Netflix's The Witcher Season 3 Recasts a Major Character

Photos from the set of Netflix's The Witcher show one of the major antagonists for Season 3 of the hit-fantasy show has been recast.

Redanian Intelligence reported the fiery sorcerer, Rience, played by actor Chris Fulton in Season 2, will now be played by Sam Woolf.

The reason for the switch is currently unknown but it is speculated the recast was necessary due to a scheduling conflict.

Filming for The Witcher Season 3 is currently back in full swing after a brief delay brought on by COVID-19 and star Henry Cavill's temporary departure.

The star returned to set and it is unknown how the delay will impact the show's release date, if at all.

Reports suggest the Netflix series is scheduled to complete production in September, in time for release sometime in 2023.
