Considering the ongoing writers' and actors' strikes in Hollywood, it seems unlikely that the Jamie Fraser star will actually return to set this year.
Back in June, Sam's co-star, actress Caitriona Balfe, revealed a disappointing update regarding production on season eight. Originally, filming for the new episodes was due to commence in July, however, the ongoing writers' strike in Hollywood has resulted in a delay.

"That's obviously a big thing that's going on at the moment stateside and that may change things. But you know, it's too early to start speculating about that," she told RadioTimes.com.

Reuniting with his former Outlander co-star and close friend, Graham McTavish in the upcoming instalment, this time round the two are heading to New Zealand. Click the video below to watch the trailer...
Ahead of Men in Kilts' season two premiere, Starz has already given fans an idea of what to expect. In an official statement, the streamer said: "Heughan and McTavish will continue their immersive adventure travel experience, this time in New Zealand. They will revel in the Scottish influence of New Zealand while diving into its own history."
Back in June, HELLO! also caught up with Graham McTavish at the season three premiere of Netflix's The Witcher, and he had plenty to say about the return of Men in Kilts.

"I know I brought him to New Zealand. I brought him, you know, he came at my invitation and I was interested in the history. [But] I'm trying to talk to him about the Maori culture, all of this sort of thing. And what he wants to do is just throw me off cliffs and torture me. So, yeah, fans will see some naked fear."
