Fleabag star Hugh Skinner and Meng’er Zhang from Marvel’s Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings have joined the cast of The Witcher season three.
The Netflix fantasy series has also added Robbie Amell, star of Amazon Prime series Upload, and Bloods actress Christelle Elwin for the upcoming episodes.
Skinner will star as Prince Radovid, a royal playboy and younger brother to King Vizimir who finds himself on the inside of the Redanian Intelligence.
Amell will appear as Gallatin, who leads an army of guerrilla Scoia’tael people fighting on behalf of the ancient Nilfgaard empire.
And finally, Elwin plays Mistle, a member of The Rats, a gang of misfit teenagers who steal from the rich but mainly keep the spoils for themselves.
Cavill will also star alongside Anya Chalotra, who is returning as Yennefer of Vengerberg, and Freya Allan as Princess Cirilla of Cintra.
According to Netflix, the series will see Geralt take Ciri into hiding, “determined to protect his newly reunited family against those who threaten to destroy it”.
However, they will instead arrive in “a battlefield of political corruption, dark magic, and treachery”.
The show first aired in December 2019 and is based on the books by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski.
