Now that Outlander has wrapped its final season, the stars of the series are available for other projects and there’s been no shortage of them. Sam Heughan will star as the murderous tyrant in Macbeth, marking his debut with the Royal Shakespeare Company; Caitríona Balfe moves from her 18th century role as Claire Fraser to modern times in the edge-of-your-seat thriller, The Amateur, starring opposite Rami Malek; and today it was announced that Richard Rankin will guest star in Season 2 of The Forsythe Saga.
Rankin, who has played Roger MacKenzie in all eight seasons of Outlander, will move to the early 20th century for his role in The Forsythe Saga, based on John Galsworthy’s Nobel Prize-winning trilogy of novels. No information on Rankin’s role has yet been released.
What we do know is that in the next chapter of The Forsythe Saga, the family dynasty will face a new era of scandal, ambition, and shifting loyalties. As love, legacy and reputation collide, the cracks in the family’s polished façade grow ever deeper.
The Forsythe Saga stars Francesa Annis, Jack Davenport, Tom Durant Prichard, Naomi Frederick, Jamie Flatters, Millie Gibson, Danny Griffin, Stephen Moyer, Eleanor Tomlinson and Susan Hampshire.
Also joining the cast for Season 2 of the series are Sarah Alexander and Niah Ashi.
Season 1 of The Forsythe Saga will appear on Masterpiece on PBS in 2026.
