'Outlander' star to play'Rebus'

Richard Rankin (no relation) will play John Rebus in the six-part adaptation of Ian Rankin's acclaimed crime novels. Filming begins in Scotland next month and will stream on Sweden's Viaplay in 2024. Richard played Roger Wakefield in Outlander.

Wow! What I wouldn't give to see that.... Maybe after a year or so it will come across the pond. Sigh

Rankin is good in the series. We are going to Scotland on a Rick Steves tour in June!

I look at pictures online from The Guardian and other sites. My great grandparents emigrated from there so I've got bagpipes in my blood.

The beginning book is Knots and Crosses from 1987. So Rebus was obviously much younger then. His daughter was just a little girl. I would guess they will start with the first book. Later, theatrical makeup will be added.
