Outlander actress Lauren Lyle sent her fans into overdrive after announcing she is set to star in a new BBC drama alongside Line of Duty star Martin Compston.
Lauren, who plays Marsali Fraser in Outlander, is swapping her petticoat for something a bit more modern for her new role in Scottish based drama Vigil.
And Lauren isn't the only Outlander to star in the new cast, as she will be joined by Gary Lewis, who plays Collum McDougall.
And Outlander fans couldn't wait to see her star in something outside the 18th century show.
One said: "Goosebumps! Rose Leslie and Lauren Lyle & Suranne Jones. Doesn’t get better that this."
Another added: "This looks really interesting and how awesome to see you in this type of role!! Get it girl."
While one penned: "Totally different then Marsali."
And another said: "This looks so good! What a great cast your with. Congratulations."
The series created by the those responsible for Richard Madden's The Bodyguard sees the police battling it out with the Navy and the British security services following the mysterious disappearance of a Scottish fishing trawler.
Suranne Jones, Rose Leslie and Shaun Evans are also amongst the cast sheet.
It also sees them investigating a suspicious death on-board the HMS Vigil.
The drama was directed by Bafta-winner James Strong, and Isabelle Sieb, and features lots of locations in Scotland including Glasgow's Squinty Bridge, Blythswood Square and west end.
And Vigil is not the only thing Lauren will be starring in, as she is set to play Karen Pirie in ITV cold case murder drama, based on author Val McDermid’s novel The Distant Echo.
The new series will be adapted by Emer Kenny and will be produced by World Productions, the makers of Line of Duty and Bodyguard - much like Vigil.
