Season four sees Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) navigating the trials and tribulations of life in Colonial America.

The team behind the show felt that it was important to be sensitive to the historical context and be as authentic as possible when telling the story.

“Every department, from Production design to costume and hair and make-up does a huge amount of research to ensure we create a world that feels authentic to the time and place,” Outlander’s Executive Producer Matthew B Roberts said.

“To build our Native American world, they have learned traditional techniques, from canoe building to hand weaving and, to populate that world, we have welcomed a great team from Canada to play both the speaking and supporting roles of the Cherokee and Mohawk Nations in Outlander season four."

The North Carolina scenes are actually being filmed in Scotland, which was surprisingly well suited to double for the US location.
