New article from Entertainment Weekly includes 9 new stills from Men In Kilts 2 and an interview with director Kevin Johnston

From Entertainment Weekly:

Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish are trading kilts for kiwis.

The friends and Outlander stars are hitting the road for Men in Kilts season 2, and EW has an exclusive behind-the-scenes look of their trip through New Zealand — straight from their very own cameras.

The first season of Men in Kilts found the two men exploring the culture and history of their homeland, Scotland, but now they’re going down under. “The combination of Graham now living there and the country having such a rich Scottish history made it the perfect location for the second season,” director Kevin Johnston tells EW of why they chose New Zealand as their new locale.

The four-episode season will take them around the national parks, natural beauty, and cultural landmarks of the country. “We explored a handful of themes over the course of the season, but ultimately we simply wanted to showcase what a breathtaking country New Zealand is, how wonderful the people are and how much fun you can have if you go there,” Johnston adds of the way they structured the season. Season 1 had more distinct episode categories like “Food and Drink,” “Scottish Support,” and “Culture and Tradition.”

A preview of what’s coming up in Season 2 of Men In Kilts from Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish

Outlander‘s Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish are leaving Scotland far behind for a New Zealand edition of their lively buddy travelogue, Men in Kilts: A Roadtrop with Sam and Graham.

Below, they preview what adventures await when the four-episode season arrives on Starz.

We witnessed McTavish’s fear of heights in Season 1 when he tried to abseil down Kilt Rock on the Isle of Skye. Another phobia surfaced in N.Z.: Getting to the top of a glacier here, McTavish says, “allowed me to enjoy one of Sam’s fears — namely, helicopters!” Still, Heughan says their swoop over “majestic” Milford Sound “was worth the ride to experience that view.”

Though Outlander provides battle experience with everything from broadsword to bow and arrow, the duo tried arming themselves as Maori warriors. “The Maori weapons were designed for close-quarters fighting—very similar to Highland fighting in that sense,” McTavish notes. So the choice of kilts was apropos!
