‘The Witcher’: Robbie Amell Amongst Four New Cast Joining Season 3
Netflix has announced four new cast members joining ‘The Witcher‘ for Season 3 including Robbie Amell, Meng’er Zhang, Hugh Skinner and Christelle Elwin.
Based on the best-selling fantasy series of books, ‘The Witcher’ is an epic tale of fate and family. The story of the intertwined destinies of three individuals in the vast world of The Continent, where humans, elves, witchers, gnomes, and monsters battle to survive and thrive, and where good and evil is not easily identified.
In 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. Entrusting 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.
The new cast announced today are:
Robbie Amell (‘Upload’, ‘Code 8’, ‘The Flash’) who is set to join the third season as Gallatin. 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. Amell is best known for his work s
Meng’er Zhang (‘Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings’) will play Milva. 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.
Hugh Skinner (‘Mamma Mia Here We Go Again!’, ‘Falling For Figaro’, ‘Fleabag’) is set to portray Prince Radovid. 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.
Christelle Elwin (‘Half Bad’, ‘Bloods’) will play Mistle. 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.
Henry Cavill as Geralt, Anya Chalotra as Yennefer, Freya Allan as Ciri, Joey Batey as Jaskier, MyAnna Buring as Tissaia, Tom Canton as Filavandrel, Jeremy Crawford as Yarpen Zigrin, Eamon Farren as Cahir, Mahesh Jadu as Vilgefortz, Terence Maynard as Artorius, Lars Mikkelsen as Stregobor, Mimi Ndiweni as Fringilla, Royce Pierreson as Istredd, Wilson Mbomio as Dara, Anna Shaffer as Triss, Therica Wilson-Read as Sabrina, Cassie Clare as Philippa Eilhart, Mecia Simson as Francesca Findabair, Graham McTavish as Sigismund Dijkstra, Bart Edwards as Duny, Simon Callow as Codringher, Liz Carr as Fenn, Ed Birch as Vizimir, and Kaine Zajaz as Gage.

The series will be directed by Stephen Surjik, Gandja Monteiro, Loni Peristere and Bola Ogun. Based on the novels by Andrzej Sapkowski, the episodic scriptwriters are Mike Ostrowski, Tania Lotia, Haily Hall, Rae Benjamin, Clare Higgins, Javier Grillo-Marxuach, Matthew D’Ambrosio and Troy Dangerfield.
The 3rd Season of the main show is currently in production, but before that, we have the spin-off series, ‘The Witcher: Blood Origin’, due to drop at some point later this year. The new prequel series set in an elven world 1200 years before the events of ‘The Witcher’. Blood Origin will tell a story lost to time – exploring the creation of the first prototype Witcher, and the events that lead to the pivotal “Conjunction of the Spheres,” when the worlds of monsters, men, and elves merged to become one.
We don’t yet have premiere dates for ‘The Witcher‘ Season 3 or ‘The Witcher: Blood Origin’, but if you want to keep track of these or any other shows, you can add them via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when they get a UK premiere date.
