With Outlander stars Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish set to return to our screens with Men in Kilts season two, fans are getting excited to see the pair once again.
This time around Sam and Graham will be heading to the other side of the world to New Zealand to explore the Scottish influence on the many facets of this beautiful country.
Speaking about the new series on Twitter, Graham, wrote: “There will be driving, joy, shock, surprises, landscapes, history, and a celebration of all things Kiwi."
So far, there is no set release date for the new season of Men in Kilts but since filming wrapped in February it is likely we could see it by the end of summer.
To celebrate this amazing show, we thought we'd take a look at some of the things you might not know.
Graham McTavish actually lives in New Zealand
Graham, who was born in Glasgow, has lived in New Zealand since 2011 and has filmed movies such as The Hobbit there.
He has also previously filmed travel shows in his adopted country such as an episode for iFit’s New Zealand Trekking Series.
Men in Kilts, and the book Clanlands, were originally going to be a podcast
While filming Outlander where Sam plays Jamie Fraser and Graham Dougal MacKenzie, the pair hit upon the idea of creating a podcast together.
Well, both originally liked the idea of a TV show about Scotland's history and clans but the podcast seemed more likely to work.
However, the Clan Lands podcast was not to be and instead they went with the TV show idea instead – Clanlands went on to become the name of the book which details their adventures on the show.
The entire first season was just Sam's attempts to pull Graham out of his comfort zone
Sam even joked that lowering Graham off a cliff was probably his favourite
