The Witcher is arguably recasting one of the main villains for Season 3

Rience felt firsthand that it was better not to upset Yennefer. Since then, the fire mage has had a severe burn scar on his face. We don’t want to spoil you if you don’t already know the episodes, but the antagonist plays an important role in the current Season 2 of the Witcher series on Netflix.

It appears that Rience will be recast for Season 3. If the inside information is correct, Netflix will replace actor Chris Fulton with Sam Woolf. That’s what the website Redanian Intelligence claims, which has often been able to draw attention to itself with correct predictions.

Who is Sam Woolf?

By the way, do you see pictures that Sam Woolf should already be showing on the set of season 3? According to Redanian Intelligence, the images have been available for some time. However, due to the similarity between the two actors, it was not immediately clear that it was Sam Woolf. Anonymous sources have now confirmed this. Nothing is known about the reasons for the change.

In case the actor doesn’t tell you: Sam Woolf is taking on the role of Prince Edward in The Crown Season 5 on Netflix. He also voiced the character Birstan in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. You can check him out on Twitter:

What do we know about Season 3?

Well, we definitely know that a third season is already in production! Good news for fans, after all, series and films are heavily dependent on the often fluctuating interest of viewers.

However, season 2 was able to continue the quite surprising mega success of the first season. After a total of over 540 million watched hours of season 1, the new episodes also collected a gigantic 460 million hours, like Variety reported. This puts both seasons in the top 10 most watched shows on Netflix.

So it was a simple math lesson for Netflix that a third season would probably be worth it as well. And: Other Witcher programs on Netflix, including the Blood Origin series, should continue to expand the successful run of the novel and game adaptation.
