r/netflixwitcher on Reddit: The new and returning cast of The Witcher Season 2: the complete list
July 12, 2020 -

This post lists every member of the new known cast of Season 2, plus a reminder of who's back from the first season. I'll update this list as we get new info of course. (I hope we can replace all these "Unknown" before Season 2 airs :P)

For each actor, you see who they play, a short description of the character, a link to their past experience (IMDb) and finally the source, in other words where the casting info came.

Click on the actor's name to see their photo, or you can directly browse this imgur album to have a complete view on all the new faces of the Continent!

Don't hesitate to tell me if there are mistakes or if I missed an update about an actor/character. Feedback and questions are obviously welcomed too. :)
