Outlander season 4 filming: Rollo re-enters the picture
Over the past week or so, fans have managed to get the latest glimpse of Young Ian’s beloved dog on the show’s set, and it’s certainly a far cry from the photos of the two as puppets that Starz released in the spring of last year. They were the first “new characters” cast for season 4, largely because it took time in order to properly train the dogs to be perfect for the show. They’ve since been seen on the set a number of times here and there, but over the course of the past week they’ve been featured a little bit more intimately than at any other point in production.
It almost goes without saying as to why Rollo will be one of the most-popular new additions to season 4: Viewers love dogs, and it expands the world in an interesting way to what we have seen so far. Rollo brings about an evolution to Young Ian, as well, and we are very excited to see this character’s journey continue after experiencing the sort of trauma that he did over season 3. How he bounces back from the Geillis Duncan crisis will say a great deal about the man he is set to become.
One last random thought we have on the subject is this: In between the dog here and also the character on Vikings, who would’ve ever thought that the name Rollo would be so popular in 2018? We have a feeling that there are going to be many dogs named after Rollo come later this year when the series premieres. (There are probably many out there already thanks to the books.)
Other filming odds & ends
We reported yesterday about Outlander production into some fairly snowy territory, and since that time we know that there have been a couple of notable characters presumably spotted. This is one of those occasions, though, where it feels too much like a spoiler to share. (There is some stuff scattered online elsewhere if you are incredibly curious.) Let’s just say that Outlander is working on exciting stuff! Just know that filming is still going strong, even if there aren’t as many details shared here.
