Our favorite Outlander executive producer with the “Claire hair” Maril Davis (@TallShipProds) recently announced she’d be answering fan questions Sunday morning on Twitter regarding season three. Sounds like everyone is enjoying the South African climate, but not so much the wind and cramped shoot conditions on the boats. Also, some familiar friends chimed in. Thanks Maril, for 1.5 hour session with fans!
Everyone ready?! For the Q and A lets use #AskMaril @Outlander_STARZ
