Happy Monday, Outlander fans and pre-fans, we have bountiful gifts for ye, in the form of new character pictures plus the recent Fan Gathering on video, RIGHT HERE. The premiere is getting closer, I think I can hear bagpipes off in the distance…

For your reference, left to right, top to bottom, we have the lovely Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe), followed by the ruggedly handsome Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), then Dougal MacKenzie (Graham McTavish), Colum MacKenzie (Gary Lewis), Geillis Duncan (Lotte Verbeek), Jonathan Randall (Tobias Menzies), Frank Randall (also Tobias Menzies), then another of the lovely Claire in Jamie’s time, and Claire with Geillis:

If you’d like to get a little taste of what’s to come, and what the book-based fandom is like, or if you’re one of them, definitely check out the 90-minute video of the Fan Gathering that took place recently in Los Angeles, featuring the stars, the author, bagpipes, and more. It starts with 10 minutes of live bagpipe music that will absolutely get you in the mood:

And because I know you want to see it again, here’s the trailer that premiered last week:

Trailer: Outlander – First Look

The Scottish setting or Ronald D. Moore as executive producer or the time travel element would each be enough to get me to watch; all three means I will be cemented to my couch when the show finally premieres this summer.

Outlander, starring Caitriona Balfe, Sam Heughan, Tobias Menzies, Graham McTavish, Lotte Verbeek, Gary Lewis, Duncan Lacroix, Annette Badland and Stephen Walters premieres Summer 2014 on Starz.
