Netflix has announced the first four new characters who will be joining the Continent in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher season 3.

Robbie Amell (The Tomorrow People), Hugh Skinner (Fleabag), and Christelle Elwin (Half Bad) have been announced alongside Meng’er Zhang – one of the breakouts in 2021’s Marvel hit 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Shang-Chi and the Legend ofღ the Ten Rin🗹gs.

Zhang is set to play Milva, "a human adopted by the dryads of Brokilon Forest." She’s also described as a "fierce and talented hunt♕ress."

Amell is playing "born fighter" Gallatin. He "leads an army of guerrilla Scoia’tael fighting on behalf of Nilfgaard" – which could see him at loggerheads with Geralt this season if the kingdom contin🦹ues its pursuit of Ciri.

Skinner is Radovid, "Roya🐎l playboy and younger brother to King Vizimir." He “finds himself suddenly a man on the inside of the Redanian Intelligence.” Expect him to share some scenes with spymaster Dijkstra.

Finally, Elwin plays Mistle, a member of The Rats. They’re "a gang of misfit teenagers who s💧teal from the rich and give to themselves – and sometimes the poor."

Fans of the source material will know that Mistle and Milva, in particular, are likely to be heavily intertwined with Ciri and Geralt’s journeys this season – and could be fairly sizeable roles💜.

The Witcher season 3, meanwhile, has begun filming, though no release date has yet been announced. A spin-off, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher: Blood Origin, is set to debut on Netflix later this year.
