“Outlander” Season 3 is expected to show the events of the Battle of Culloden, where many of the Highlanders lost their lives. Those who have read the book “Voyager” by Diana Gabaldon already know what is coming, but the fans hope they don’t get to see one particular death.

[Spoiler alert]

Murtagh Fraser (Duncan Lacroix) promised Jamie (Sam Heughan) that he will die with the latter. While research by Roger Wakefield (Richard Ranin) and Brianna revealed that Jamie is still alive, thing don’t look so good for Murtagh.

Murtagh dies in the Battle of Culloden, along with Black Jack Randall (Tobias Menzies). In the books this story is told from Jamie’s point of view in flashbacks. The young Scotsman has vague recollections of the battle, and he could be suppressing some painful memories from the event.

In just two seasons, the fans have come to love Murtagh. He is a loyal friend, advisor and ally of Jamie. He has been through the tough times with the Frasers and also made the viewers laugh with his dancing routine and his distaste for French outfits.

While in France he offered his help to the plans of the Frasers. When Claire (Caitriona Balfe) was attacked, he took it personally and made good on his promise by delivering the head of the master mind of the attack - Duke of Sandringham (Simon Callow).

Will the fans have to now say goodbye to their beloved character? It should be noted that the writers have changed many things in the TV series, so the British taking Murtagh prisoner instead of killing him is still a remote possibility.

Is Murtagh’s death necessary in “Outlander” Season 3 for the events in the future? The writers are currently figuring it all out as they come up with the scripts and start filming. Fans will have to wait till Droughtlander ends in order to find out if their beloved character lives.
