In a recent interview with Deepest Dream, Sophie Skelton discussed her upcoming movie 211. She also spoke about how Outlander changed her life.

Sophie is right about people that read the “Outlander” book series 20 times over – I am one of them. Absolute gems every “Outlander” book. Looking forward to watching Sophie in Drums of Autumn where she has a more active role.
