Men in Kilts Exclusive: Sam Heughan teases co-star Graham McTavish<\/h3>\n

Outlander\u2019s Sam Heughan has admitted he wasn\u2019t sure the second season of Men In Kilts would ever get made.<\/p>\n

After travelling through Scotland with Dougal Mackenzie star Graham McTavish in the first outing on Starz, the follow-up was severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, it was a real saga and I think it\u2019s amazing that we even made it,\u201d Heughan recalled.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was towards the end of the Covid situation and we\u2019d been talking about where we want to go for the next season and also the book.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heughan and McTavish ultimately decided on New Zealand for season two, but they had an array of options to choose from.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019d talked about Scandinavia, we\u2019d talked about the North of Scotland, the islands, the Highlands. Maybe even Ireland,\u201d he told the Silence on Set podcast.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut New Zealand was the place. It had no Covid and was relatively open at the time. So, we planned on that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, despite New Zealand seeming like the ideal location for the follow-up series, getting there wasn\u2019t going to be easy.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, of course, all good plans go awry,\u201d he went on. \u201cI got Covid, I had an injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen there was a lottery system to get into the country. We couldn\u2019t get in, I couldn\u2019t get a ticket. Eventually, I did and I had to go into quarantine when I was there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their adventures were eventually released on Starz in August 2023, and are also available in book form, titled Clanlands in New Zealand: Kilts, Kiwis and an Adventure Down Under.<\/p>\n

Heughan gave a shout-out to Starz and the book\u2019s publisher, (Octopus Publishing Group) and credited their \u201cdetermination\u201d for getting them through the challenging production.<\/p>\n

Still, even while plans were being finalised for season two, it was never a guarantee that the shoot would be a success.<\/p>\n
