In other news, star Caitriona Balfe has previewed this season's villain. "Quite quickly, we meet Comte St. Germain (Stanley Weber) who, again, Claire gets herself into trouble by speaking before she thinks," Balfe tells E! News. "He's a very dark character and possibly much more dangerous than we first see."

He's not the only villain that Claire and Jamie (Sam Heughan) will encounter this season as Balfe adds, "And then there may be some people who we've met before who may be around, so we'll see."
