The droughtlander continues until “Outlander” Season 3 will be finally aired this year in September. However, the show’s main stars Caitriona Balfe, who plays the role of Claire Fraser, and Sam Heughan, who portrays Jamie Fraser, have been continuously teasing what fans could expect on their return. Aside from the two much-loved characters, the author of “Voyager,” which the third chapter is based, Diana Gabaldon is also giving little details about the show. In fact, the 65-year-old novelist recently dropped a major spoiler for the upcoming new chapter.
A depiction of the book on TV
“I do think that season three is going to be remarkably strong,” Diana Gabaldon told RadioTimes. The author revealed that she has already watched the first nine episodes of the show and she described it to be “fabulous.” In fact, its first six episodes are really close to its source. In the novel, there are flashbacks that feature Claire telling her daughter some things. Now, it will be seen on the small screen as people behind the show expanded on this story. However, Diana Gabaldon revealed that the show’s writers made some “tweaks and additions” that will make “Outlander” Season 3 more intriguing. And this includes the book’s biggest mystery.
Does Frank cheat Claire?
According to the author, the book has a long overdue question whether Frank Randall (Tobias Menzies) has been faithful or not to his wife Claire during their marriage. “I’ve always left it ambiguous,” Diana Gabaldon said. She explained that she let the series’ fans to make up their own minds if they like Frank or not.
Hence, in the upcoming “Outlander” Season 3, this question will be finally answered as its writers will reveal if he has been loyal or he has cheated. In the question if the result will be in his favor, she said that the show will definitely treat him fairly.
