“I’m drawn to the dark stuff”- &#8216;The Witcher&#8217; Star Freya Allan Opened Up About the Roles She Is Eyeing for Her Next Project

At just 18 years old, Freya Allan shook up Hollywood with her breakthrough in
The Witcher [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/]. With the show gaining
steam season by season, Allan’s Hollywood journey also picked up pace with
exciting projects, including the upcoming Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
However, one thing that has been a staple in nearly all her projects is their
connection to fantasy. While the now 22-year-old has shown time and again that
she is a pro with magic, supernatural, mythology, and folklore, she now seems
ready to spread her wings.

Allan has her sights set on stepping up her acting game beyond The Witcher, even
though she has a soft spot for this genre.


FREYA ALLAN’S ONTO HER NEXT ACTING CHAPTER

Freya Allan recently starred in the horror thriller Baghead, which was another
dark tale mixed with fantasy. She played the role of Iris, a girl inheriting a
dilapidated pub only to uncover a shape-shifting demon lurking in its depths.
While talking to NME about the fourth season
[https://www.nme.com/news/tv/the-witcher-season-4-freya-allan-plot-henry-cavill-3577755]
of The Witcher, she shared her craving for a change from the supernatural. She
yearned for a role that was purely about acting, devoid of any frills or
fancies. “I definitely think I’m drawn to the dark stuff”, said the English
actress.

The actress, however, put it straight that she is now looking to dabble in a bit
of everything and expand her reach into all sorts of “realms”. Yet, Ciri will
forever remain close to her heart as she feels a certain kinship with the
character. Ciri’s longing for doing more than what is attainable is a sentiment
that resonates with Allan. “I’m like Ciri: I want to do everything”, said Allan
once, as shared by Netflix Queue. And from her interview with NME, it became
clear that Ciri will shine her brightest in the fourth season of The Witcher.

Allan hinted at the wild transformation Ciri will undergo in the fourth season,
which is somewhat scary even for the actress herself.


CIRI WILL NOT BE THE SAME IN THE NEXT CHAPTER OF THE WITCHER

In the season 3 finale of The Witcher, Ciri encountered the Rats and took on the
identity of Falka, a descendant of someone destined to bring about the world’s
downfall. This surprising turn left fans questioning Ciri’s heritage and the
potential for darkness in the next season. In her interview, Allan hinted that
the upcoming chapter will be unlike anything seen before, especially for Ciri.
The actress teased that Ciri’s journey is going to take a drastically different
turn in the franchise ahead.

Freya Allan confessed to feeling both thrilled and a bit “scared” as well, about
bringing that aspect of Ciri to life and the transformation she will be going
through in the next season. However, despite this mix of feelings, Allan is
“extremely grateful” for the interesting character arc her role got in the
franchise
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-ciri-and-her-transformation-in-the-witcher-from-season-1-to-season-2/].
Now, with doors of opportunity swung wide and her drive at an all-time high,
Allan is ready to showcase a whole new dimension of her acting abilities in her
next project, something her fans have yet to experience.
