New Witcher Characters Seemingly Revealed For Season Two

Production has already started on The Witcher season 2, and Netflix is filling the cast with some brand new faces for the much anticipated new season. We've had hints of those castings thanks to social media and past sleuthing, but courtesy of Redanian Intelligence we now have a host of casting breakdowns for season 2, and it reveals some favorites from the books and the games. The biggest reveal in the list is Nivellen, who is the main character in a fan-favorite story from The Last Wish. Nivellen is a man who has been cursed and put int he form of a beast, and he's one of the more charming characters Geralt comes across. This also possibly means that season 2 will see the introduction of the Bruxa, a more powerful form of vampire that Geralt ends up facing towards the story's end. Nivellen will be played by Kristofer Hivju.

The other big addition is Dijkstra, who doesn't have an actor attached yet but according to the cast list will appear in three episodes. Fans of the games are well acquainted with Dijkstra, someone who starts off as the Chief of Intelligence of the King and thus interacts with not only Geralt but also Jaskier and Yennefer. He is quite helpful, but there's something always in it for him, and we can't wait to see that brought to live-action.

You can find the full list below, which also includes Vesemir, Rience, Ithlinne, Lambert, and more.
