Outlander fans have been clamoring for any information on the upcoming Season 5. The drama about a time-traveling World Word II nurse has captivated readers for over 20 years. The hit show is based on a book series by Diana Gabaldon, who is currently writing book 9 of the series for a late 2019 release.

Caitriona Balfe plays the iconic role of Claire Frasier. In a recent interview, she opened up topics such as her adorable new co-star and what fans can expect from Season 5.

Outlander’s Newest Cast Member a Tiny Handful

Adso the cat first makes an appearance in book five, The Fiery Cross. Jamie Frasier (Sam Heughan) finds the kitten on the road during his travels. He decides to surprise his wife, Claire, with the grey “wee cheetie.” He hopes the cat will take care of the mice in their newly built home.

In May, fans were delighted when they were introduced to the kitten who plays Ardo in Season 5.

However, Caitriona revealed that the kitten sometimes disrupts the work on set. She says,

“It does create a lot of distractions because we all just want to play with the cat instead of doing any work.”
