The Witcher casts Wild Hunt voice actor and more

The last weeks have been full of new cast members for the second season of The Witcher. We discoverd the actress playing Queen Meve as well as some other minor roles. However, this is not the end of information on this topic. Today we can announce the five new cast members.

First is Alastair Parker, who played roles in Doctor Who and Carnival Row. However, fans of The Witcher may perhaps recognize him as he lent his voice to the dwarf Cleaver in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. His role in Season 2 is unknown, but as you can see, he has a very specific body build. His appearance and age match the description of Sigismund Dijkstra, whose audition was disclosed a few months ago. And the casting description for “David” aka Dijkstra can be found here.

Next is british actor Richard Cunningham. Richard appeared in productions such as His Dark Materials, Grantchester and Rogue One. It is not known yet what the character will play and in which episode he will appear.

We’ve also learned that actress Michele Moran has joined the cast of the second season. Michele is known for her episodic roles in such series as Into the Badlands and Flack. Unfortunately, it is not known yet what role she received, but we will try to find out.

We also have very strong suspicions that actor and badminton player Krysten Coombs will play one of the dwarves in second season. His role remains unknown, but we suspect that he will join Yarpen Zigrin’s company and he could he will play one of the Dahlberg brothers. Does the presence of Yarpen and other dwarves mean that we will see scenes of the caravan journey and the elven attack on it near Shaerrawedd? At this point, the chances of it are very good. You may have noticed Krysten’s brief appearance in Game of Thrones when he played one of the dwarves at Joffrey Baratheon’s wedding dressed as one of the realm’s kings.

Lastly, there is young actress Niamh McCormack. She will play the mysterious-sounding character W in an episode directed by Stephen Surjik. It’s possible that ‘W’ is the character’s codename.

As production of The Witcher went from locations back to their studio at Arborfield, even smaller casting news are very welcome. Or maybe one of them isn’t small? Maybe Alastair Parker is indeed Dijkstra? What do you think?

An unexpected character is returning to The Witcher Season 2

Image
It’s been a busy week for Netflix’s The Witcher . We reported about a curious action scene being filmed at Kaer Morhen involving Henry Cavill’s Geralt, Freya Allan’s Ciri along with many new witchers and we followed that up with a report about a number of female characters involved in that storyline as well. Today we have something that surprised us a fair bit. Redanian Intelligence has learned that Danica , played by Imogen Daines , will return to the second season of The Witcher and will appear in one of its first episodes directed by Stephen Surjik. To remind you, Danica is the sex worker who Geralt is with in the beginning of the third episode of the first season and she’s examining the monster slayer’s scars. Imogen Daines as Danica with Henry Cavill as Geralt in The Witcher S01E03 The return of such a minor character is quite unexpected and it’s unclear how Danica would fit in any of the storylines of Season 2. To put the timeline into context, the scene we saw in the ser...

Everyone is eagerly waiting for The Witcher Season 2 on December 17, but the work on the next season doesn’t stay still and the scripts are being written as we speak. If you recall, Season 3 of The Witcher will have a number of new writers who started their work this July. We were wondering when filming for the next season would begin and now we have a window. Thanks to the newest listing on Production Weekly, we now know that Season 3 of The Witcher is planned to enter production in the first quarter of 2022 . But bear in mind that production schedules are never solid and are always subject to change, especially in a post-covid world. Nevertheless, at least now we approximately know the production window and when Netflix wants to get things underway. Contact info blacked out for privacy reasons . Also disregard the locations and directors. That is old info. Season 3 will also have a significant change: instead of Arborfield Studios, production will move to Longcross Studios, w...

The Witcher Season 4 To Start Pre-Production Very Soon

Image
News on the Netflix’s The Witcher haven’t been exactly plentiful in the last couple of months, aside from the upcoming anime The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep that is set for a late 2024 release. Going into 2024, things will become more active again as pre-production for Season 4 will become more active soon. Pre-production for The Witcher Season 4 to kick into full gear in January 2024 We’ve already reported months ago that even during the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, some departments that weren’t attached to acting or writing, were already doing some work on The Witcher Season 4, but in lighter capacity than usual due to the circumstances. Now things are ready for the next phase of pre-production of The Witcher Season 4 and it will kick into full gear in January 2024 . There is no concrete filming date yet, but we do know that active pre-production on The Witcher normally takes place for around 8-10 weeks, so we’re likely looking at a March/April filming start. Moreover, thi...
