A handful of new cast members have just joined the third season of The Witcher, now in production at Netflix. After the second season of the hit Netflix Original came and went, fans have been looking forward to season 3, which is currently underway. The cast is now getting fleshed out for the new characters that will head into the show in its upcoming third season. Per Deadline, joining the cast are Robbie Amell (Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City), Meng’er Zhang (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), Hugh Skinner (Mamma Mia Here We Go Again!), and Christelle Elwin (Half Bad).
Some details about their characters have also been divulged, teasing what’s to come in the next season. Amell has been cast as the fighter Gallatin, who “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.”

Zhang’s Milva is described as 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.”
Skinner’s character is Prince Radovid. He is a “royal playboy and younger brother to King Vizimir, who 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.”
Meanwhile, Elwin’s Mistle is a part of a gang of misfit teenagers known as The Rats 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.”
