Tv viewers who love romantic exhibits and interval dramas have been deep within the newest Droughtlander for almost a full 12 months now, with Outlander Season 7 not set to premiere till mid-June. Although we nonetheless have one other season to look ahead to after that, Season 8 would be the time-traveling romance’s final, so followers are possible questioning what else will probably be on faucet for the present’s many stars. Effectively, Sam Heughan has simply landed his subsequent TV present, and from the outline it feels like Jamie wouldn’t approve of his new character in any respect.
What New Present Has Outlander’s Sam Heughan Signed On To?
It would please Outlander followers to know that Heughan (who has the upcoming book-to-screen adaptation, Love Once more, coming to theaters in Might) has caught with Starz for what’s going to now be his third collection on the premium cabler. The community introduced that his new present “is a deliciously darkish, psychological drama” titled The Couple Subsequent Door.
Heughan (who many assume was born to play Jamie Fraser) will star as an “alpha visitors cop” named Danny, who’s married to Becka (Jessica De Gouw, Pennyworth), an alluring yoga trainer, however quickly finds himself sharing a heated night time of ardour together with his new neighbor Evie (Eleanor Tomlinson, Poldark). Evie has some issues of her personal, as she’s described as “stunning however troubled,” and a few of these points may come from the truth that she’s additionally married, and he or she and her husband, Pete (Alfred Enoch, Tips on how to Get Away with Homicide) have simply moved into this fancy neighborhood and felt a bit misplaced till making associates with Danny and Becka.
The thriller is predicated on the Dutch collection, New Neighbours, and the channel additionally revealed that it’s already begun filming on the six-episode season. We don’t know when the present will probably be prepared for launch, however I gotta say, this Danny dude sounds about as removed from Jamie as Heughan might get.
Are you able to ever think about our Jamie outright dishonest on Claire? I imply, positive, he dallied a bit after the Battle of Culloden, however he’d already despatched pregnant Claire again to the long run, and he or she spent a complete 20 years there with Frank. She was sad, however how was Jamie speculated to know that, or that she was slowly dying inside not having the ability to be with him? Apart from, all that point aside didn’t actually imply a lot, as as soon as they reunited (which is top-of-the-line scenes of the present total) it was firework fuck metropolis in Jamie’s room, resulting in certainly one of Outlander’s sexiest romantic moments.
Plus, you in all probability seen that the essential description of Danny makes him seem to be a less-than-appealing man in plenty of methods. He’s “alpha,” and I believe many people are extremely prone to learn that as “poisonous asshole.” Jamie fights when he has to (and fights nicely), however little or no about him may very well be described as “alpha” in any destructive approach. Add to that the truth that ol’ Danny’s a cop, and I think that he’ll be utilizing a few of his police privileges for issues he actually shouldn’t be (Jamie. Would. NEVER.) as issues turn out to be extra sophisticated for the romantic pairs on the middle of The Couple Subsequent Door.
It’ll be attention-grabbing to see Heughan tackle a job like this, and I guess that lots of his Outlander followers will probably be desperate to tune in.
