Outlander's Lauren Lyle sends fans into meltdown as she confirms 'filming in Scotland'

Sam Heughan reveals the souvenir he'll take from Outlander set

As fans eagerly await the second half of Outlander’s seventh season, many were thrilled to learn Marsali Fraser star Lauren Lyle was in Scotland “filming.”

Although she’s unlikely to appear in the highly anticipated remaining few episodes, it was confirmed Lyle would reprise her role for the eighth and final season.

In a special behind-the-scenes clip posted on the show’s official Instagram account Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan could be seen dressed in character and dropping major hints.

They teased that fans could look forward to seeing a “new cast and new set” before Balfe interjected: “Do you know what else we have? Some old cast.”

The actress then panned the camera behind her to show Lyle and her onscreen husband César Domboy in character and playing clapping games.

A third fan @ardilesfabiola added: “Outlander season 8!!?? I'm happy and sad at the same time … Thank you for all these years with Outlander and for being Marsali.”

While others questioned if Lyle was returning for her ITV crime drama, including @marzipanknits2 who asked: “Are you filming Season 2 of Karen Pirie?”

@kjclarkca echoed: “I thought for a second you were going to look to your left and suddenly the words ‘Karen Pirie’ were going to appear.”
