The Witcher announces new cast for Season 3, including Milva, Mistle and Radovid

Season 3 of The Witcher entered production two weeks ago and it’s been a recent Netflix PR strategy/tradition to announce new cast of any new season of a returning series around the time cameras start rolling. Thus, here are four new faces that will be joining Henry Cavill, Anya Chalotra and Freya Allan.

Meng’er Zhang as Milva

We’ve already revealed some time ago that Milva would appear in The Witcher Season 3 and Netflix just confirmed it. Here’s her official description:

“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.“

Meng’er Zhang‘s most recent big credit it Shang-Chi and Legend of the Ten Rings, where she plays Xu Xialing, Shang-Chi’s sister.

Christelle Elwin as Mistle

Mistle is a tad unexpected casting for Season 3 as she appears in the books a little later, but Netflix seems to have brought her introduction forward. Here’s the Netflix description:

“Mistle is 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.“

Christelle Elwin‘s credits include Netflix’s Half Bad and Bloods.

Hugh Skinner as Prince Radovid

Yes, this is Radovid himself, but no, in the Netflix version he’s not Vizimir’s son, but rather his younger brother. We already figured Vizimir might have a younger brother in the first uncovered Season 3 audition tape, but didn’t imagine he could be Radovid. In the tape, the prince seemed to have been flirting with Jaskier.

Netflix described Radovid as following:

“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 drunken charm, Radovid amazes with how incisive he can be in political affairs, but it’s all games until someone gets hurt.“

Hugh Skinner‘s credits include Poldark, Fleabag, The Windsors and more.

Robbie Amell as Gallatin

Gallatin is the new, original character out of the four announced, but maybe he’s not entirely new as his description and position feels very familiar to Isengrim. Perhaps he’s an amalgamation of Isengrim and someone else, but perhaps there’s still a chance to see Isengrim in the latter seasons.

“A born 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.”

Robbie Amell recently played Chris Redfield in the Resident Evil live-action reboot attempt titled Welcome to Raccoon City.

Other cast members for The Witcher Season 3 that Netflix didn’t announce today include Safiyya Ingar, Jim Sturgeon and Sean Cernow. Follow Redanian Intelligence for more news!

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...

Henry Cavill Injury Doesn't Affect Production

Image
By now you've likely heard that Henry Cavill has injured himself during a shoot for The WItcher. United Kingdom media giant The Sun , reported the news first on Cavill's injury. A source close to the show had this to say regarding the injury, "He just suddenly pulled up and was clearly in a lot of pain. It wasn’t clear if an object had hit his leg or it was some sort of hamstring or muscle injury." This took place while Henry was suspended 20 feet in the air for a major scene. While the title of The Sun's article alludes to the production schedule going into chaos, Deadline.com has now also shared the news but notes that any impact to production is not heavily felt due to the coming holiday shut down. It would seem if Cavill had to sustain any injury, this is a perfect time for the show to absorb it. What do you think of the injury news? Let us know in the comments below or in our forum !

The Witcher Season 3 to enter production in early 2022

Image
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...
