Netflix’s The Witcher final season has added more than 35 actors, including Game of Thrones stars. The fifth season wrapped filming late last year, and Netflix has stayed silent ever since. A 2027 release is the only certainty, so fans have been starving for cast news. The full list has now surfaced, and it includes a comedian, a creature performer, and a writer who now voices a unicorn.

As the list opens, a Westeros veteran arrives to serve a goddess.

Kate Dickie is best known as Lysa Arryn in Game of Thrones, with Prometheus, The Witch, and Loki also on her résumé. She plays Sigrdrifa in The Witcher, a Priestess of Freya on Hindarsfjall in Skellige. In the books, the priestess helps a distraught Yennefer find her center, which is a tall order for anyone.

While Skellige gets its priestess, Toussaint prepares for a duchess with louder energy.

Ellie Taylor is a comedian, writer, and actress whose credits include Ted Lasso, Knuckles, and Plebs. She will portray Anna Henrietta, the Duchess of Toussaint and a fan favorite from B**** & Wine. A stand-up in a ducal gown sounds like a recipe for fun, and this franchise has earned a laugh.

As Toussaint settles in, an old game favorite finally gets her call.

Emily-Jo Young is a stage actress whose television career began recently with Sexy Beast. She will play Shani, the field medic and former lover of Geralt from his Oxenfurt days. Young now carries a character the video game trilogy made beloved, so the pressure is real.

While Geralt gets a medic, the Lady of the Lake gets an apprentice.

Liv Andrusier has stage and television experience, plus the feature film Les Misérables. She will play Condwiramurs Tilly, apprentice to Nimue, who debuted in Season 4 as a girl obsessed with tales of Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri. The pair continue that quest years later, which is a lot to fit into one name.

As the legends find new fans, Nilfgaard gains a general with a familiar surname.

Naomi Battrick is best known as Jocelyn in Jamestown, with The Serpent Queen and His Dark Materials also listed. She will play Meena Coehoorn, a gender-swapped take on the Nilfgaardian general Menno Coehoorn. Book readers will watch closely to see how much of the original commander survives the swap.

While Nilfgaard sorts out its command, Ciri lands in a very unfriendly arena.

Camilla Beeput has appeared in Dune: Prophecy, Bergerac and A Gentleman in Moscow. She will play Marchioness Matilda de Nemeth-Uyvar in the opening episodes. The marchioness is a regular at Dominik Houvenaghel’s fighting pits, where Leo Bonhart has taken Ciri, so the guest list is far from welcoming.

As Ciri deals with the pits, Geralt meets someone who actually helps.

Lee Ingleby has appeared in The Cuckoo, The A Word, and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. He will portray Jan Cronin, the governor of the beekeepers who helps Geralt and his crew early on. Honey and hospitality are on the menu, though this is The Witcher, so peace rarely lasts.

While the beekeepers lend a hand, Toussaint introduces a knight with a memorable nickname.

Andy Apollo has already appeared in 1917, Murder on the Orient Express, Black Mirror, and Pennyworth. He will play Reynart de Bois-Fresnes, known as the Chequered Knight, one of the knights errant of Toussaint. Geralt and his Hansa meet him during their stay, and a nickname that specific is hard to forget.

As the knights line up, one baron finds more than friendship.

Taylor James played Batu in Vikings: Valhalla and has also appeared in Samson, The Beekeeper, and Justice League. He will play Baron de Trastamara, who meets Geralt’s Hansa in Toussaint. The baron develops a friendship and romance with Milva, played by Meng’er Zhang, which gives her a well-earned break.

While romance blooms in Toussaint, a unicorn receives a voice from an unexpected department.

Giannini Hemmings is a writer and post-production coordinator on the show. He will voice the unicorn Ihuarraquax, a character debut few job titles can match. The creature is likely the same unicorn Ciri met in the Season 3 desert, though the show has not confirmed it.

As the unicorn waits for its cue, something larger and grumpier crawls out of a cave.

Adam Basil specializes in creature work, with credits in The Last of Us, Game of Thrones, The Gentlemen, and The Northman. He will portray a Knocker, a giant cave dweller that pesters miners. In the books, Geralt meets one in a cave alongside Avallac’h, so expect dark tunnels and zero hospitality.

While Geralt argues with caves, Milva meets a father who finally behaves like one.

Chike Chan has appeared in Batman Begins, The Assassin, Everest, Andor, and The Stranger. He will play Old Barring, Milva’s biological father, who is described as a kind man. That is a sharp contrast to the a****** adoptive father from Season 4, and Milva has earned the upgrade.

As Milva finds some peace, hired hunters close in on Ciri.

Sam Pamphilon has credits in Malice, Geek Girl, and Smothered, and he will play Cyprian Fripp, a mercenary in Stefan Skellen’s crew. Yinka Awoni, seen in The Stranger and The Rook, will play Zadarlik, another member of that crew. In the books, Ciri finds Fripp at an inn on Savoine Eve, and neither man gets a happy ending, so joining this crew is a poor career choice.

While the hunters meet their fate, Ciri meets a stranger who spots the danger early.

Nick Chadwin has credits in Emmerdale Farm, A is for Acid, and Asylum. He will portray Gosta, a fisherman who meets Ciri in the wintery Hundred Lakes while she searches for Tor Zirael. Gosta quickly realizes dangerous people are chasing her, which is sharp thinking for someone holding a fishing rod.

As Ciri trudges through the frozen lakes, a madam with a mystery waits at the next stop.

Georgia Goodman has appeared in Wednesday, We Might Regret This, and The Running Man. She will play Madam Therese, who could be Therese Lapin from the books. That innkeeper from our world, in actual France, feeds Ciri after she escapes Tir na Lia, though Netflix may do things differently.

While Ciri finds a hot meal, a codename from South Africa has fans squinting at the alphabet.

Neil Stuke has recent credits in Hijack, Grantchester, and This England. His role is listed only under the codename Barcelona, and he is tied to Ciri’s storyline filmed in South Africa. Codenames usually share a first letter with the real name, so Boreas Mun is one guess, though reports also link him to Dominik Houvenaghel.

As one codename keeps fans guessing, another mystery name arrives with a Westeros résumé.

Jamie Michie has appeared in Game of Thrones, Hijack, Karen Pirie, and Baby Reindeer. His character, Dromgool, might be a real name or a codename. Guesses include the Fisher King or a new Crach an Craite, which are very different jobs, so the speculation is wide open.

As the Skelligan names pile up, a long tail of smaller roles is waiting its turn.

Bobby Rainsbury, a young Scottish actress from Outlander: B**** of My B****, will play Gunhild, a name that sounds Skelligan from a mile away. Eighteen more actors fill out the list, among them Adam Trussell as Vifindir, Ben Jones as Arav after 640 episodes of Doctors, and Warren James Dunning, a series regular whose role is still under wraps. Most of these parts have no description yet, and six of them are completely unconfirmed, so the casting reports are doing the talking for now.

Liam Hemsworth, Freya Allan and Anya Chalotra lead the returning cast, with Sharlto Copley and James Purefoy back as Leo Bonhart and Stefan Skellen. Around them sits a fresh crowd built mostly from book and game favorites. Netflix has gone quiet since filming wrapped, so every update and leak before the 2027 release is worth chasing, because no one can sit through that silence politely.
