Actor Warned About Reading Outlander Books in Public

In July 2025, actor Rory Alexander revealed that he received a stern warning from his agent about reading the Outlander books while on public transportation. The agent cautioned Alexander that "people know that something's in the pipeline, and if the people see you reading Outlander on the tube, someone might put two and two together."

However, Alexander wasn't too concerned about his reading habits, stating that "there's plenty of guys with long curly hair who read Outlander that don't all happen to be in the prequel." Prior to landing his role, Alexander had not read the Outlander book series, but he quickly became a fan, getting through the novels "pretty quickly."

The Outlander TV series, which has run for seven seasons, is set to conclude with an eighth and final season based on the ninth book in Diana Gabaldon's book franchise, "Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone." Meanwhile, the prequel series "Outlander: Blood of My Blood" has been renewed for a second season, just six weeks after its debut. The prequel explores the lives and relationships of the parents of the main Outlander characters, Claire and Jamie.

As the Outlander saga nears its conclusion, fans eagerly await the final chapter in the epic love story that has captivated audiences worldwide for nearly a decade.
