UK fans may recognize a few faces among the cast, including comedian and children’s television cult star Lenny Henry who will play Balor, Dylan Moran ( Black Books) who will play the humorously named Uthrok One-Nut, and Huw Novelli ( The Capture), playing Callan “Brother Death.” But there are also several stage actors such as Zach Wyatt who will play the role of Syndril and Amy Murray who will portray Fenrik, as well as at least one actor, Lizzie Annis in the role of Zacaré, who is making her professional debut.

Like other explorations into the world of The Witcher, the upcoming spin-off prequel The Witcher: Blood Origin both expands upon and provides context for the main series.
