Starz and Sony Television have finally found their Claire.
Caitriona Balfe will assume the much-coveted role as the women who travels through time in “Outlander,” an epic story of romance based on the novels by Diana Gabaldon.
“Hard to believe lightning can strike twice, but it surely did,” Gabaldon said in a statement. “The moment Caitriona Balfe came on screen, I sat up straight and said, ‘There she is!’ She and Sam Heughan absolutely lit up the screen with fireworks.”
