After Captivating Audiences in &#8216;The Witcher&#8217;, Freya Allan Is Set to Terrorize Fans With This Horror Flick

With her stellar depiction of Princess Ciri in The Witcher
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/], Freya Allan quickly became a
household name for those who love the realm of fantasy. Beside Henry Cavill
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] as Geralt, she truly breathed life
into the odyssey of a young girl navigating a tumultuous world filled with
magic. Her skills in embodying a complex character such as Ciri proved to her
fans that the British actress’ career had only just begun. Now, she seems
prepared to venture into a territory that she has not yet explored. 

In 2024, Allan’s fans will catch her first-ever horror movie.


ALBERTO CORREDOR ENLISTS FREYA ALLAN TO REPRISE HIS 2017 FILM

Initially created by the British director Alberto Corredor, Baghead was a short
film that won various awards in its genre. Now, Corredor plans on creating a
full-length flick based on that story with Freya Allan, Peter Mullan, and
Saffron Burrows headlining the cast. It follows the story of a grief-stricken
man who wishes to connect with someone who passed away through a form-changing
witch. The film’s release date is February 8, 2024, for Mexico, while there is
no news about the release date in the USA.

Although it is not clear what role Allan takes on in it, a now-deleted Instagram
post from her showed that she had begun work on the project. When she was
earlier asked in an interview if she found any particular role challenging to
play
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-twenty-one-year-old-freya-allan-reveals-if-there-is-any-role-that-she-finds-most-challenging-to-do/],
the 22-year-old did not point to any specific one. It seems like she is quite
confident in her acting skills. So, she may just nail her role in Baghead as
well as she did in The Witcher.

After all, she will not be the first actress to switch genres in this way. Jenna
Ortega, who gained fame through Netflix, followed a similar path once.


HOW JENNA ORTEGA TOOK ON THE HORROR GENRE AFTER WEDNESDAY

When Jenna Ortega burst onto the screen with Netflix’s fantasy thriller series
Wednesday, her delightful acting quickly turned the series into a bouquet of
peculiar fun and even earned her an Emmy Award nomination.
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-deserved-fans-and-netflix-rejoice-in-the-first-emmy-nomination-of-jenna-ortega-for-the-fan-favorite-netflix-series/] By
delivering countless scenes that went viral in the online domain, Ortega was
deemed one of the best actresses to emerge from her generation. Then, the
21-year-old lent her unique charm to the comedy horror franchise: Scream by
doing two movies for it.

After those, she has now taken on another fantasy-meets-horror project in
Beetlejuice 2. Ortega is also gearing up to make a comeback as Wednesday Addams
in the second season of her Netflix show. In a way, Freya Allan now seems to be
following the same trajectory as Ortega by graduating to the horror-laden
Baghead from The Witcher’s whimsical storyline.
