#Breewatch is over. Outlander has finally cast its Brianna.

English actress Sophie Skelton has nabbed the role — the daughter of Claire and Jamie Fraser. (If you’re scratching your head and want to be spoiled, read this.)

“Strong-minded and intelligent beyond her years (traits inherited from both her mother and father), Brianna has a distinctly scholastic mind-set and a healthy dose of Fraser stubbornness,” the announcement reads.

Watch the Season 2 teaser:

Skelton — who’s about to score more Twitter and Instagram followers — made her stage debut at age four. A trained singer and dancer, she’s performed in productions of Fiddler on the Roof, Les Miserables, West Side Story and Mary Poppins. She has also appeared in TV series including Doctors, DCI Banks, Waterloo Road, Foyle’s War, and Casualty — Forsaking All Others. She’ll next be seen as the lead character in Ren, an original fantasy web series about a young woman on a journey to discover the meaning of the mark that’s ostracized her from her small village — a mark that she acquired from an ancient spirit after a stranger encounter in the woods.

Skelton joins fellow new Outlander addition Richard Rankin, who’ll play another fan favorite, Roger Wakefield, the adult version of Reverend Wakefield’s son viewers met previously.
