‘The Witcher’ Season 3 Adds Four New Actors, Including ‘Shang-Chi’s Meng’er Zhang
A few days after production started on The Witcher season 3, Netflix has announced four new actors joining the series.
Here is a roundup of the new actors along with character descriptions provided by Netflix:
- A born fighter, Gallatin (played by Robbie Amell, from Upload) 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.
- A human adopted by the dryads of Brokilon Forest, Milva (played by Meng’er Zhang, from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) 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.
- Royal playboy and younger brother to King Vizimir, Radovid (played by Hugh Skinner, from Fleabag) 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.
- Mistle (played by Christelle Elwin, who appeared in an episode of Bloods) 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.
THE WITCHER Season 3 cast is getting even bigger:

Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as authors like Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
