Another seven The Witcher Season 2 cast members have been announced by Netflix, and the group includes familiar faces from Bridgerton and The Hobbit.

The castings were announced on The Witcher's Twitter account with a description for each character and their respective actor.

Bridgerton actor Adjoa Andoh is joining as Nenneke, who acts as a mother to Geralt in the books. She doesn't appear in any of The Witcher games, but she does get a small shoutout in The Witcher 3.

Cassie Clare joins as Philippa Eilhart, a shape-shifting sorceress and head of the Lodge of Sorceresses. Mage Rience will be played by fellow Bridgerton alum Chris Fulton, and Kevin Doyle will play Ba'Lian, a character original to the Netflix show. Finally, partners-in-crime Codringher and Fenn are played by writer, director, and actor Simon Callow and actor, comedian, and disability activist Liz Carr.

The Witcher Season 2 is currently slated to premiere sometime this year, after suffering some delays due to the global pandemic and Henry Cavill sustaining a small injury in December 2020. Here's everything we know about the second season, including the other cast members announced so far.
