Netflix probably couldn't have imagined a better launch of The Witcher on its own streaming platform. The first season, which was released on December 20, 2019, continues to be one of the most watched and sought-after shows and the hype surrounding the second season continues to gain momentum.
After speculation about Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker in "Star Wars") for the role of Vesemir – which, incidentally, has not yet been confirmed – another well-known face in Season 2 could now cause a sensation. It fits that The Witcher is celebrated on Netflix as a legitimate successor of "Game of Thrones" in the fantasy area, because a cult character from the extremely successful, but now ended HBO series, should now make its debut in The Witcher.
We are talking about the Norwegian actor Kristofer Hivju, whom you know as "Tormund" from "Game of Thrones". According to a report by the usually well-informed fan site Redanian Intelligence, it was cast as levels for the upcoming second season of The Witcher.
The site has a very good history regarding (also really applicable) leaks around the Netflix series, so that even without official confirmation it can almost be taken for granted. Accordingly, there is already a corresponding document on which the character with the nickname "Nigel" is mentioned accordingly.
Nivellen is somewhat unknown to gamers, because character plays no role in the role playing games of CD Projekt RED, but it does in the books. After all: In the trading card game Gwent there is a card from Nivellen.
