The launch party for Andrew Gower‘s aka Gustaffson‘s first EP is happening at The Jacaranda Club in Liverpool right now and you can watch it on YouTube!
ETA (25 August 2022):
In case you missed the live video, you can now watch some of the interviews below. Enjoy!
Andrew Gower was a guest at The Final Word by Toffee TV, a fan channel for English football team Everton.
You can watch the full interview on their YouTube channel and below.
Andrew Gower, a true “Toffee” (aka Everton fan), has previously been interviewed by ToffeeTV and the BlueRoom podcast, both devoted Everton fan channels. Both interviews are still available via the links below:
Andrew Gower made a #BonnieComeback in Season 6 of Outlander in the iconic role of the “Bonnie Prince” Charles Edward Stuart who in 1746 fled government troups under the disguise of Betty Burke, an Irish maid.
In a recent interview with the Daily Express, Andrew Gower now opened up about the challenges of wearing a corset:
“The pain of the corset is real! I’ve been in so many period dramas where I’ve been like, ‘Oh, why is my co-star not having any tea or having any dinner or lunch? Or why are they a bit late onto set or whatever?’ Now I know exactly why that is.”

Gower went on to say how the costume department “laced me up”, so he would get the full corset experience. He also admitted: “Sitting was interesting.”
He further added jokingly:
I don’t know whether my mum was proud or embarrassed.

We’d say proud, always proud, as every mum would be! 😉

After months of waiting for updates on the release of the much anticipated season 2 of Carnival Row, we now might have been given an indication on when fans can expect to see the new episodes.
On 20 December 2021 Legendary Comics announced Tales of Carnival Row, an official graphic novel expanding the universe. The publishing date was given as 26 July 2022, just two days after San Diego Comic Con, which seems to suggest that there were plans to present the comics and re-introduce fans to the world of Carnival Row at the convention.
San Diego Comic Con, which was named the “largest convention of its kind in the world” by Forbes magazine, was also the host of the “Carnival Row Experience” in 2019, only a month before its season 1 premiere.
Unfortunately it seems plans were changed and rumours that Carnival Row would return to San Diego this year turned out to be untrue.
In June 2022 a Reddit user discovered that the release date for the “physical” graphic novel was postponed to 17 January 2023.
On 17 July 2022 Legendary Comics finally announced a Kickstarter campaign to fund the graphic novel. The campaign runs until 18 August 2022. It has already reached its target goal and backers will receive their perks in November 2022.
The graphic novel is also available to pre-order on Amazon Prime (click the link or search Amazon in your own country) and will now be published (in digital and physical form) on 17 January 2023.
In 2019, the release of Season 1 on 30 August was accompanied by the publication of two prequel comics and a prequel audio book featuring the series’ main characters Vignette Stonemoss (Cara Delevingne) and Rycroft Philostrate (Orlando Bloom) as well as fan favourite Tourmaline Larou (Karla Crome) respectively.
If this is again the case this time, fans can probably expect the new episodes to drop in early 2023.
Overall, the fact that there will be a graphic novel based on the show seems to indicate that the producers are still invested in the show and are using the Kickstarter campaign to get the ball rolling again after this long hiatus, which was largely caused by the pandemic.
Carnival Row is also a very intricate series which relies heavily on CGI and takes a lot longer in post-production than other shows. Season 1 took 17 months in post-production, only slightly delayed by a reshoot nine months into the process. Season 2 wrapped filming in September 2021 and we can expect a similar time of post-production for it, which brings us roughly to February 2023.
Andrew Gower, who’s reprising his role as Ezra Spurnrose, was also quoted in a recent article:
Gower returns to his role as Ezra Spurnrose in season two of Carnival Row on Amazon Prime Video, predicting it would be out at some point in 2023.
He teased the story “gets absolutely crazier” and said his character has “one of the darkest journeys” that he had been on “for a while”.

Variety reported exclusively on 25 February 2022 that an Outlander prequel series is in development at Starz. Exact plot details are so far kept under wraps and open for speculation.
Fans of the show have been hoping for a spin-off centered around popular character Lord John Grey (played by Australian actor David Berry). When the audience meets (John) William Grey for the first time during the Jacobite Rising of 1745 (Season 2), he is only 15 years old and played by young English actor Oscar Kennedy. This seems to rule out his story for a prequel series although there is plenty of source material in the form of Diana Gabaldon’s LJG novellas and short stories.
In 2013, Gabaldon also published the novella Virgins with a young Jamie Fraser and best friend Ian Murray (aged 19 and 20 respectively) serving as mercenaries in 1740’s France. Given the popularity of both characters, this certainly seems like an option, even though actors Sam Heughan and Steven Cree (both born in 1980) might not be able to reprise their roles for this potential prequel.
Still a work in progress is a novel about Jamie Fraser’s parents, Ellen MacKenzie and Brian Fraser. Their wild love story would be set in early 18th century Scotland and could touch on the First Jacobite Rising of 1715. This sounds like the most plausible choice as it would feature a lot of the elements that made Outlander such a hit in the first place.
After the recent #BonnieComeback, the Daily Express also talked exclusively with Andrew Gower about the possibility of a prequel series focusing on a young Bonnie Prince Charlie.
Would I be interested in a Bonnie Prince Charlie prequel? I mean, I went back for season six, so I would work with those guys. I would work with that team at the drop of a hat. They’re an amazing team.
The interesting thing about Bonnie Prince Charlie – maybe I’m getting too old to play him – who knows? To play him at the beginning… but ultimately his life story is fascinating.
If they don’t do a story about him then I’m pretty sure there will be another film or something soon. Because I had such fun playing him and so many different ways I could have played him and so many different parts of his life you can look at.

The interview concludes with our favourite bit of information:
Whether a Bonnie Prince Charlie prequel series is also on the cards remains to be seen, but Gower is now busy with a whole host of other projects.
