Here's your first look at Outlander star's "tense and claustrophobic" British thriller Row
Outlander star Sophie Skelton's upcoming British thriller Row has received a number of new first-look photos. Described by director Matthew Losasso as "tense and claustrophobic", Row follows the story of a woman who is washed ashore in a shipwreck after attempting to cross the North Atlantic. With her friends and crewmates missing and presumed dead, the survivor must regain her memory of what happened at sea in order to put the pieces together and to prove her innocence. The synopsis reads: "A woman is interrogated after washing ashore in a bloodstained rowing boat. Appearing to be the sole survivor of an attempted North Atlantic crossing, she pieces together repressed memories and faces the terror of what happened out at sea." Joining Skelton on the cast are Humans actor Bella Dayne, Red, White & Royal Blue star Akshay Khanna and Before We Die's Mark Strepan.

The first-look images of the thriller, which was shot on the open sea, show the bedraggled crew of the boat in what appears to be a tense and harrowing fight for survival. On his website, Losasso said of his debut feature: "It is a tense and claustrophobic psychological thriller. Set against the cinematic backdrop of the North Atlantic ocean and the Scottish island of Hoy."

"An immense ocean appears to stretch infinitely in all directions and yet on board the Valiant," Losasso said. "The lack of space fuels paranoia and intense drama. It's a compelling and fabulously ambitious script. "If filming on water wasn't enough of a challenge, throw in a twisty dark plot, complicated techniques to avoid green screen backdrops, a commitment to capture the rugged beauty of ocean landscapes and the constraints of independent filmmaking."

Outlander fans recently received an exciting update after a release date was announced for its highly-anticipated prequel series Blood of My Blood. Set in two different timelines, the show will focus on the parents of Outlander leads Claire Beauchamp (Caitríona Balfe) and Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan). Back in April, Starz announced that the new show will premiere on 8 August in the US. It will debut the following day in the UK on MGM+. Digital Spy's first print magazine is here!

Caitríona Balfe lands first post-Outlander movie role alongside Tom Hiddleston
Caitríona Balfe has landed her first movie role since wrapping production on Outlander. The actor, who will bow out as Claire Fraser in the hit Starz drama's eighth and final season later this year, is teaming up with Tom Hiddleston and Willem Dafoe for a new Apple Original Films feature titled Tenzing. The upcoming movie will chart the life of Sherpa Tenzing Norgay and his summit of Mount Everest in 1953 with Edmund Hillary. According to Deadline, Balfe will play Jill Henderson, a friend of Tenzing who helped organise trips up Mount Everest. It was previously confirmed that Loki star Hiddleston will play Hillary, while Dafoe has been cast as expedition leader Colonel John Hunt. The role of Tenzing himself is yet to be cast. Related: Best film and TV tours for 2025 An official logline for Tenzing reads: "Tibetan-born Tenzing Norgay, alongside New Zealand mountaineer Edmund Hillary, both outsiders on a British Expedition, defied insurmountable odds to achieve what was once thought impossible, reaching the summit of the world's tallest mountain, Mount Everest. "After six previous attempts, Tenzing risked everything for one final venture. He had to navigate treacherous politics and perilous weather as he embarked on the most significant climb of his life. "Through it all, he did so with humour, warmth, and generosity towards his fellow climbers, but also deep reverence and respect for the sacred Mother Goddess of his Mountain, Chomolungma." Related: Tenzing will be directed by Jennifer Peedom, who previously helmed the award-winning documentaries Solo, Sherpa, Mountain and River. When the project was first announced last year, Peedom said she'd been "working towards this film my whole career". "Tom Hiddleston and Willem Dafoe are two of the most generous and talented actors in the business, so pairing them with our brilliant Himalayan cast is going to be electric," she added. "I have no doubt this film will resonate widely. We all have our own mountains to climb, and this film shows us what human beings are truly capable of." Digital Spy's first print magazine is here!
