Now, IMDb has updated its page to put some names to the characters in the series adaptation, with Freya Allan as Ciri, Millie Brady (The Last Kingdom) as Princess Renfri, Anya Chalotra as Yennefer, Adam Levy as Mousesack, and Jodhi May as Queen Calanthe, to name a few. (Fun fact: May appeared in Game of Thrones as Maggy the Frog, who predicted Cersei’s rise fall into power, but let’s give that topic a different post)
The Witcher’s tentative premier will be in October this year, featuring eight episodes, on Netflix.
