago'
"Who could this be?"
And while book fans may have a better idea – this season will be based on novel 7 of the series 'An Echo in the Bone' – show fans were quick to speculate that it could be one of the new characters.
One fan wrote: "Yay! I love when yet more beloved book characters get brought to life on Outlander! May we get to meet as many more as possible."
Another added: "Rachel?! Ahhhh, cannot wait to see her. Thank you for this #HeardOnSet Maril! It’s a great joy whenever you tweet one of these. Please keep em coming. Droughtlander is already suffocating by now."
While the official Outlander account joked: "This is going to be THEE best season."
One fan was just hoping for a little more: "Are you back on set already? Now we need a treat please some bts photos."
