Sophie Skelton Instagram – The opportunity for a character’s story to unfold over several years is a rarity — one that many actors spend their entire careers dreaming about. For @Sophie.Skelton, there has been a particular coming of age alongside her role as Outlander’s Brianna Fraser, with her own twenties unfolding in parallel with the character she came to know intimately for over a decade.
Introduced in the series’ second season, Skelton’s time on the show demanded a remarkable range from the actress, navigating complex themes including PTSD and sexual violence, all layered against the time-travelling premise that defines the historical drama. The decision to leave university and commit fully to the role was one she made without hesitation; little did she know quite what that journey would become.
Now, Outlander is coming to an end for good in season eight. Sitting down with 1883 to mark the final season, she reflects on life beyond Outlander, the personal ambitions that have taken shape over the past decade, and what it means to finally step forward without the weight of a defining role.
