No, Colin O'Donoghue is NOT guest starring in Outlander season four
Caitriona Balfe had fans in a tizzy with an erroneous tweet
Bad news, Outlander fans: Colin O'Donoghue will not be making an appearance in the show's upcoming fourth season.
For one hot minute on Tuesday, a tweet from Caitriona Balfe, which tagged the Irish actor in a post thanking all of her Outlander collaborators as filming wrapped on season four, had fans convinced that he would feature in the new episodes in one way or another.

Unfortunately, though, Balfe soon corrected the error, after the Once Upon a Time star had sent her a confused response.
"Wrong Colin!!! #StartingRumours" she wrote.
Sam Heughan chimed in to thank Colin for keeping the cast "going from afar", and teased a disappointed fan: "There's always season five!?"
