The Continent is a busy, brutal place, so let’s get into it. Note: This guide contains spoilers for Season 1, so consider yourself warned.

Lets talk about Dwarf portrayal in Neflix's The Witcher
Fenn, from Codringher and Fenn is a human with Dwarfism, not a Dwarf Dwarf! So they exist in canon. Honestly, actors about 5 foot to 5’5” could have played the dwarf race, with a fake belly under costume to fill them out. They need to look hardy and dense, unfortunately these actors can’t portray that. More on reddit.com

July 14, 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. :)

March 19, 2020 - Jaskier, a.k.a. the bard who sang "Toss a Coin to Your Witcher" in Season 1, will be back as Geralt's unlikely friend in Season 2. Joey Batey's character isn't much of a fighter and doesn't have magical powers or mutations, so it should be interesting to see what part Jaskier plays as the threat of war with Nilfgaard grows.

August 8, 2025 - Originally, Claire Cooper was attached to the role ahead of filming, but when the show dropped on Netflix it was Kerri Quinn who portrayed the character. Cooper does appear at the very end of the show, posting contracts for a witcher, but credited as a random villager instead, while during filming that was meant to be Ithlinne’s mother. That scene was filmed in Iceland, so we can see why the show wouldn’t fly Quinn there just for that one shot. Chris Fulton’s Rience in Season 2 (left), Sam Woolf’s Rience in Season 2 (right)
