In the world of television, reshoots are not uncommon, but when it happens on a show as beloved as Outlander, fans are sure to take notice. Recently, it came to light that Sam Heughan and Sophie Skelton, who portray the iconic characters Jamie and Brianna Fraser, had to go back and re-shoot a pivotal scene from Season 4. The reason? A combination of unpredictable weather and the show's commitment to delivering perfection.

The scene in question was a deeply emotional exchange between Jamie and Brianna, where Brianna reveals to her father the harrowing experience of her assault by Stephen Bonnet. Originally shot with Heughan's part completed under clear skies, things took a dramatic turn when it was time to film Skelton's portion. The weather deteriorated rapidly, with sleet and hail disrupting the shoot.
