Two new official photos from season eight of Outlander have dropped, and both feature characters making their first appearances in the final season.
Captain Charles Cunningham, played by Kieran Bew. Cunningham has filled the void at Fraser’s Ridge since Jamie left. Matthew B Roberts had this to say about the character:
“We always have to have a good villain, and what I love about Cunningham is, in the very typical Outlander way, he’s got so many levels to him that he doesn’t always feel like a villain,” showrunner Matthew B. Roberts says of Kieran Bew‘s retired British soldier (above). “Just like Geillis Duncan, or Tom Christie, or Stephen Bonnet, they feel horribly icky one moment, and then in another moment, you feel like they just need a hug and they would be a better person. That’s Cunningham.”
Elspeth Cunningham, played by Frances Tomelty, is Captain Cunningham’s mother. It sounds like not everyone is a fan of Elspeth, and she will be hanging out with Claire a lot.
