Part of the plot reads, “Entrusted 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.”
While fans look forward to the turmoil that awaits the main characters, fans got an even bigger scoop. Netflix has announced the official new cast members for The Witcher Season 3.
Robbie Amell, Hugh Skinner, Christelle Elwin and Meng’er Zhang join ‘The Witcher’ Season 3 cast
Rumors and details of new characters have circulated online for some time. Redania Intelligence teased fans that The Witcher Season 3 would introduce The Professor and Milva from the books. Netflix officially announced actor Meng’er Zhang was cast in the role of Milva.
The character description reads, “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.”
Joining Zhang in the cast for The Witcher Season 3 is actor Robbie Amell as Gallatin. His character is “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.”
The new addition to the cast list includes Hugh Skinner as Prince Radovid. His character is the “royal playboy and younger brother to King Vizimir, Radovid finds himself suddenly a man on the inside of the Redanian Intelligence.”
Christelle Elwin will play the role of Mistle in The Witcher Season 3. “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,” explained Netflix. In the end, she is out for revenge until she has an unlikely encounter.
