There’s more than one scene but initial scenes took a few days #AskMaril https://t.co/Xfo8wceOSc

If all goes well between all parts, would Sam and Cait play Jamie and Claire all through the last book?
— bianca portela (@bibiportela) October 20, 2017
I would assume they’d want to, but that’s not totally up to us? #AskMaril https://t.co/A489axHR6R

What is your favorite episode or moment? #ThanxforOutlander

What has been your favorite shooting location in season 3? #AskMaril
— Fotini (@23ophelia) October 20, 2017
That’s a tough one. Loved the Boston apt (bravo @jongarysteele ) and loved a couple locations in ep. 313 from SA #AskMaril https://t.co/5jEL812olY
— Maril Davis (@TallShipProds) October 20, 2017
What's your favorite line from the first 5 episodes of season 3? #AskMaril
— Fotini (@23ophelia) October 20, 2017
I’ve already answered this one but it was Claire’s line from 303 “That amount of time doesn’t exist” heartbreaking #AskMaril https://t.co/4IRbN2Z3O0
— Maril Davis (@TallShipProds) October 20, 2017
No one likes night shoots. Like I imagine people feel about night shifts! But some things can’t be faked! #AskMaril https://t.co/BkdVJG5XPh

How many times did @SamHeughan fall to the floor in a faint before it became the perfect shot? #AskMaril pic.twitter.com/5ycggw8XvX
— Elizabeth Smith (@Dumspirospero67) October 20, 2017
Honestly, I did worry how this would play but I’ll admit @SamHeughan nailed it from the get go. #AskMaril https://t.co/zgmWauQmWX
— Maril Davis (@TallShipProds) October 20, 2017
will we see more of Roger and Bree this season? #AskMaril @TallShipProds

Sorry everyone! Misread the question. I was talking about S4! #askmaril https://t.co/lpdtnpakOZ

@TallShipProds Anything from the books you wish had made it to the screen but didn't? #AskMaril

I’m still very bummed that we couldn’t get the initials carving in there #AskMaril https://t.co/roPGa1xpUk

@TallShipProds Love Season 3, thank you to all for a beautiful series. Who do you miss most from Season 3 filming? #AskMaril
— Karen Combs (@Karen_Combs) October 20, 2017
We miss everyone who leaves us. Obviously @TobiasMenzies was a loss. Who will @caitrionambalfe & I beat in tennis now? #askmaril https://t.co/MndBspFZWr
— Maril Davis (@TallShipProds) October 20, 2017
When you were casting the show back in season 1, did you prepare for it to be actors who would have a 20 years range? #AskMaril
— Nanna S. Carlsen (@DogPawDK) October 20, 2017
We certainly thought about it but in the first season you have no idea if you will get additional seasons #askmaril https://t.co/KslW7HC7ok
— Maril Davis (@TallShipProds) October 20, 2017
What's your favorite music moment on the show? #askMaril
— Fotini (@23ophelia) October 20, 2017
I really enjoyed the end of ep. 304. Shout out to #ToniGraphia for picking that song/moment #askmaril https://t.co/Mi4L0XN7wM
— Maril Davis (@TallShipProds) October 20, 2017

@TallShipProds How has the success of Outlander changed or impacted your life?#AskMarill

It hasn’t changed that much except I travel a lot more! 🙂 #AskMaril https://t.co/ITdpqaiLva

Hello Will you stay in scotland for the season 4 or will you film in another country ? #AskMaril
— beatrice ranvier (@BeatriceRanvier) October 20, 2017
We are staying in Scotland for the bulk of S4 #AskMaril https://t.co/0OJWocQ7Rb
— Maril Davis (@TallShipProds) October 20, 2017

