The Witcher Season 3 and Blood Origin Cast Falka

The Witcher: Blood Origin, set 1200 years before Geralt, is set to introduce a number of canonical legendary characters from Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels. We already know Jacob Collins-Levy as Eredin, Samuel Blenkin as Avallac’h and Ella Schrey-Yeats as Ithlinne. Now we know of one more that will also appear in the main series.

We’ve learned that British actress Hiftu Quasem (Ten Percent, Killing Eve) will portray the legendary character Falka in The Witcher Season 3 as well as Blood Origin. We’ve also known for months that Quasem has been involved in the Morocco shoots for Season 3 back in July 2022 alongside Freya Allan‘s Ciri, but couldn’t quite place her role until now.

It’s quite clear that Ciri in the Korath Desert will be seeing visions as we already reported at the time that Gaia Mondadori‘s Pavetta was involved in the Morocco shoots as well. In addition to her mother, it’s now clear that Ciri will be seeing Falka as well, whose name she will adopt very soon after the desert chapter.

In the novels, Falka was a historical figure who lived in the 1100s, only a century before the main events. She led a rebellion against her father, King Vridank who left her mother and remarried. Conflicting historical documents and reports in the novels suggest that Falka may have also been a carrier of Elder Blood and potentially an ancestor to Ciri.

In the Netflix series, the mage Stregobor expresses his very strong feelings towards Falka and reveals that he was present during Falka’s Rebellion. He reveals that his hands are an illusion and implied that Falka took them.

Falka’s role in The Witcher: Blood Origin is unclear. She was a quarter-elf like Yennefer and wouldn’t be able to sustain a long life to both be in the Blood Origin timeline around the Conjunction of the Spheres and in the timeline where Stregobor would be alive. So the timelines here don’t exactly add up as she would have to live around 1100 years. It’s possible that Falka’s appearance may also be a vision in Blood Origin.

In The Witcher Season 2, the fiery Falka figure conjured by Stregobor was performed by actress Scarlett Maltman.

Season 3 of The Witcher is in post-production for a Summer 2023 release. The live-action prequel The Witcher: Blood Origin has been set a Christmas 2022 release. Stay tuned to Redanian Intelligence and do pop into our Discord server to join in on The Witcher conversation.

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 !

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...
