Netflix’s ‘The Witcher’ Adds New Characters And Cast To The Continent In Season 3

Ahead of the new season of ‘The Witcher’, Netflix has confirmed who will be joining the existing cast.

Gallatin, played by Robbie Amell, known for his work in ‘Upload’, ‘Code 8’, and ‘Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City’. Gallatin is a born fighter who leads an army of guerrilla Scoia’tael fighting on behalf of Nilfgaard. Unafraid to speak his truth, his loyalty to his people ultimately leads him on a collision course with Francesca over power.

Milva will be performed by Meng’er Zhang, who most recently appeared in Marvel’s ‘Shang-Chi and The Legend Of The Ten Rings’. She is 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, known for his roles in ‘Mamma Mia Here We Go Again!’, ‘Falling For Figaro’, and ‘Fleabag’, is Prince Radovid. Radovid 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.

Mistle, played by Christelle Elwin (‘Half Bad’, ‘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.
