The Hollywood Reporter reveals that The Witcher season 3 has added a quartet of actors to play characters who should be instantly familiar to fans of Andrzej Sapkowski's novels and the hit video game franchise. Robbie Amell (The Flash), Meng'er Zhang (Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings), Hugh Skinner (Fleabag) and Christelle Elwin (Half Bad) have all boarded the popular series.
Here's a description of each character in the Netflix series:
Gallatin (Amell) - "Aborn fighter, Gallatin leads an army of guerrilla Scoia’tael fighting on behalf of Nilfgaard. Unafraid to speak his truth, Gallatin’s loyalty to his people ultimately leads him on a collision course with Francesca over power."
Milva (Zhang) - "A human adopted by the dryads of Brokilon Forest, Milva is a fierce and talented huntress. Exact archery skills coupled with a stone-cold aptitude for survival make her a formidable adversary in the unforgiving Continent - those that cross her, do so at their peril."
Prince Radovid (Skinner) - "A royal playboy and younger brother to King Vizimir, Radovid finds himself suddenly a man on the inside of the Redanian Intelligence. With his good looks and often drunken charm, Radovid surprises with how incisive he can be in matters of politics, but it’s all games until someone gets hurt."
Mistle (Elwin) - "A member of The Rats, a gang of misfit teenagers who steal from the rich and give to themselves – and sometimes the poor. She is street hard, suspicious of everyone and out for revenge, until a chance meeting that will change everything."
In The Witcher season 3, as monarchs, mages, and beasts of the Continent compete to capture her, Geralt takes Ciri of Cintra into hiding, determined to protect his newly-reunited family against those who threaten to destroy it. Entrusted with Ciri’s magical training, Yennefer leads them to the protected fortress of Aretuza, where she hopes to discover more about the girl’s untapped powers.
Instead, they discover they’ve landed in a battlefield of political corruption, dark magic, and treachery. They must fight back, put everything on the line...or risk losing each other forever.
While it was recently confirmed that shooting on The Witcher has started, there's been no word on a release date. Season 2 was heavily delayed due to COVID, and while reviews for that were middling, this remains one of Netflix's most popular TV shows, hence why this world continues to expand.