#AskMaril @TallShipProds how many hours a day and how many days does it take to film a season?
— Marcie (@Medusa55) October 20, 2017
We shoot ten hour days (plus an hour for lunch) couldn’t tell you the number of days (In bad at math) but we Film for 9-10 months #AskMaril https://t.co/UF04jXsnWZ
— Maril Davis (@TallShipProds) October 20, 2017
@TallShipProds if youre shooting S4 In Scotland, how will you make it look like the USA? the UK weather is perpetually grey! Noticed that
— Amy Corcoran (@AmyEllie_) October 20, 2017
We won’t be able to capture the North Carolina weather. Just not possible. #AskMaril https://t.co/zRAnljJvLW
— Maril Davis (@TallShipProds) October 20, 2017
@TallShipProds Have all the scripts been written for S4? #AskMaril @Outlander_STARZ
— Theresa Williams (@Momt14Theresa) October 20, 2017
No. We’re about half way through #AskMaril https://t.co/8W9vjmJeBl
— Maril Davis (@TallShipProds) October 20, 2017
@TallShipProds S3 in casting was brilliant. I loved seeing Jamie be a dad. Were there any parts harder to cast than others? #AskMaril pic.twitter.com/q0kuL4GqSY
— Elizabeth Smith (@Dumspirospero67) October 20, 2017
All of the key parts are hard to cast. We all have a vision in our mind of what these characters look like #AskMaril https://t.co/BcAW1hdOJX
— Maril Davis (@TallShipProds) October 20, 2017
https://twitter.com/gali1963/status/921460519013412864
We obviously love the character and actor and felt his journey wasn’t over. #Askmaril https://t.co/Wz81kYQ3SW
— Maril Davis (@TallShipProds) October 20, 2017
@TallShipProds @Outlander_STARZ I know you’d love to write an episode of Outlander but would you be interested in Directing too? #AskMaril
— RoMan (@romantwin22) October 20, 2017
No. Directing is tough! I leave that to the professionals! #AskMaril https://t.co/4wliKiIjic
— Maril Davis (@TallShipProds) October 20, 2017
@TallShipProds how long does it take to film 1 episode? #AskMaril
— Jonna Bickford (@maddyash2) October 20, 2017
We shoot 12 Days per episode. And often we have a couple days of 2nd unit filming #AskMaril https://t.co/ri63gmztWx
— Maril Davis (@TallShipProds) October 20, 2017
Do you prefer shooting on a set or on location? #AskMaril
— Fotini (@23ophelia) October 20, 2017
Personally i prefer being on set. Much warmer!! And I can run up to my office between scenes #AskMaril https://t.co/9EldyZYYfh
— Maril Davis (@TallShipProds) October 20, 2017
@TallShipProds I know this may be a spoiler, but why does Fergus have a wooden hand and not a hook as well? #AskMaril
— Felice Croul (@fcadesign) October 20, 2017
The research we did said he would have had a wooden hand and not a hook. Plus, it’s hard to hide a hand in a hook prosthetic! #Askmaril https://t.co/6vwTlpo5GQ
— Maril Davis (@TallShipProds) October 20, 2017
Sorry. I meant to say “could” have had a wooden hand instead of a hook https://t.co/6vwTlpo5GQ

#AskMaril I got introduced to the show thanks to @SkeltonSophie's casting, how it's like to work with her? Love how she's developing Bree.

@TallShipProds Would you say Claire & Jamie are still the focus of the story in season 4? #AskMaril
— BobbieAN (@Batelevenseven) October 20, 2017
Claire and Jamie are always the focus. It’s their story #AskMaril https://t.co/iUnWCU2Awn
— Maril Davis (@TallShipProds) October 20, 2017
https://twitter.com/donna1120/status/921463615324114946
No. We are still filming our first block #AskMaril https://t.co/p3krXhsDDZ
— Maril Davis (@TallShipProds) October 20, 2017
@TallShipProds Did you have two full crews shooting at the same time for S3 doing the separate stories for Claire & Jaime? #AskMaril
— Judy Schultz (@littlejudyblue) October 20, 2017
No. Although sometimes we have a 2nd unit running #AskMaril https://t.co/7S3tIQahIV
— Maril Davis (@TallShipProds) October 20, 2017
@TallShipProds What does a 2nd filming unit do? I’ve heard the term but idk what that means #AskMaril
— Laura Palese (@lmpalese) October 20, 2017
It’s a smaller filming unit that grabs pieces (or scenes) that we weren’t able to get during the main shooting days #askmaril https://t.co/dCpeFIjfeU
— Maril Davis (@TallShipProds) October 20, 2017
@TallShipProds Would you ever think of using @SamHeughan doing double duty to play older Jamie and older Willie? #AskMaril
— Crystal D. Fann (@MollyMay410) October 20, 2017
Honestly? No. #AskMaril https://t.co/EKFWJ2gB15
