Outlander Season 3: The Voyager Continues
Kicking off the year, Sam returned as our beloved Highlander in Outlander Season 3. Based on Voyager, the third book in Diana Gabaldon's best-selling series, the season saw Jamie and Claire navigate the treacherous waters of the 18th century Caribbean. Sam's portrayal of Jamie's growth, resilience, and unwavering love for Claire had us in our feels – and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Did you know? Sam and his on-screen wife, Caitriona Balfe (Claire), spent hours rehearsing their intense and emotional scenes together to ensure they captured the essence of Jamie and Claire's love story.
Sam Heughan's My Peak Challenge
In 2018, Sam's charity initiative, My Peak Challenge (MPC), entered its fourth year. MPC encourages people to challenge themselves, both physically and mentally, while raising funds for charitable causes. In 2018, Sam and the MPC community raised an astonishing $1.5 million for blood cancer research and other worthy causes.
Sam's personal challenge in 2018 involved completing the grueling Marathon des Sables – a six-day, 251km (156-mile) race across the Sahara Desert. Sam finished the race, raising awareness and funds for MPC's chosen charities along the way.

In 2018, fans were treated to Sam's dulcet tones narrating Outlander: The Official Companion – an audiobook that delves into the making of the TV series. Sam's warm, Scottish brogue guided listeners through interviews with cast and crew, revealing behind-the-scenes secrets and insights into the world of Outlander.
Here's a fun fact... Sam recorded the audiobook in a tiny booth in his home, with his dog, Waffle, keeping him company.
