Starz's "Outlander" has found its Dunsany sisters. Newcomers Hannah James and Tanya Reynolds have been tapped to play Geneva and Isobel Dunsany respectively in the upcoming third season, which is based on the third book in Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" novel series, "Voyager".
Geneva, the eldest daughter of Lord Dunsany, is described as "beautiful as she is headstrong." Yet she's also "petulant, spoiled, and demanding" of the servants at their home, Helwater. Her younger sister Isobel is "warm, friendly, and genuine." She is more likable than her sister and compassionate towards others.
James has starred as Emma Green on PBS' "Mercy Street", while Reynolds has a lead role in feature film "Fanny Lye Deliver'd" starring Maxine Peake and Charles Dance. They join Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan who will return as Claire and Sam respectively.
The show has also cast Cesar Domboy as a grown-up version of Fergus, Wil Johnson as Claire's close friend and medical colleague Joe Abernathy, John Bell as Jamie's nephew Ian Murray, David Berry as Lord John Grey, and Lauren Lyle as Marsali, Laoghaire's (Nell Hudson) "rebellious" daughter.
The third season will focus on Claire's struggle to live without Jamie in 1948 and Jamie's life after the Battle of Culloden without Claire. Production is currently underway for a premiere sometime in 2017.
