Merlin and erstwhile Dorian Gray audio star Alexander Vlahos is caught in more time travel drama as part of the cast for the sixth season of Outlander.

Mark Lewis Jones, Vlahos and Jessica Reynolds will be playing Tom Christie, Allan Christie and Malva Christie,  a father and his children who join the community set up by Caitriona Balfe’s Claire and Sam Heughan’s Jamie in pre-Revolutionary War North Carolina.

According to the official descriptions, Jones’ Tom Christie is a fellow Ardsmuir prisoner and devout Protestant, who arrives on Fraser’s Ridge seeking a place to settle. As de facto leader of the Protestant settlers who arrive with him, Tom’s strong opinion and convictions begin to create tension on the Ridge.

Vlahos’s Allan Christie travels to the Ridge with his father Tom and his sister Malva. Headstrong and wary of strangers, he is highly protective of his family as they settle into this new environment.

Reynold’s Malva is Tom’s young, spirited daughter. She is captivated by Claire’s work and modern thinking, which gets her in trouble with her conservative father. She struggles to toe the line between what she wants to do and what is expected of her.
