**An actress from Game of Thrones joins Geralt's world**

Kate Dickie, known for playing Lysa Arryn in Game of Thrones, is joining the cast of The Witcher. In this final stage, she will portray Sigrdrifa, a priestess of Freya who is essential to Yennefer's spiritual journey.

The character appears in the books Baptism of Fire and The Lady of the Lake. This reinforces the shift toward an adaptation that is closer to the original material.

The Skellige Isles enter the scene

According to Redanian Intelligence, the story will bring the Skellige Isles to the screen for the first time. This mythical setting is one of the most beloved by players of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

The new setting adds strength to the saga's mystical component. The focus will shift away from action alone to allow for a deeper and more spiritual narrative.

Liam Hemsworth takes over as Geralt

Henry Cavill's departure was one of the most controversial moments of the series. Now, the lead role will be played by Liam Hemsworth, who will debut as Geralt of Rivia in the fourth season.
