British actress Sophie Skelton (“Doctors,” “DCI Banks”) has scored the key fan-favorite role of Brianna in the second season of Starz’ “Outlander” which returns in April.
The character is described as a striking, redheaded young lady and the daughter of lead characters Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan).
Strong-minded and intelligent beyond her years, she has a distinctly scholastic mindset and a healthy dose of Fraser stubbornness.
She joins previously announced Richard Rankin, who will play the adult version of Roger Wakefield whom viewers met as a child in the first season.
