The first Outlander Season 5 table read took place earlier this week. Duncan Lacroix shared a photo of his name, hinting Murtagh will be in the premiere.

Want to know as much as possible about Outlander Season 5 before it airs? STARZ is being extremely quiet, but the cast has shared photos of the first table read earlier this week. One of those photos came from Duncan Lacroix and gives us a hint about Episode 1.

The table read would have been of the very first episode. Most of Outlander is filmed in episode order until many other shows out there. With Lacroix part of the table read, it hints that Murtagh is going to be part of the premiere.

What’s intriguing is that his name place says “3. Murtagh.” What does this number three mean? Could it be that he’s third billed in the premiere? That wouldn’t make sense since Sophie Skelton and Richard Rankin would likely be third or fourth billed due to the importance of Brianna and Roger.

However, Murtagh is the only character other than Claire and Jamie to have been part of the show from the very beginning. This could push him up in the billing order.

It’s just a shame that his name has been spelled incorrectly on the paper. Many fans have pointed out that there’s no space between “la” and “croix.”

What’s fun is that Lacroix gets to share some photos this year. Last season, he had to go on a social media blackout because the show wanted to keep Murtagh’s part in the series a secret. We had no idea when he was going to show up — or if that was even going to happen. Sure, we hoped because Murtagh had been saved after Culloden but it really depended on whether the writers had found a way to add him in fully.

Diana Gabaldon had made a suggestion and the writers ran with it. Now we get to see tensions rise in Outlander Season 5, as Jamie and Murtagh find themselves on opposite sides of a brewing war.
