Outlander fans have been discussing what could be a huge change to William Ransom (played by Charles Vandervaart), the secret biological son of Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan). Set photos from the upcoming eighth season have recently leaked online, showcasing a dramatic transformation for Jamie and Claire Fraser (Caitriona Balfe) as they enter their golden years.
However, one fan was rather surprised when they discovered a similar change seems to have been made to William, perhaps to make him look more like his father as their relationship strengthens towards the final episode. "I just saw photos of the actors filming season 8. William's hair is very red now!" they posted on Reddit.
"He was so handsome as a brunette like his mother. I am wondering if there is a reason (maybe discussed in the books? ) his hair has turned red in the show? "He still looked like Jamie with the dark hair. The red is just not 'him'.
