Caitriona Balfe has just landed her next major role in THE HOUSEKEEPER.

Set in a grand historic manor against Cornwall's dramatic landscape, Balfe plays Danni, a housekeeper who falls into a forbidden affair with none other than writer Daphne du Maurier (played by Mackenzi Laird).

While we're counting down to OUTLANDER's final season premiere on Mar 6th, Balfe is already proving she's so much more than Claire Fraser. 🔥

Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor are bringing something truly special to THE HISTORY OF SOUND 🎵✨

The two actors sang, reminisced, and opened up about this intimate musical journey. Recording onto actual wax cylinders gave them a tangible connection to their characters' world—the fragility of the medium mirrors the fragility of memory itself.

They revealed which Beatles song their characters would love and discussed the upcoming Beatles biopics. What emerges most powerfully is the chemistry between them—THE HISTORY OF SOUND is ultimately about how music becomes the language through which we express what words cannot capture 🎬🎶

Fresh from wrapping THE IMMORTAL MAN, Cillian Murphy is teaming up with Daniel Craig and Michelle Williams for Damien Chazelle's mysterious new prison drama—and the buzz is already deafening.
