Netflix’s ‘The Witcher’ Casts 7 More Actors for Key Roles in S2

I am getting even more excited for S2 with all these new casting announcements!! ~ V

The Witcher S2 Storyline:

Convinced Yennefer’s (Anya Chalotra) life was lost at the Battle of Sodden, Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill) brings Princess Cirilla (Freya Allan) to the safest place he knows, his childhood home of Kaer Morhen.

While the Continent’s kings, elves, humans and demons strive for supremacy outside its walls, he must protect the girl from something far more dangerous: the mysterious power she possesses inside.

Actors from ‘Bridgerton,’ ‘Outlander,’ ‘Downton Abbey’ and more join the fantasy series.

The Witcher has added seven additional cast members to season two in roles recognizable to the fans of Andrzej Sapkowski’s books.

Here are the new castmembers and their official character names. The descriptions of the characters, however, are from the books and games, so those might change in the show.

Adjoa Andoh (Bridgerton, Silent Witness) in the role of Nenneke. In the books, she’s a priestess of Melitele, and the head of the Temple of Melitele.

Cassie Clare (Brave New World, The Bisexual) in the role of Philippa Eilhart. She’s an advisor to Redania’s King Vizimir II and leader of the Lodge of Sorceresses. This casting was previously reported as joining the show on several fan sites, but this is the first time her casting has been confirmed by Netflix.
