In Season 3, we followed Jamie and Claire on a dramatic sea voyage as they tried to rescue Young Ian. Have you ever wondered just how these scenes were filmed? In real life, the Outlander Artemis was parked in South Africa at the Outlander Cape Town Film Studios! At the time of filming, the country was experiencing a severe drought, making it pretty ironic that all the ocean scenes were shot right there.

Season 5 tackled the bison attack from Diana Gabaldon’s novel, The Fiery Cross. Behind the scenes, this wasn’t an easy one to film, as the actual bison needed to be green screened into the shot. Of course, the production team had a few cool Outlander visual effects up their sleeves. And the same applies to the scene where Roger and Bree got to battle a plague of locusts at Fraser's Ridge! (Outlander special effects) Listen to what executive producer Matthew B. Roberts has to say.

In a Season 3 Outlander snake scene, who was Balfe’s favorite co-star: the snake, Scar, or Sam? Do you remember Colum MacKenzie from the first season?!
