At the time of its announcement, many fans were left a little confused at the creative direction of the extended Outlander universe, especially because a spin-off focused on Lord John Grey was rumoured to be in the works previously.
Speaking to RadioTimes.com and other press at a set visit for Outlander: Blood of My Blood last year, Davis and writer Matthew B Roberts were asked why they'd made the decision to focus on Blood of My Blood rather than a spin-off based on the books, like Lord John Grey.
While the original series of Outlander is very much centred around Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitríona Balfe), they have encountered plenty of recurring characters across the seasons, with Lord John Grey being one of them.

Downton Abbey star joins Millie Gibson in brand new first look at The Forsytes revampAlien: Earth creator on the element of the series that made bosses nervous"It had been written – well, there was a writer attached – and I'd signed a contract to do a series. It went down to the wire of whether or not it would get approved by the network, but ultimately, at the time, it was decided that that wasn’t the right fit, or wasn’t the right thing for them."
"So I guess it really depends on finding a network for it and audience interest in moving forward and doing a spin-off. But definitely, it was something that was on the cards at one point. The fact that it didn’t go ahead was very disappointing at the time.
"But whether or not it will go ahead again, that’s really in the hands of the audiences, and whether or not there is still an interest in seeing more from this character."Well, it certainly seems as though Davis is exploring the "possibility" of a Lord John spin-off, as she states, but as for if and when that will come to fruition, we'll just have to wait and see.
